    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.

    If they both installed the exact same version of perl, it wouldn't be removed. You may have installed them at different times so they installed different (conflicting) versions of perl, so it took out one without realizing it was taking out the other. In the future we are working to completely isolate the packages and their dependencies from one another so they can't impact the base system or each other in that way, but it won't be happening for 2.0.

    The blacklists are not likely to work at all on NanoBSD. They are gone because /var is a RAM disk so it will be gone at reboot. The squidGuard package isn't coded to support them in that scenario.

    No. All you know is the IP from the firewall log - at best you can guess the country with something like GeoIP but it's just a guess - you cannot get the URL unless you luck out and find that the IP actually reverse resolves to something meaningful. Many sites are hosted as virtual hosts, so there are 10, 100, 1000 "URLs" on a single IP address. The only way to know the URL is to sniff/proxy the traffic. You cannot get that from the IP. To do reverse DNS on the entire firewall log would take far too long to be practical, even just the part shown in the GUI. There is already a link (a little i) that will take you to Diagnostics > DNS with that IP if you really want to do a reverse lookup.

    There are very hackish ways to hijack ssl but it involves installing a certificate on the client machine, which essentially completely breaks the trust of SSL in such a way to make it useless. (There are also rumors that China/FBI/NSA/CIA/etc have "special" trusted CA certs on sniffer devices that essentially do the same… but I haven't seen any real evidence, though it is a fun theory) If you don't control the clients, you can't transparently proxy ssl. If you do control the clients, you're much better off doing as Nachtfalke suggested and hard coding the proxy information on the clients. Then you don't need to hack anything or install any certificates.

    Thanks for the response. Yes, that is correct, I want the user to be required to authenticate only if they try to go to a restricted site. For example, if a user navigates to http://someSiteThatIsRestricted.com it would prompt for a user name and password. If they are in a group in Active Directory that is allowed to go to that site it will of course let them otherwise they are redirected to a block page that tells them the reason. Thanks for the link. I have looked at that before but how do you do that in pfSense? I'm running a separate install to test with so I want to know how to do it even if it is not as secure and then I can decide whether to use a dedicated proxy instead of using pfsense for that. It is nice to be able to add functionality to pfSense through the packages because that allows for a more secure setup by default and the flexibility to customize it to fit almost any environment.

    Talking to a 2008 r2 box, if it's been configured in a domain with 2008 functionality is a no go for this. You get the warning during the promotion of the server to DC that it will break lots of open source stuff. Also if Squid is in transparent mode it's a no go. So what's your domain functionality set to? Are your users authenticating to Squid and if so what method are you using i.e NTLM How many users are we talking about?

    Steve thanks for the help As you know the squid3 not confirmed! The lock so I could do for l7. About UltraSurf had already read that document but so far the only way I found to be successful in blocking was blocking all networks. 99.224.0.0/11 63.241.6.64/28 63.242.0.0/16 63.240.0.0/15 218.168.0.0/16 125.176.0.0/12 122.118.0.0/16 69.64.144.0/20 211.109.128.0/24 59.120.0.0/14 59.112.0.0/13 97.112.0.0/13 71.192.0.0/12 219.137.112.224/27 203.112.80.0/20 162.138.0.0/16 170.201.0.0/16 156.40.0.0/16 61.224.0.0/14 61.220.0.0/14 59.120.0.0/14 59.112.0.0/13 220.136.0.0/13 220.132.0.0/14 220.130.0.0/15 220.129.0.0/16 118.168.0.0/16 122.120.0.0/13 118.168.0.0/16 122.120.0.0/13 71.208.0.0/12 61.231.0.0/16 218.160.0.0/16 61.62.74.0/24 72.25.64.0/18 66.245.192.0/18 64.62.138.0/25 64.62.128.0/17 125.224.0.0/13 Work but is not an efficient method because tomorrow there may be a new network.

    Lightsquid doesn't block, it just reports. SquidGuard is probably what you want, but it can't filter based on the text in the page, just the text in the URL itself. If you search the forum for SquidGuard you will probably find more useful information.

    @compucoder: I bit the bullet and upgraded to 2.0 RC3 last night. So far it is working perfectly. Every feature I used in Snort before works. The updater works properly now too. I just did the 2.0 upgrade and it is using whichever version of Snort it had before and it all seems to be working fine. So far 2.0 seems like a good route to take. Have you looked at SNORT to see whats running, I have had an issue with SNORT not starting and refuseing to start doing it manually. I have tried reinstalling and uninstalling so far no go. I thing there is a bug with 2.0 RC3 and SNORT, also have had an issue with HAVP anti virus hanging the system. After hours of working with them, I removed both and all issues went away.
