    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.

    @BBcan177 Thank you for the kind reminder; I am so accustomed to ensuring Save Settings is checked that I didn't follow your instructions properly (thanks @tinfoilmatt for uploading and highlighting the screen shot). I've properly followed the instructions and the update did not report and db problems. Thank you again! drac

    @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 found a solution yesterday but yours is simpler and makes sense; While troubleshooting I had dicovered that with the Package and Freshports-update both installed, pfSense was running two services that were clashing on reboot. I can post my solution if anyone’s interested, but the simplest solution is always best. Netgate 6100, pfSense+ 25.07.1 FreeBSD15, Tailscale Package + Tailscale updated to 1.90.6_1.

    @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.

    I am taking a guess that this log is of no use. Meanwhile, I have found 4 items from www.smallnetbuilder.com (Build your own utm with pfsense) that are a  walk through of installing pfSense. I am going to rip down my current installation and start over using their articles as guidance. Please close this thread now. Schucks… the glory of being a newbie... Rgds.

    even better. Thankyou for the extra research. I can confirm that placing my version of the en/ templates into the templates_ex directory does utilise them appropriately instead of the original examples.

    As stated in the docs, you can proxy https and other traffic through squid but you must tell each program about the proxy, because if you tried to transparently proxy https traffic you would get security warnings.

    @jimp: I think that only works for AD, though you can setup WPAD and make people put their browsers on auto detect for proxy settings. Or just tell them "If you want HTTPS, use the proxy, otherwise you're stuck with HTTP" I use WPAD & this is good way - i can redefine proxy settings once for all users.

    @Derek: Yep.  it looks like you should be able to select a category in the drop-down box and then edit the rules from that category, but selecting something new in the drop down box changes nothing. That's not as big an issue for me.  I can still get to the various categories from the other page.  It's the actual rule editing that is messing things up for me.

    Or you can use OpenDNS and not have to use the packages.  Shallalist is ok, but not anything close to comprehensive.

    I think you will need to download the existing config file and manually edit out any instances of bandwidthd , upload the edited config and reboot then install bandwidthd again.

    Hello again! Snort is once again dead… After a reboot, it did not start, so I looked in the system logs and saw this: snort[2015]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_20163_re1/snort.conf(423) Invalid configuration line: /snort_x11.rules May 22 17:01:05 snort[2015]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_20163_re1/snort.conf(423) Invalid configuration line: /snort_x11.rules These rules were activated since I installed Snort.  Last time I posted here, they were activated and Snort was running fine (at least seemed to…)  So why now snort dies?

    I checked my setup last night. Make sure you go to the Preprocessors tab and check all of the check boxes there.  If you don't, Snort won't inspect the http traffic, etc.

    Hi, First off i would like to thank you for helping me, i found it easier to disable the pre-processor ( option 3 ) for port scanning. When Snort was installed it never said to read the manual for help nor as far as i am aware gives any links to read a manual although i could be wrong. I dont think its very polite to start off your post the way you did but i am sure you meant well. You carnt say that to someone (in my case ) that never got the option to read the manual. Finally, with option 3 all i had to do was to uncheck "Enable Portscan Detection" - Detects various types of portscans and portsweeps. ?? That's all i did, saved it and then restarted the snort interfaces

    Hey Jimp, Yeah, I saw those. Apparently you have to set up the config part for County Block each time you upgrade in 2.0. I have corresponded with the guy who wrote it on this forum and I don't think there will be any issues. At least I hope not! I'm glad to hear you think that Country Block would be worse because I'm fairly certain that it will work fine. I can get around Linux and FreeBSD to a degree, but I'm not anywhere close to you guys. So I don't want to dig a hole I can't get out of! Thank you!

    It must be something like that, but not sure why all are not impacted. I have two OpenVPN tunnels from my house in Atlanta to some servers north of the city, each going to a separate LAN interface on that pfSense, might that be the culprit? That network has two subnets for PCI Compliance (Internet facing servers separated from internal stations and not allowed to talk to the internal nodes).
