    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: Your suggestion is preferred, but from I understood from you, nobody is interested or have the knowledge. Again thank you, for updating this package over the years. I'm sure there is someone here on the forum using the package that has the knowledge to maintain it. Another option if IDS/IPS is critical is to use the Linux package on a separate virtual machine or hardware appliance. Inline IPS performance would actually be very good using a Linux box (or even a FreeBSD box) with two separate NICs and configure true netmap hardware-to-hardware mode. That is many times more performant than the hardware-to-host mode that is required when using netmap within pfSense. Of course using a separate box would mean no GUI, but that's how the vast majority of the world uses Suricata already (without a GUI).

    @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.

    @Gertjan Thanks for your reply – that’s also my impression. The point is: I don’t really see any lists right now that are actually “maintained” in the sense of being actively cleaned up, checked for dead domains, categorized, etc. That’s why my main interest is more about the demand: Would curated lists really be a game changer for admins? Would they be more helpful than what’s available today, or are most people already using other alternatives? If so, which ones? And from your perspective, what would be your expectation towards “community lists”? (e.g. reliability, update frequency, categories, fewer false positives?)

    @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.

    @HFADmin If it is no Site2Site-VPN then you don't need any gateways in the first place... If that is true but you want to monitor the connection then you could create dummy-gateways just to ping the remote ip-addresses.

    @simby: Thanks, now it s working. How can i fix snort time problem? Pfsense time is ok! Can you be a bit more descriptive with your problem?  Snort gets time from pfSense, so they should match up.  What exactly do you mean by "fix snort time problem"? Bill

    Check /usr/local/www/shortcuts.inc, and /usr/local/www/shortcuts/pkg_upnp.inc If you have your pkg drop the file in the /usr/local/www/shortcuts/ with the right contents, it should show the icons you configure.

    That would be in the ntop config (not pfSense nor the pfSense GUI for ntop settings…), under its admin menu I believe. ntop can act as a netflow collector so I believe it is possible for it to centrally manage things like that, but that's a better question for an ntop forum or mailing list than here since it would not be specific to pfSense.

    No, when you NAT to 127.0.0.1, that means the NATing device - not the requesting device. At the NAT layer, VLANs do not matter - only IPs are involved at that point. Hope you find a fix for your issue, as I have been unable to reproduce it.

    See - I don't actually know because I've never had to solve the problem. In cases like this I'd normally recommend checking the system tunables to see if its adjustable . If not, I would recommend either a cron job to reboot on a schedule or maybe a cron job to clear the issue as you stated.

    @c0mputerking: computer\king.ca is across town so exteral ip/network  Ok so i need to set notification diffently?? and direct to computerking.ca??  I also would like systems on my LAN to use pfsense as relay to the main computerking.ca mail server is that what this setup is for? Yes, notifications go direct to the mail server for computerking.ca  They're being sent from the firewall so no need for them to pass through postfix. I don't really see the point of sending via postfix to the computerking.ca mail server but, yes, you could use it for that. The most common use for the postfix package is in front of a mail server on the LAN/DMZ to prevent spammers from hitting it.  However, you can use it to apply anti-spam filtering to outgoing mail from LAN PCs and servers.

    @marcelloc: You need first to disable web gui redirect option on system-> advanced. Then try to follow reverse proxy menu options. Disabling the gui redirect helped - thanks. I now have the reverse proxy working, bit I didn't realize that to get the reverse proxy working I had to enable Reverse HTTP mode and bind onto port 80. I thought Reverse HTTP was for creating connections (reversing HTTP roles) not reverse proxying… Marked as solved. Thx

    create group in Squidguard. Proxy filter –>Groups ACL then click add. There you can manipulate users about their access. Just put the IP of certain users at Client (source) field. what i have in my pfsense is a group for admin and group for users.

    @arch113: @asterix: Uninstall.. make sure you un-check the option to save settings. Reboot. Do a clean install and re-configure Snort. That worked…  I hope I dont have to do that too often...... If you upgrade to 2.1-RELEASE of pfSense these kinds of issues very likely will not happen anymore.  The 2.1 code base uses PBI to manage packages.  This is a huge improvement over the TBZ process in 2.0.x.  Under the old system, any update of a package runs the risk of overwriting some critical shared library with a different version than might have been placed there by existing packages.  So in that case something will break. Under the 2.1 code base with PBI, each package gets installed in the equivalent of its own "chroot jail" (not a perfectly accurate analogy, to be sure, but close enough for this discussion  ;D ).  This way each package can have its own private copy of "shared" libraries.  In effect they really are not shared anymore.  This prevents the problem where one package overwrites some critical library used by a different package.

    @fragged: 2.0.3 is the minimum supported version for the current Snort package from what I've gathered from bmeek's posts. Yes, fragged is correct about the pfSense version.  Sorry I did not notice your pfSense version in your original post.  Upgrade to at least 2.0.3, and 2.1-RELEASE is even better. Bill
