    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.

    @GPz1100 I ran into this same exact issue. I don't have the Prefer IPv4 over IPv6 box checked, but I do have IPv6 enabled. I think the real issue is that Let's Encrypt's server seems to respond with "Recv failure: Connection reset by peer" on almost every request when using IPv6. I tested this by using the command curl -v https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory from pfsense's shell. To work around it, I modified the ACME script as you described. In the file /usr/local/pkg/acme/acme.sh, I updated line 1887 from: _ACME_CURL="curl --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " to: _ACME_CURL="curl -4 --silent --dump-header $HTTP_HEADER " After forcing curl to use IPv4, both certificate registration and renewal from the acme package started working again without issue.

    @elvisimprsntr Updated 25.07.1 to 1.90.6_1, copied and pasted from @elvisimprsntr's post: pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.90.6_1.pkg (Why it worked this time and not on previous updates: Over the last couple of days, I ran into the "Shared object "libutil.so.10, not found..." error that triggered the version 25.07.1 update issues some of us have been having. After I fixed that error, I decided to go back to the usual update method, and it worked.)

    @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.

    When you have LAN bridged to WAN, the LAN side has no IP. You'd probably want to bind squid to the WAN in that case.

    At the point where this thread started, the package was known to be broken. It's working now, though there seem to be some issues with openospfd 4.6. If you're using it and run into any issues, start a new thread.

    If you need URL filtering, you could use OpenDNS instead.
