    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.

    No, but i have done a new install, upgrade to Aug 2 firmware and now everything is ok. It seems to be related some way to my old config backup. Thank you.

    @wagonza: To allow access from the internet, create an ACL with 2 networks: 0.0.0.0/1 128.0.0.0/1 Remember to allow DNS queries to your WAN port on your firewall if you have removed that fw rule you setup previously. Thanks. it's now working:)

    I am not using the blacklist files BUT: if you only want to block http (port 80) then it is enough to use squid in transparent mode. if you like to block https (port 443) then you have to run squid in non-transparent mode. In this mode you have to enter the proxy server address in the clients browse.

    Hi, I am not sure, if the apps are always hitting the same IP or if they do a failover if one IP isn't available. But perhaps there is only the problem with one authentication server which is used for the first start of the app and after this the app is able to work with a proxy. For example microsoft.com is using many subnets of IPs so I could allow the hole subnet. To find out the IPs I checked the firewall after the apps tried to connect to the internet and then I tried to find out who is the owner of this IP/domain and which subnet belongs to this domain. Not sure if there is an other way to find out all IPs. Perhaps you can write a script which is doing a dns lookup for a domain some hours and which copies all the IPs to an excel sheet. Then you can delete all double entries and use the rest for the Alias/pfsense. If someone has got a better idea it would be great to hear it!

    You may have to edit the squid config manually to stop regular caching. As for caching specific sites I would read Squid Package Tuning. Good luck. Post your results as others may wish to do the same :)

    A package DEV will need to test the package on BETA 2.0 before coping the package to the BETA 2.0 Repo. If you would like the package now you should be able to copy the 1.2.3 package files to the same location on your BETA 2.0 install.
