    @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.

    Well, a quick hack is done in a few minutes but of course I would prefer a real integration. The only problem I see is that it might need regular updates because as far as I can say the linux/netbsd scanners of the different third party av scanners look like changing a lot. Due to the licence problem it might also need the users to install it using the ssh console. Not perfect but… I wouldn't mind as long as it works once the installation is done.

    I'm not sure if squid3 with dynamic contents enabled can handle this. An option to test may be a varnish daemon configured as proxy in front of squid cache. http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=4962

    @marcelloc: It's not a bug, you need to: empty/disable your lists Increase Firewall Maximum Table Entries on system -> advanced -> firewall/nat re enable pfblocker lists Yep, there it was.. config defaulted to 200K and I didn't even notice it. There is a bug, though. After deleting lists, the table isn't being updated correctly. Reproducing is pretty easy, but iffy - add 5 lists, delete the 3rd. Aliases update correctly, but file table does not - instead it acts as though list 5 was deleted instead of list 3. Only happens sometimes though.

    @lovin_it: Is there any way to use pfSense with postfix with my config? I am a little bit confused because I have found no thread concerning my problems with the POP3-matter… This package has no pop3 fetch integration and will not work with your full custom config. You can merge your config using custom options. To use postfix on you system without the gui, follow these steps: Remove postfix package On console/ssh, install postfix binaries using pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/postfix-2.8.7%2c1.tbz(amd64 version) Install filer package and open it`s gui (diagnostics -> filer) add postfix startup script to filer config(it will load current file) Edit default startup status from NO to YES and save file create your postfix config file and select startup script to run after file changes Not easy but not impossible too  :)

    @alexand3r: I've unzipp the tar.gz but now I do not know how I can install it on the pfsense, the command install or make install doesn't seem to work and after several searches over the web I couldn't find a way to do this. It is on freebsd ports, you do not need to compile it http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=Csync2&stype=all get the tbz package from freebsd archive: i386 http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/All/ amd64 http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/8.1-RELEASE/packages/All/

    mohandshamada, I think you need a rule before this http deny rule allowing access to lan_address at http port. If users can't access wpad file they can't get access to proxy. att, Marcello Coutinho

    Some NAS do a "fake" MAC-Auth. They put the mac address of the host as username and password. If that's the fac then you need to add this "user" in freeradius -> users

    I'm still working on figuring this out.  It seems like squidGuard won't block frames properly.  Adblock seems to remove frames and shift the content whereas squidGuard creates the frame but makes it blank. I'm loading easylist in to squidGuard using the following method: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=19756.0 Can someone tell me if the following Facebook entries in the expressions file are correct? –--------------------- ||facebook.com/whitepages/wpminiprofile.php?partner_id= facebook.com###fbPhotoSnowliftAdsSide facebook.com###home_sponsor_nile facebook.com##.ego_spo facebook.com##.fbEmu facebook.com##.fbEmuBlock facebook.com##.fbEmuEgo facebook.com##.fbEmuEgoUnit facebook.com##.fbEmuLink facebook.com##.fbPhotoAdsCol facebook.com##.fbPhotoSnowboxAds facebook.com##.fbTimelineSideAds facebook.com##a[ajaxify^="/ajax/emu/end.php?"] facebook.com##a[href^="/ajax/emu/end.php?"] –--------------------- I'm wondering if the conversion filter (regex.sed) is working properly ("cat easylist.txt | sed -f regex.sed > expressions").    My regex.sed file is as follows: /@@./d; /^!./d; /^[.]$/d; s#http://##g; s,[.?=&/|],\&,g; s##.#g; s,$.$,,g; –---------------------

    @cmb: USB flash has the same write limits as CF. Agreed, however if the USB flash drive exceeds the max. number of writes that it can handle, it will crash and burn without crashing the entire firewall in the process. At worst it would stop showing up as a drive, and pfSense could fall back to using the flash RAM to store the files. In theory, that is. :-) @cmb: The only option would be to add an external hard drive for such storage, which is difficult and not supported for a variety of reasons, primarily because the partitions can't easily be split up in the fashion that would be required. Hmm.. I'm interested in the background on why external drives aren't supported, but I have a feeling that goes outside the scope of this post. If you're so inclined, PM me with the details. If not, I certainly understand. For the sake of argument, let's forget about external storage entirely. What about network-based storage? For instance, what if I could hypothetically mount a NFS or SMB share from pfSense to a NAS device, like FreeNAS? In that scenario the amount of storage would be virtually limitless since squidguard/squid log files are not large in the grand scheme of file storage. As you can see, the gears in my head are turning. These devices are incredibly useful. pfSense is incredibly useful. If there's any way to overcome the finer points of using the appliance instead of a PC, I'm all about it. Thanks (as always) in advance!
