    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.

    @agitelzon I have no issue connecting to LE servers from pf shell. The issue is cloudflare security setting is configured as a whitelist for api zone record changes. The whitelist includes my ipv4 address only, as a /32. As I mentioned, I could add the ipv6 prefix as a /64. Given that pf is configured to prefer ipv4, I thought that would carry over to acme as well.

    @lbm_ I have the same problem: pfSense v25.07.1 on FreeBSD 15-Current, Netgate 6100. Could you let me know if you found a solution? I haven't. I have been updating Tailscales from Freshports while keeping the Tailscale Package installed. I have recently read that this can cause problems with routes, interfaces, firewall rules, and others. I am leaning towards deleting the Tailscale package.

    @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.

    Under your Proxy Server>Cache Management>Hard Disk Cache System, try selecting null. null Does not use any storage. Ideal for Embedded/NanoBSD.

    I installed freeRADIUS on i386 and amd64 and I did not have such problems. Perhaps a "Clear package lock", complete deinstallation of freeradius und clearing the config.xml from freeRADIUS entries and the a new installation of freeRADIUS solves the problem.

    You can see VRT changes here http://blog.snort.org/, here http://www.snort.org/snort-rules/#rules or here http://www.snort.org/vrt/advisories.xml/ You can see emergingthreats (open & pro) changes here http://www.emergingthreatspro.com/blog/ I am not sure about automating it to actually put it on your pfsense. Most sure way may be just to run pulledpork and sftp them over and restart. At least with pulledpork with enable and disable you can disable CVEs (i..e just disable all CVEs before a certain year if you wanted), rulesets etc. So once you go through the rules you can easily run it. It does output only 1 file for each (normal snort rules and shared object rule file) which I can see as being both good but i find it annoying and a  little less refined, especially in tuning as you could just cat an individual rule file or open it and see what is enabled/disabled (presence or lack of # to comment it out) and then make the adjustment where needed in pulledpork. Hopefully maintainer of the package will work on the updating so it remembers your changes either from GUI or provides you access to config file for disable, enable rules.

    Go to "Target categories" and enter all sites you want to allow/whitelist. Than go to "Group ACL" and "Common ACL" and chose "allow" or "whitelist" for this target categorie. Than "General Settings" and "Save" and "apply". PS: If an URL is in different categories and one categorie is "block" and another is "allow" than the URL will be blocked. "Block" is stronmger than "allow". To solve this problem chose "whitelist". If an URL is one times "blocked" and another time "whitelisted" than "whitelist" ist stronger.

    The problem isn't squid, it's HAVP. from: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=34199.0 Use the pfsense edit file tool under diagnostics and open this file:  /usr/local/pkg/havp.inc search for the following line: "$conf[] = "DetectBrokenExecutables   yes"; Change to: "$conf[] = "DetectBrokenExecutables   no"; save and restart HAVP.

    You can specify which interfaces Unbound can use to do outbound queries, so if you select both the WAN interfaces then queries will be balanced across the two interfaces. However if once interface goes down then you will get delays. So you can try this what Ermal mentioned in this forum post http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31125.msg167503.html and see if that works for you. Would be interested to know as i can then update the doc site.

    @marcelloc: The location of this file in pfsense is /var/db/postfix/postscreen_cache.db Postscreen readme says that it's a temporary white list, not persistent. I pulled what I posted from the README. So, the temporary white like might be persistent if set and will be cleared if not set? Documentation seems to not be clear on that. It might be temporary as in the age thing will remove entries. I cannot test this ATM … but should be something the maintainers of postscreen could clear up.

    I have the same problem. It seems to be working perfectly and without any errors, test virus sites are detected and blocked and all functions appear to work. I set it up in transparent mode and have not tried the other proxy modes. After a number of hours it completely kills my internet connection. Stopping havp and the proxy and clearing states not fix the problem. I have to reboot my pfsense and my router. Any one has any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Package list: pfblocker snort havp vnstat I tried disabling and removing snort and pfblocker but the problem still occurred.

    Made it more useful and submitted it http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2008 tcpdump format was problematic and doesnt add much but not having to run snort to interpret the dump would be nice. Cant get snort to dump only alert packets in binary (tcpdump) format. It wants to dump the whole world or not at all. Not sure how to make optional on alert type beyond hard coding a list or adding a checkbox to every rule or category.

    Why the hell is OpenDNS blocking Snort.org of all places? Does this mean "all their clients" networks are not able to reach the SNORT.org VRT updates?
