    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.

    For some reason post install code did not work on your installation. Reinstall or do this in the command line. /usr/sbin/pw groupadd snort -g 920 and /usr/sbin/pw useradd snort -u 920 -c "Snort User" -d /nonexistent -g snort -s /sbin/nologin James

    Darn! The adding of a honking ( 24gig ) swap file did not solve the problem. I am up and running with sparse bands as a memory model. What are the possible causes of the failure to compile the port groups? Pretty sure it is memory related ( at 1% CPU, 85% of Main memory, 12% of 4gig Swap ).

    @Xthink: Can I manually edit squid.conf or squidguard.conf? Will an update on the gui erase the manual setting? Possible Yes. If you Save Gui changes or reboot you pfSense.

    I don't know about 2.0, but I use Bandwidthd on a bridged install with 1.2.3.  I have it attached to the WAN which is where the IP address is for the bridge.  Not sure if anything changed that would affect it in 2.0, but it works in 1.2.3 in case you haven't tried that. Regards, Ron

    i can understand, not good at all for a production env if you do get the opportunity, try another way… that is to remove all havp packages and clam packages from ssh and then install from ssh (correct version) as per this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,23620.0.html

    @jimp: It would also help to see the output of this when it is in the broken state: var_dump($config['installedpackages']['package']); Run that in the PHP Execute section of Diagnostics > Command. Sorry for the long delay. It's been a little while since I've had to deploy another system and I haven't had the time to troubleshoot this on its own. I did another one today, and the output of the above command was NULL. Notes doesn't work this time either, none of the packages do. Installed packages in the GUI shows nothing, but I do still have entries in the services menu that don't work, so I will have to reinstall al packages manually again. I appreciate your help on this, Jim. I should have another system to deploy soon so I'll be able to get back to you more quickly. Thanks.
