    @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.

    @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.

    @gregober: In Squid, I think It is possible to use this configuration directive : access_log syslog:local:4 or access_log syslog:LOG_LOCAL4 This parameter has to be included in the configuration file… I personally verified that it was perfectly feasible to include this configuration directive in the "Custom Options" field of the Services > Proxy server configuration page of PfSense. Thanks to to that the settings survives a reboot. Once this is done, the messages are sent to a distant server provided you configured pfsense to do so (Status > System Logs > Settings)

    The system log says: ... snort[3342]: WARNING: No dynamic libraries found in directory /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules. ... Currently it looks as if this is the reason why snort does not want to work properly. Obviously, reinstallation did not work. After disabling the snort.org *.so rules and enabling the more or less corresponding emergingthreads.net rules, the system works as expected and offenders are blocked again. Does anybody know where the content from dynamicrules is supposed to come from? The packages from files.pfsense.org seem to contain only an example module.

    tftpd just runs through inetd. That should get restarted if you edit/save under System > Advanced. Or kill/restart inetd by hand

    @dataking: Is there a "standard" out there for building a package and how to do it? this is the starting guide: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Developing_Packages basically you build xml files to use pfsense framework and call a php script (package_name.inc) file to check options selected on gui and apply to package conf. The package build options and location can be found on github. https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages This post from Jimp is also usefull HEADS UP: Package Maintainers - ACTION REQUIRED - Packages Cleanup / PBI Prep

    Thanks for the reply, I will have to look into the DNS solution. I am using the DNS forwarder to automatically use the DNS from my ISP. I have set the DNS in the proxy as well. I still get a proxy error when I type in Google instead of google.com Error… The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: http://google/ The following error was encountered: Unable to determine IP address from host name for google The dnsserver returned: Name Error: The domain name does not exist. This means that: The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. Check if the address is correct. Your cache administrator is … End Error It is not that big of a deal but it would be nice if it just sent the request to Google on a bad spelling or out of date url. Oddly when I type in "Google website" it pulls up Google in a search.

    @cjbujold: no I have not set  the pfsense gui port to anything else but what is the default  port 80 & 443 So, change it and disable automatic redirect rule on system advanced @cjbujold: What does the ^http://www.mydomain.com/.$  format provide more than the HTTP://accrahelpdesk.accra.ca ?  Should I use it  like this ^http://accrahelpdesk.accra.ca/.$  instead of the straight URL? You can use any combination, my suggestion is: ^http://accrahelpdesk.accra.ca/ or just accrahelpdesk.accra.ca @cjbujold: Nothing is showing in the Real time tab (log) I am presuming nothing is getting caught since I am not being redirected. Did you enabled squid logs on proxy server config?

    The args are just to limit lines to read, in some cases(large files) it fixes sarg erros while report generation.

    Thanks for the explanation.  I too have encountered this issue.  The GREP and PKILL commands seem to work in the short term.  Is there a more automated method to accomplish this task? Makes me wish I had never updated snort in the first place.  Snort has become a mess over the past 30 days.  Is there any resolution to this multiple snort instance issue in sight?

    These would need to go in Proxy Server:General Settings, Custom Options. But my question is, these are options that control how Squid itself caches 403, 404 messages and DNS results that worked or failed recently. But we want to try and convince the browser on the user's computer not to cache this stuff. So how would that work?

    Hi Marcello, thnx for the answer. Yeah, all the sync proccess was perfect, the real problem was that squid can´t be restarted after the configuration change (the backup machina had all the info from the main but you get an error while trying to save the config). Changing the line 1078 makes the trick and now everything go as planned. Thnx again.

    I have not noticed any problem with rule timings, I used this feature regularly with 2.0 and have just started testing on 2.0.1 However, I did find that an ip address will be ignored if used as an expression in a Target Category, so that´s why my regex didn't work. Need to do some more reading…
