    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    @MilesDeep: I will do what you recommend with regards to rule sets. One last thing on this topic,  you write:  As for your question on IPS Policy (Balanced, Security, Connectivity), that only shows up when you have enabled the download of the Snort VRT rules. We have enabled to download the Snort VRT rules.  Where do I (globally, I hope) set the IPS Policy? You can select an IPS Policy on the RULE CATEGORIES tab for the Interface in the Snort menu.  So click Services…Snort and then select the Snort interface you want to edit by clicking the small e icon next to the interface.  Next, in the bottom row of tabs that appears, click RULE CATEGORIES.  You should see a dropdown selection like the one pictured in the attachment to this post.

    HAVP + Snort: connect() failed: Operation not permitted

    @Zosimo: Current setup pfSense 2.1-RELEASE (i386) FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p11 snort 2.9.5.5 pkg v3.0.3 HAVP antivirus 0.91_1 pkg v1.01 squid Network 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3 Squid is configured as a transparent proxy, and HAVP as the parent for Squid (and set accordingly in the config). Snort is not configured to block sites when an alert is triggered, but is apparently doing so anyways. The system log files show Feb 12 13:22:12 havp[55759]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:22:01 havp[44820]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:22:00 havp[44820]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:21:59 havp[44820]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:21:08 havp[77462]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:21:06 havp[78132]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:21:05 havp[44591]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:19:37 havp[57273]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted Feb 12 13:17:21 havp[55759]: connect() failed: Operation not permitted It would seem that I am having the same issue as the OP in this post: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,18725.0.html. Was this ever fixed? Snort should not block anything if you have the "block offenders" checkbox unchecked on the Interface tab.  If you think Snort is the cause, simply stop the Snort process by clicking the green arrow icon on the Snort Interfaces tab and waiting for it to turn to a red X.  At that point Snort is dead and not blocking anymore.  Try your connection then.  If it still fails, then Snort is not your problem. Another way to check if Snort is the cause is to click on Diagnostics…Tables and select the snort2c table in the dropdown list.  If no IP addresses show up, then Snort is not blocking.  All blocked IPs by Snort get put in the snort2c table that you can view under Diagnostics…Tables.  If an IP address is not in that table, then Snort is not blocking that IP.

    HAVP not found, fail clamd

    Actually, this happens because the HAVP config expects to find the following files at /var/run/clamav: clamd.sock clamd.pid The thing is, in pfSense those files are found in /var/run, which is why the package can't find them. Moreover, there seems to be no way to change the path in the config file (and I read somewhere this was hardcoded into the scanner). The current workaround for this is creating this directory and linking the files together. mkdir /var/run/clamav ln -s /var/run/clamd.sock /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock && ln -s /var/run/clamd.pid /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid The problem is that these files get lost on every reboot. I've tried modifying the service startup script to check for this automatically, but have had no luck so far. Hope this helps

    There is a recently launched NTP attack on a large number of servers, dunno how many are left working properly. Last I heard was a 400gbps ddos. The reason removing pfblocker allowed it to work was that the attack was a coverup for an infiltration of some servers, who were subsequently identified as compromised and added to pfblocker's lists.

    Do you have your Wi-Fi on a seperate subnet or on a separate Pfsens interface from your LAN? If so then run the Traffic shaping Wizard and dedicate 2MB of total bandwidth (Set upload and download max) Then test it to ensure it works. I done something similar, and can confirm it workshere. That Wi-Network won't allow the Wi-Network to go over 2BM total download and upload…if too many people is on it, it just slows down, but it won't let the wifi exceed 2 MB download and Upload as a total. since your already running Squid, you can use cacheing to make it appear faster then it actually is without it chewing up your bandwidth.

    Squid/Squidguard - Allow only specific URL and not the entire domain?

    Maybe you can try a "whitelist" in squidguard. You create an extra folder called "whitelist" into your favorite blocklist.tgz. (so download it first on your desktop) That folder, called whitelist, should contain a url file or a domain file, with the urls or domains you want to whitelist. Upload that manipulated blocklist.tgz into pfSense, and update squidguard with that locally stored blocklist. Now in the squidguard menu (Proxy filter) in the tab "Common ACL" you add the "whitelist" category to whitelist. Save and Apply and test the previously blocked url.

    Chrome may be using HTTPS and not HTTP, and may be bypassing the proxy. The default setting in squidGuard is to block. Go to the Common ACL tab, look in the Target Rules List, and make sure the last entry for default is set to Allow. Then go back to the first squidGuard tab, apply, and then test again.

    @bmeeks: @digdug3: :o stupid me… I changed the name in "Whitelists" and of course you need to reset them in all the interfaces. Maybe you could add a warning that the whitelist is used in an interface and should be re-enabled? I can do that.  I already flag an error message when trying to delete a "currently assigned to an interface" whitelist.  I can do the same with rename, or else just silently go ahead and change the name for all interfaces it is assigned to (and maybe just pop up an info box to let the user know).  I think I like the "just rename it on assigned interfaces" option best. I'll put this on my TODO list.  To late, though, for the 3.0.4 version that is in review right now. Bill No problem, it's just to prevent stupid questions like this in the future, although I know that even if you warn people, they still don't -read- it…

    Thanks for the reply! Why can't you? Maybe you could solve this issue in a future version. I'll give it a try with the softflowd package and then I update this issue.
