    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.

    @Draco try to goto the General Tab, first ensure that the Keep Settings option is checked. Then unchecked Enable pfBlockerNG so that its disabled. Hit save. Force Update. Then reenable pfBlockerNG and Force update.

    @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.

    All traffic is blocked on pfSense by default. If you have no other pass rule that matches the same traffic, then all other traffic will be blocked.

    James I have tried the same with snort 1.25 and pf 1.2.3 I posted screenshots below of my configuration. Here is the alert http://www.snortid.com/snortid.asp?QueryId=1:11969 Edit: As a side note the snort package doesn't get along with chrome. Stumped me for a bit why things weren't working lol.

    Heh try all the categories with "scan" in the name. Try the ICMP categories if your scan doesn't show. Also make sure snort is running on the WAN interface. It should be green if it is running.

    $ cat /usr/local/etc/snort/whitelist/defaultwlist wasn"t in the file itself. It's how I obtained it from the GUI using Diagnostics/Command Be gentle, I'm a noob. Not sure what you mean by "for that interface", but I have attached a copy of the contents of /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf Hope it's what you're after. Just checking back in to see if you have been able to duplicate the snort "fail on pppoe reconnect" issue on your end.  And to see if the snort.conf.file I provided was what you needed. Sorry that I don't yet always know where to find the requested file(s). (I sometimes need guidance figuring out which directory to look in.) Sounds like you have a full plate working on Snort INLINE with pfSense v 2.0. Perhaps I should try that version. As to pfSense v1.2.3,  Snort-old seemed to work much better for me with PPPOE. Thank you, jamesdean, for all your help. Sincerely, snort.conf.txt

    They ranged from 0.5 meg to maybe 5 megs each.  They were from an NNTP client (Agent).  It opens up to 10 sessions I believe when downloading.  That's where I noticed the message the most. The pfSense box I'm using is an old PC with a 866 MHz Pentium CPU and 768 MB of RAM.  It works fine for my private LAN.

    Operation Demo is given in the description (check one AUTHNAME > then DNSNAME > then IP). If demo eturn IP then DNS not resolved you IP. This can be if you pfsense dont resolve local IP's by DNS.

    @rhy7s: Does anyone know how to analyse the cdf spreadsheet to create reports for custom date ranges? Still would like to know how to go about this if anyone has a method to use, there's the link on the wiki http://devwiki.pfsense.org/BandwidthD but I get a message about too many rows when opening my yearly log. I'd really like to get a custom report per IP for custom date ranges but not sure how to achieve this.
