    Hello team, I have a Netgate 8200 running 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) with Suricata 7.0.8_5 package installed. Suricata doesn't seem to start. It loops to red once I press the Play button on the interface. It leaves no logs in the System logs, it leaves no logs in suricata.log at /var/log/suricata/suricata_ovpns933787/suricata.log I tried launching it manually: # /usr/local/bin/suricata -V or # /usr/local/bin/suricata -c /usr/local/etc/suricata/suricata_33787_ovpns9/suricata.yaml -i suricata_ovpns933787 and I get this output ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/suricata: Undefined symbol "__strlcpy_chk@FBSD_1.8" Thanks in advance, Dara

    @kabeda If memory serves, that old version of ntopng did not run as user ntopng, but as user nobody. There are lots of problems in that old version. Anyway, check the ownership and permissions of /var/db/ntopng and make sure it matches the user that ntopng runs as. You may need to set ownership of the entire hierarchy. Example: /usr/sbin/chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/ntopng However, the better choice would be to upgrade to a more recent version.

    @vicking said in No blocks on IP: Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only? Question is squarely for admin. Per the infoblock which explains, in part, the "Deny Inbound", "Deny Outbound", and "Deny Both" actions: 'Deny' Rules: 'Deny' rules create high priority 'block' or 'reject' rules on the stated interfaces. They don't change the 'pass' rules on other interfaces. Typical uses of 'Deny' rules are: Deny Both - blocks all traffic in both directions, if the source or destination IP is in the block list Deny Inbound/Deny Outbound - blocks all traffic in one direction unless it is part of a session started by traffic sent in the other direction. Does not affect traffic in the other direction. One way 'Deny' rules can be used to selectively block unsolicited incoming (new session) packets in one direction, while still allowing deliberate outgoing sessions to be created in the other direction. In other words: When set to "Deny Inbound", incoming connection requests from WAN hosts are blocked and therefore no state will be created. However a LAN host can still establish state to an otherwise listed IP. If set to "Deny Outbound", outgoing connection requests from LAN hosts are blocked and therefore no state will be created. However an incoming connection request from an otherwise listed IP to an 'open' WAN port can still establish state. If set to "Deny Both", both incoming connection requests and outbound connections requests are blocked and therefore no state will be created regardless of connection direction.

    I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    @andresbraga if you still have the firewall rules as you posted, then I don't know why from the laptop you can't ping the pfSense Wireguard address 10.10.6.1 nor the pfSense gateway 10.10.1.1 What is the routing table of the laptop. And I would run a packet capture on pfSense and check what you see if you run the ping to 10.10.1.1 or 10.10.6.1.

    @periko: I had read a lot of docs but, is working, but is not counting the time right. Someone here has this setting working? Thanks!!! You could try running freeradius in debug mode from console with "radiusd -X" and then pay attention on the accounting packets. The CP must send the time attribute to the RADIUS server and it must be sent for the correct user. CP is sending accounting packets every minute so the time must only increase by 60 seconds. Perhaps you can try with pfsense 2.1 an compare if CP is working better with the newer code.

    If squid is running in transparent mode and the website is httpS then you cannot block it. If it is httpS you have to run squid in non-transparent mode. SquidGuard can only block what squid is seeing. To make sure your config works in general just block a simple webpage with http and test.

    You can see what IP's have talked to what IP's, but if you want more detail than that your best option is to setup squid as a transparent proxy, and then use LightSquid and/or SARG which will geerate some pretty detailed reports of what computers/IP's have accessed what web sites, and will give exact URL's and whatnot.

    Thanks for the info igor I had figured by upgrading (which deinstalls) this would do the same. Tried uninstalling, rebooting, and then installing again and so far my interface has remained up! :) I will keep in an eye on it over the next while but looks like that did solve it. Cheers!

    You can add all the options you need by hand using the "custom options" box. So if you need just a part of an option the GUI offers then enable it on the GUI, check the "squid.conf" file for the syntax you need and then go to GUI again, disable it there and add the part you need by hand in the "custom options" box. The GUI ist just a helper :-)

    The WhiteList don't works for me too. Neither with networks or single IP adress. I'm using PFSense 2.0.1 with Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v.2.5.1. After some days searching for solution I found a workaround that worked for me. Add in Suppress List the networks in CIDR notation like that (example with 3 networks in supress list working as WhiteList): suppress gen_id 0, sig_id 0, track by_src, ip [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/29,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/28,zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz/28]

    Thanks, and sorry about originally posting in the wrong area. Can you explain a little more or point me in the direction of where to look?  Is there any possibility of modifying the action to redirect the user to a remediation page or drop only the P2P traffic?  If we wanted to pay for support hours to cover the cost of developing this feature, how many hours would you estimate?
