    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.)

    @tinfoilmatt Thanks! I have done that and it worked when forcing just her TV out the Centurylink.. My problem is my local box here. Im missing something because I can not get it to pass traffic from the WAN to the Wireguard tunnel. Ive got some time today so will chip away on my lab setup to see if I can finally accomplish it here first.

    Thanks for the suggestion of looking in the system log.  After attempting start of snort (failure) and reading the log I disable some rules, retry, disable more rules, retry, etc snort starts successfully.  Each rule that was causing an error I disabled and now it's working. Thanks. AWS

    @crazyzoar: why people give ram space for caching? The answer is Performance. Also squid is not that fast and not that smart for dynamic sites. Ohter point is that cache age has not much sense after 15 days for example.

    Might have been too quick uninstalling it, I didn't tune at all, might have enabled too many patterns as well. Not required for my environment anyway, so couldn't be bothered ;D

    After creating a whitelist, you have to add it in the Snort Interface Settings to a particular interface.

    @SeventhSon: This is snort starting up and telling you what it loading and not loading. By default a lot of rules are disabled, so you will get a lot of these. Thanks, I kinda figured this after posting my question. But good to have conformation :)

    @Modivion: Dear Members, I've installed squid and configured it. I just need one more thing to configure, which I dont know how to do. When users typ in http://remote.xxxx.com I want them to be redirected to https://remote.xxxx.com/OWA Any tips how to configure this? Many thanks! I did it outside of pfS via my DNS manager from my domain manager (like GoDaddy).  Basically it's subdomain forwarding, takes about 5 minutes if you can find your login creds to your domain manager web site.  I had a hard time trying to make it all within pfS.

    @lpallard: The frustrating part is that pfsense with NO packages works PERFECTLY.  So I wont blame pfsense devs because I have used it for more than  a year now and it was flawless until I installed the snort/squid/squidguard/havp  >:( stuff.. Just like I said, packages are contributions, some are maintained by core team, but not all. Uncheck block ofenders from snort, so it will not block false positives and not deny your dns resolution.

    my pfsense box has 2 nics. 1 nic dedicated to management… 1 nic connected to the mirrored port on the cisco switch. I figured that by doing it that way i wouldn't get any "pollution" from management traffic on the IDS interface.
