    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.

    @Draco try to goto the General Tab, first ensure that the Keep Settings option is checked. Then unchecked Enable pfBlockerNG so that its disabled. Hit save. Force Update. Then reenable pfBlockerNG and Force update.

    @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.

    I noticed that it wasn't a good idea…none of the rules would load basically causing snort to do a hard crash. I uninstalled/reinstalled Snort, set the suppress list as suggested and so far so good...thanks!

    Hi Guys I just want to help you guys with the problem you are having and giving you all the solution that worked for me to upload the Blacklist. I was having the same problem when hitting download nothing happened. Even do I setup correclty the URL under "General Settings", "Blacklist Options" chequed enabled and filled in the Backlist URL "http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz". In my case I found out that Internet Explorer 8 is not working. I tried using Google Chrome, same procedure and everything worked just fine. I did not try any other borwser but for me IE 8 did not work. Hope it works for you guys also.

    Yo don't need to create any directory. With the package install squid should be using /var/squid/cache (check squid server settings for cache)
