    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @Gertjan Thanks for your reply – that’s also my impression. The point is: I don’t really see any lists right now that are actually “maintained” in the sense of being actively cleaned up, checked for dead domains, categorized, etc. That’s why my main interest is more about the demand: Would curated lists really be a game changer for admins? Would they be more helpful than what’s available today, or are most people already using other alternatives? If so, which ones? And from your perspective, what would be your expectation towards “community lists”? (e.g. reliability, update frequency, categories, fewer false positives?)

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    @HFADmin If it is no Site2Site-VPN then you don't need any gateways in the first place... If that is true but you want to monitor the connection then you could create dummy-gateways just to ping the remote ip-addresses.

    @gertjan Well, this forum post indicates that it is possible to install packages while offline. I think 'pkg add' will do the trick after uploading the package to the pfSense system. But thanks for clarifying for me about the fingerprints.

    @gertjan I just wish they used more of the SSD for items, it is alot faster over a hard drive of the past. Use that SSD for items that are not part of non stop scanning. Remember upper and lower memory blocks back with MS-DOS 3.11 in the 90s with a 14mhz 8088 processor? It seems to me the resources that are available like that huge SSD are not being used as much as they could. I do understand the need for speed with the packet processing. However I can't stop wondering what could be put on that drive and not be constantly ready in NVRAM.

    @nazuro said in MDNS struggles: @bmeeks Thank you so much - that seems to have solved the issue! And thanks to John as well Glad that helped you. What really happens is when Suricata stops and then restarts, it makes a call to the netmap device code to first "close" the open netmap interface (when stopping); and then it makes a call to "open" the netmap interface (when starting). The netmap kernel device performs a literal "down" and then "up" cycle as it switches the interface from and to netmap-mode (netmap-mode unhooks the interface from its normal kernel connections). You can see this in your log snippet: Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.11: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.12: link state changed to DOWN Oct 13 00:30:47 pfSense kernel: igb1.14: link state changed to DOWN followed later by: Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.11: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.12: link state changed to UP Oct 13 00:30:49 pfSense kernel: igb1.14: link state changed to UP Using the "Live Update" mode for rules updates means Suricata never actually stops and restarts. It keeps running during the update cycle and does the in-memory rules duplication/update thing I described earlier. Since it never restarts, it does not call the netmap code to close and then open the interface.

    @cubeyglyph For what it is worth I realized my error. I configured the listen port on the firewall the same for both peers, I did not realize that each peer needed a unique port to listen on, I thought it would still route properly. Once I changed the peer listen port to tow unique values both peers came up just fine.

    If you have a Netgate appliance (SG-1100, SG-3100, etc.), try a power off restart. The crypto hardware in certain Netgate appliances can wind up in an indeterminate state after an upgrade. This leads to crypto failures (so problems with decrypting/encrypting things for authentication and such). A simple restart does not fix the problem. You must do a power off/power on sequence to reset the crypto chip. So try going to the DIAGNOSTICS menu in pfSense and choose HALT. When the system fully stops (or shutdowns on its own), then you can remove the power plug for a few seconds, reinsert it, and power up the box. See if that helps. WARNING! Make sure your box has actually gone into halt mode before pulling the power!

    @flashpan You shouldn't need to actually get it to power down, you just want to make sure that it reacts to the events from the UPS. So unplug for 15-20 secs then plug back in should be enough to see if it gets "lost power and power returned". Then just tweak the apcupsd config on pfsense for probably "min time left" or "min battery charge" for the shutdown. Just keep in mind that the Windows server is actually controlling the UPS and you have it configured to "shutdown systems and UPS after being on battery for 10 minutes", so you'll need to figure out how to tell apcupsd on pfSense "shutdown after being on battery for 5 minutes". Nice to see that at least you are able to get status. That is 90% of it.
