    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 ?

    @elvisimprsntr Updated 25.07.1 to 1.90.6_1, copied and pasted from @elvisimprsntr's post: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6_1.pkg (Why it worked this time and not on previous updates: Over the last couple of days, I ran into the "Shared object "libutil.so.10, not found..." error that triggered the version 25.07.1 update issues some of us have been having. After I fixed that error, I decided to go back to the usual update method, and it worked.)

    I agree it is still not stable, honestly does not seem to have really improved, since starting my recent journey into pfsense. I just went through a total fresh install. I am starting to loose faith in a stable product here and it's becoming harder for me to say this is a good stable choice for my employer. As many others have stated why is there no way to roll back packages to a working version? Why is there not more stringent testing going on before pushing to your stable version? There has to be a simple way to get things sorted out here until you have the "updated" version working, or is this a difference between "paid" support and free? Me personally, I am waiting about another week before calling this way to unstable for my taste for such a product, since multiple weeks broken is too long in my opinion, especially for those of us new to pfsense and trying just get a working install of listed features. I feel setting up a personal repo is way over kill to get a functioning system, then "cherry picking" the proper revisions for what packages we want to use, again especially just coming into the product.

    Increasing the buffersize helped to 2097152 bytes (2MB) helped. I can now watch ~1500 entries. @dvserg Limiting the size is very important and a good thing. But I do have so many entries in the "blocked" file that I am not able to watch back more than one day. That's the reason why I would like to increase the buffer a little bit. Perhaps you can find a way to implement an option to modify the buffer size and the lines in the logfile when doing a logrotate. Thanks both of you for your help!

    FYI- If you're on a current snapshot HAVP should be adding its own user again, but it may need other fixes for the config path and such.

    @Cino: I created a small script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d so it starts on boot. Is that part of the standard 2.1 distribution or package now? Because I just upgraded to the lates build, and it turns out vhosts was up without me starting it manually. Unless your change was in the latest build, it would seem that even though the process isn't launched upon package activation, it's lauched upon reboot???

    Have a look at http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,47676.0.html I do small fixes for typos, little code bugs etc via this method. Lately I have found that the Github online editor used through Firefox does not want to edit large files. I resorted to using IE (which brings up has a different, simpler editing interface on Github) and it works for the bigger files. Github have admitted that there is a problem they are trying to track down in their fancy online editor that appears with Firefox. The main pfsense code is in the pfsense repo, filed in directories that match where it is on an install (/etc/inc, /usr/local/www,…) The package code is in the pfsense-packages repo, config folder, with a folder for each package. I am living and working In Nepal, but from Australia. I see how difficult English is - so many exceptions to every rule. It's a pity that much of the world is having to standardise on such a poorly organised language. So, well done to those who have learnt English later in life.

    I cleaned up that and a good deal of other text in HAVP. Might have missed some things, was just looking through the source in the main havp.xml.

    I'm using 2.01 with Snort installed in last few days… Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v. 2.2.1 As I'm new to snort I'm stumbling along really... I've enabled basic rules and emerging threats and ticked all categories and pre-processors... Seeing both of your posts I just rebooted my two firewalls and still see the following in my System Logs: ET SCAN Cisco Torch SNMP Scan [Classification: Attempted Information Leak] [Priority: 2] {UDP} MY_NAGIOS_HOST -> IP:SNMP But I've whitelisted my Nagios box so won't expect to see anything about traffic from it. Is this the only log - it's hard to see what's happening with only system log and snort widget on dashboard.

    Hi, I'm currently using chrome. I tried with Firefox but it's still the same. I've tried with IE too (but it's an old version) and I think it doesn't understand a lot of Javascript. Have I something else to configure before making filters ? Airy
