    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.

    @marcelloc: if it is squid, take a look at cache.log for detailed error message That's where it was taken from.

    danesco, I know it's not the best answer you want to see but did you try to write it in php? If you use xmlrpc or just a php to change config file it will work and php is native in pfsense. att, Marcello Coutinho

    Last time we looked at this (when a support customer asked) it looked like all of the youtube content, whether it was hosted or not, came from the same CDN. So there was no way to block videos from youtube but allow certain embedded videos.

    You didn't give nearly enough information to even guess at what help. Are you on 1.2.3? 2.0? i386? amd64? What version of ntop is running? Also just because it's unsupported by ntop does not mean it doesn't function correctly and do what needs to be done.

    If you use squidguard or some of squid's access control/limiting features, then it's definitely normal. It is very common to run squid with no caching (use the null cache option mentioned by Tikimotel) especially on ALIX if you just want to use squidguard for controlling web access.

    Have you tried searching the forum? There have been any number of threads on this, including this one. The standard for telling clients what proxy to use is called WPAD. It is trivial to set up and just about all modern browsers support it.

    After rebuilding my pfSense system I tried reinstalling Country Block; it says the service is running, but I can get to websites hosted in Taiwan and Korea, so it doesn't seem to really be working.  I guess I'll wait for the next version.

    No, there isn't anything like that. You could look at running something like openvpn-als/adito on an internal box but AFAIK there isn't a good solid open source browser-based SSL VPN that is feasible to install on pfSense.

    @iFloris: I have the snort widget installed, but it's not showing any alerts. That is probably due to the fact that Snort recently got rewritten a lot, and I imagine that the snort widget is now looking for messages in the wrong place. Its looking in the correct place. I just think its not the correct format.
