    @SteveITS I understand, but let's speak from the user/client point of view. Why a client must raise tickets in a bugtracker like Redmine or Jira or whatever? A client expectation is that, if a package is available, to be updated or maintained. If the package is not maintained it will become a security and performance issue with time. I mean I understand, maybe, Netgate doesn't have resources, but then, they can remove it, instead of waiting for something to happen... Just my 2 cents. @bmeeks 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.

    @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.

    @dvserg: The Squid/SquidGuard can not take users/groups from User Manager. Look exists Squid auth methods - squid have self local users list & it is (usernames) also can be used with SquidGuard. Squid - master application, that defined how users will be identified; and, the squidGuard - a slave application, that only receives this usernames for filtering. Nice a straight answer thanks so much!  I will look in to this and I will also be clicking your thanks button! DrClaw

    I tried everything above and still did not solve the problem for me – barnyard2 would not start on reboot. I had to reinstall snort each time. A simple symlink solves the problem though. See my reply in this other thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,65090.msg362664.html#msg362664

    @michel2013: Hi, I was looking for a certain package that can show(prefere html view) status of several static ip address within the network (Access Points) . And it would be great if PfSense can sent a email when one of the configured IP's is down. For example: IP                                Status                              Up or down since 192.168.1.201            up                                    2013-09-09 5:12 AM 192.168.1.202            up                                    2013-09-09 5:12 AM 192.168.1.202            down                                2013-06-05 1:45 PM If this can not be done , is there maybe an easy way to include a PHP page within the PfSense admin environment to implement this functionality? I don't know if this will help you much but if you have a PC with Windows there are 2 tools I find useful in this instance. http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/  <– Great tool to see whats happening now and link to connect to various services and devices. http://www.overlooksoft.com/fing This will do what you want on demand.  It keeps track of all the computers as they appear and lets you know if there offline.  If you have a VPN you can access it right from your smart phone from anywhere. Hope you find these useful. DrClaw

    Not sure this was the right way to fix it but what worked for me was: ln -s /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 /lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 Result: ldd /usr/local/bin/barnyard2 /usr/local/bin/barnyard2:         libmysqlclient.so.18 => /lib/libmysqlclient.so.18 (0x280d8000)         libz.so.5 => /lib/libz.so.5 (0x283e7000)         libpcap.so.7 => /lib/libpcap.so.7 (0x283f9000)         libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x28427000)         libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28441000)         libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x2854a000)         libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x2863e000)         libthr.so.3 => /lib/libthr.so.3 (0x28649000) Both snort and barnyard2 start on reboot. (The symlink persists on reboot, so barnyard2 starts normally.) I don't know how permanent this fix is. I've always had some kind of issue with barnyard2 since pfSense v1.x. I will keep my eye on it, probably with a cron job. Hope this helps. Update: I also had to update the sensor.last_cid value or barnyard2 would die with a fatal error about that table and field, complaining about duplicate values in a unique primary key field? Something like that. At first I tried a value that was 1 greater than the largest value in event.cid but that choked, and barnyard2 died again – same error, just different field value reported as duplicate. What did work was I decided to add 10 to the highest value from event.cid to update sensor.last_cid value. Warning: Your mileage may vary with these hackish fixes.

    Limitation by traffic not supported in proxy. Try to use CaptivePortal & Radius Also, by my oppinion if you have unlimited internet tarif good idea bandwidth limitation per host.

    And there are probably package start/stop scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d [2.1-RC2][root]/usr/local/etc/rc.d(14): ls -l -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1311 Sep 10 07:12 bandwidthd.sh -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  325 Sep  9 09:42 cron.sh The pfSense bootup will be trying to execute each of these to start the corresponding package/daemon. Deleting these will stop that happening. The factory default config will have got rid of the GUI menu entries for any packages. And after doing pkg_delete as suggested by JimP you "should" be back to the base system. But there might be other remnants of some packages - as JimP says, a full wipe/reinstall is the way to be sure.

    It would appear that all is well.  I halted the system waited 30 seconds powered it back on an were a go.  Everything came up.  Guess I will live with it for now.  Hope they fix the problem with it installing the additional package when its not needed. Is there a place I should post this as a bug to let the SG or Squid package makes know? Thanks again for all the help. DrClaw

    I have added checks for this in the code, since people do this/report this quite often. It is easy enough for the code generating the config to not put the same subnet spec into the config twice. https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/pull/482

    another way is check these settings: Bypass proxy for Private Address Space (RFC 1918) destination Disable X-Forward Disable VIA Suppress Squid Version (then restart squid and try it) (basically I think apple is being fussy because squid was tattling on its self.  This should fix that, if its the issue.  Thats just a thought - I've not tested it specifically to see how it effects iPhone)

    Hi, it does not work with eg: google.com on squid GUI. squid GUI only allows IP addresses or aliases. Aliases can be created on pfsense FIREWALL –> Alias So if you want to bypass a website like www.google.com you need to find out the IP addresses or subnets google.com uses. Then you put these IP addreses into an alias and put this alias into squid GUI. I am not 100% sure but you can use google.com in a "Host" alias which then resolvs all IP addresses in the background. This alias can also be place on squid GUI. HINT: google.com does not resolve IP addresses for maps.google.com. So you need to put all domains and subdomains into this alias you need.
