    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.

    @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.

    Sorry, I meant "Target Category" and I figured out the wildcard I made a Time rule for the business hours and a target category with an expression like so: [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz] Then I created a Group ACL using this target category. It did in fact work, in that it did block all websites, but I still ran into the same problem where I couldn't use multiple Group ACL's for a single subnet. I think thats what im NOT understanding. I cant do multiple filters for a single subnet which I think is what you may have been trying to tell me long ago. I finally gave up and just created one Group ACL that allows acceptable web content during "ontime" and denys everything on the off time. I will just have to deal with the single error message (ie users wont know if their request was denied because it was after hours, or because it was inappropriate) I GIVE UP PFSENSE…  :P

    I'm working on this package(gui is almost done), but for now the core team did not finished compiling it to pfsense(they are currently working hard on 2.1 package structure). To manually add these packages, you must specify 8.2-release or 8-stable packages folder as freebsd 8.1-release is no longer available. Just try this on lab first, I'm not sure if some 8.2 mailscanner package or dependencie will break pfsense 2.0. MODIFY prefix for 8.1-relase packages: http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/Latest/

    It was running out swap space. I guess that the two instances were just too much for it.

    @jedblack: I had the same problem, not sure whey – but creating a 'havp' user and group under the "user manager" gui section is a temp workaround. did it stay after a reboot. i fix it and when i upgrade or if the hydro goes out  and reboot i have to manually fix it.

    Can you increase vm RAM and/or set cache to Disk? I think the problem could be low mem.

    Allow - pass, if not deny in other categories. Whitelist - pass always. Whitelist can be use for allow some categories, blocked in blacklist. You can't edit blaacklist, but can use whitelist.

    Thanks for the reply, I guessing that would have fixed it since it was bound to port 80 - and that old install XML entry i'm sure was fubar'ing things up… I got so fed up in the end that i just rebuilt the entire instance, everything went in smooth ... Thanks for the help for future reference.

    If your switch supports vlans, assing a vlan for wan and use only one interface. Your problem should be your USB network device. EDIT: Take a look at this link for some hints http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Multi-WAN_using_VLANs_with_pfSense

    Hmm, strange thing, but I can confirm that after fill up port authentication started to work :) I am pretty sure that in earlier verions it was not nessesery to fill up the port field and it works fine.
