    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.

    I am also interested in sample setups. I hope someone who has got this working can explain the settings in his setup. I was surprised by this package for it's rich web gui so i guess full configuration can be done in the gui. regards, Leon.

    Ok, the way is to change /usr/local/pkg/snort/snort.inc file. But now I'm looking toward suppress rules.

    This actually works in my favor. I want to give certain managers access to the lightsquid logs, but I don't want them to be able to get into the firewall configuration and doink with it, and there doesn't seem to be access groups for squid or lightsquid, so I can't just set them up with a username and limit their access to only lightsquid. So instead they have no username at all, and they can get to lightsquid, but not to anything else. So it's an unintended benefit from my perspective.

    I am using SquidGuard and blocking certain extension downloads as described in http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/SquidGuard_package. The extensions are blocked an the appropriate message returned but the URL looks as follows: https://192.168.10.1/sgerror.php?url=403%20&a=192.168.10.20&n=&i=&s=default&t=myBlockExt&u=http://media.music.net/18/SID18402.mp3 Instead of the IP I would like my server's FQDN to appear.
