    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.

    @GPz1100 I ran into this same exact issue. I don't have the Prefer IPv4 over IPv6 box checked, but I do have IPv6 enabled. I think the real issue is that Let's Encrypt's server seems to respond with "Recv failure: Connection reset by peer" on almost every request when using IPv6. I tested this by using the command curl -v https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory from pfsense's shell. To work around it, I modified the ACME script as you described. In the file /usr/local/pkg/acme/acme.sh, I updated line 1887 from: _ACME_CURL="curl --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " to: _ACME_CURL="curl -4 --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " After forcing curl to use IPv4, both certificate registration and renewal from the acme package started working again without issue.

    @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.

    Not sure how to do this with acls, but you can copy squid.conf file and run a second daemon on other port. Or install a virtual machine with squid for vlan 5.

    Does anyone have any idea about this?  This seems to be an important concept of Snort that I'd like to learn.  Once again, for all enabled rules, some only alert, while other alert and block.  What determines blocking?

    Because relayd does not support udp in general, but does support DNS. From the relayd.conf man page: The protocol directive is available for a number of different application     layer protocols.  There is no generic handler for UDP-based protocols     because it is a stateless datagram-based protocol which has to look into     the application layer protocol to find any possible state information. And then: dns protocol             (UDP) Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.  The requested IDs in             the DNS header will be used to match the state.  relayd(8)             replaces these IDs with random values to compensate for             predictable values generated by some hosts. http protocol             Handle the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP, or "HTTPS" if             encapsulated in an SSL tunnel). [tcp] protocol             Generic handler for TCP-based protocols.  This is the default.

    Hi Marcelloc, Thanks for your answer, but I did exactly that. I have serveral other suppressions and they work properly; they don't show up in the alert list and they don't get blocked… With this one they don't show up in the alert list, but they get blocked(?)

    I too have the same problem. Isn't it possible to allways block the destination ip on one interface? So I can block destination ip-s on my LAN and source ip-s on the WAN interface…

    Squidguard has a gui option for it. Without squidguard, include file extension/mime types custom acls in squid gui. To find an acl that exclude some file types, just Google for squid +acl +file + extension

    Ok that seems to have fixed it, now it listens on both lan and loop when both selected in the gui Thanks! But I did not see it download the actual package .tbz file – guess I could completely uninstall it and then check with pkg_info to see if unbound its gets removed and if it then download loads it. But since it working and on current version I think will leave it until 1.4.15 comes out to test ;) Thanks again for the fix! But kind of curious still about the out of sync other packages. So 1.4.14 says it needs expat-2.0.1_2, but have _1 installed -- can I force removal and then install _2 -- but could that break git, cuz I use that like once a week when new changes come out.
