    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.

    I know this thread has been dead for a while but I looked at it again, and it looks like the problem is that the squidGuard package is assuming that the log directory is read/write all the time. It logs a lot of things, and it's not feasible to keep that on a read-only filesystem. The better solution might be to rotate its log frequently, or manually add another FS (like a USB stick) that is kept read/write.

    I did search the forum, but perhaps my google-fu is not upto scratch. Much thanks. So I just edit the squid.inc file as I would the .conf file?

    You can install pfflowd and setup a Netflow collector (search the 'net – there are a ton of them) which can analyze the traffic patterns and give you a good idea of what is going where.

    Problem solved! Thanks to pfSense book, page 75 session 4.9 and 4.91. Editing /cf/conf/config.xml I've found those duplicated snort services, deleted the top 4 snort related lines. After rebooting I got just one snort as it should be. [image: back_one.png] [image: back_one.png_thumb]

    It took some time but it was fairly easy when you follow the openvpn tutorial. You shouldn't unless you want to connect remotely anyways. I used my intranet web server to host the database and run the frontend.

    @bczeon27: I know this is off the topic.  I got the pfsense book.  But, I want to know more about secure networking.  Do you recommend any book that teaches networks infrastructure and security? Nothing comes to mind, really. There are lots of books out there, but none jump out at me for that. You might start a new thread under "general discussion" to ask everyone.
