    @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.

    #1 - Not in the public repositories. Nobody else there is doing Java. #2 - I work for ESF, the parent company behind pfSense, and we are the official source of pfSense support/consulting. We could assist with developing a package as a part of the usual support hours/time. See the link in my sig.

    @jflsakfja: Ding! Ding! Ding! Run from Diagnostics>Command prompt (I've checked the em1 directory, it's correct) $ grep 2000419 /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_7104_em1/rules/snort.rules (no results so nothing found) $ grep 2000419 /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_7104_em1/rules/flowbit-required.rules Category: emerging-policy  GID:1  SID:2000419 alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"ET POLICY PE EXE or DLL Windows file download"; flow:established,to_client; file_data; content:"MZ"; within:2; byte_jump:4,58,relative,little; content:"PE|00 00|"; distance:-64; within:4; flowbits:set,ET.http.binary; reference:url,doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/2000419; classtype:policy-violation; sid:2000419; rev:17;) The rule indeed looks enabled from my point of view Thanks for the quick feedback.  This confirms my suspicion.  I will put in a fix for this in the upcoming package update (pkg. 2.6.0).  In the meantime a Suppress List Entry is a viable work around.

    Anybody? I started playing around with Untangle and finally got it working. I like it, but the block page is proving harder than I thought to customize. They want you to pay for branding, and the blockpage is over-written with each update to Untangle. I also tried moving to Squid 3 and Squid 3 dev for HTTPS filtering, but I couldn't even get the services to start. I didn't play around with it too much because I wasn't liking the idea of using beta software in production anyway, and I took the services not starting as a sign that I should move on to a stable solution.

    Same problem here. We have web server in local network (10.x.x.x) and it uses NAT to get access to internet. Problem is that sending data takes over 180sec and its timed out when it goes thrue pfsense. If I change postfix relayhost to 10.x.x.x network (it does not go thrue pfsense) it works just fine. Client mail log: Aug 19 21:22:55 nginx postfix/smtp[27134]: ABCDEFHTEOT: to=someone@somewhere.com, relay=mail.server.com[xx.xx.xx.xx]:25, delay=37971, delays=37791/0.01/0.07/180, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (conversation with mail.server.com[xx.xx.xx.xx] timed out while sending message body) Mail Server log: Aug 19 21:22:55 mail postfix/smtpd[9514]: timeout after DATA (66017 bytes) from unknown[10.x.x.x] Aug 19 21:22:55 mail postfix/smtpd[9514]: disconnect from unknown[10.x.x.x]/someone@somewhere.com

    Thats all I can think of unless there is something unique about the website that hates squid.  Maybe just bypass the site for squid. BTW - Why is the loopback interface selected to bind too? Why not just the LAN?

    @kejianshi: Like I said, the real problem is that it will be hard for me to know when I have a real problem and when its a dansguardian thing Understood. There are a few situations where DG can cause problems even when properly setup and configured. In order to solve that issue, I implemented a bypass page. I know DG has it's own bypass capability, but I wanted to make sure DG would be completely out of the flow if I chose to bypass it. Here's how it works… When you get blocked, DG presents a web page prompting your for an ID and password. If you enter the correct credentials (currently just check against a text file of user/password), it adds the IP address to a list of "unfiltered" IP's that do not get redirected to DG (via the firewall rules). It then manually force the rules to be reloaded. There is a little cron job that removes the IP from the list 15 minutes later.

    @jimp: You cannot. What you're trying to do is just not possible with pfSense. Hi jimp, Thx for your replies.Having a network of pcs and a router on the same network please advice me which is the best configuration so as pfsense to be used.I don't need to set it up as a firewall nor as something else. All I need is to install a pfsense appliance between my network and the router so as to have a transparent web filtering without the need of ip changes on my network. Why wan port has to be on different ip rage than nat's ? If it is impossible please advice for the best alternative solution thx in advance what I'd like :  ROUTER=========PFSENSE/WEBFILTERING============PC                       192.168.1.1/24========transparent ================.X/24

    Looks like the pfBlocker widget uses the description for matching packet stats,, if the rule does not contain the aliasname matching packets will not add to the widget counters.

    I thought about that, however PFSense is sitting between my modem and router as a firewall and does not handle DHCP \ Traffic Shaping. I chose this because the router I am using has a really good QoS and I love the gui that shows real time usage. I am going to table this for now. Getting ready to leave town for a while and there is no reason to worry about it until I can get at least one more WAN connection to handle the traffic anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Hi, I run version 2.0.3. Package list doesn't show me "squid3-squidguard" but only "squidGuard". Search engine on the whole forum for keyword "squid3-squidguard" brings me only this thread. Is their a second repository to configure ? Or should I move to 2.1-RC release ? Thanks for the support  ;). Phil

    @rjcrowder: Would you (or anyone for that matter) be able to give me a quick overview? Or point me in the best place to look to get started? so… it looks to me like the problem must be in the install of the clamav package (see /var/db/pkg/clamav-0.97.6). Likewise, I'd conjecture that the problem is based on something that is done via the "+CONTENTS" file... Can anyone give me a clue how this is used / interpreted during the install process?
