    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.

    @vicking said in No blocks on IP: Is it a bad idea to have the action set to deny both instead of inbound only? Question is squarely for admin. Per the infoblock which explains, in part, the "Deny Inbound", "Deny Outbound", and "Deny Both" actions: 'Deny' Rules: 'Deny' rules create high priority 'block' or 'reject' rules on the stated interfaces. They don't change the 'pass' rules on other interfaces. Typical uses of 'Deny' rules are: Deny Both - blocks all traffic in both directions, if the source or destination IP is in the block list Deny Inbound/Deny Outbound - blocks all traffic in one direction unless it is part of a session started by traffic sent in the other direction. Does not affect traffic in the other direction. One way 'Deny' rules can be used to selectively block unsolicited incoming (new session) packets in one direction, while still allowing deliberate outgoing sessions to be created in the other direction. In other words: When set to "Deny Inbound", incoming connection requests from WAN hosts are blocked and therefore no state will be created. However a LAN host can still establish state to an otherwise listed IP. If set to "Deny Outbound", outgoing connection requests from LAN hosts are blocked and therefore no state will be created. However an incoming connection request from an otherwise listed IP to an 'open' WAN port can still establish state. If set to "Deny Both", both incoming connection requests and outbound connections requests are blocked and therefore no state will be created regardless of connection direction.

    I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

    @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.

    @secs: Me too. I can manualy download the files but snort seems to give up. I dont mind putting them in myself but where do I do them and do I simply put the tar type file there or do I have to uncompress them. I only installed snort today but not one catagory and rule appears…. Ideas? This issue is also being discussed in another thread also on this board and I gave a solution there too. Instructions for manual rule instructions can be found at: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=15464.0 or http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Why_won't_snort_properly_download_rules%3F Basically, you extract the files, and then places the rules in the snort rules folder.

    Ok, my bad. The CF card is NOT mounted read-write permanently. I didn't have ssh enabled yet, so I issued the "mount" command via the web interface (Diagnostics > Command > Execute shell command), and concluded from the output that pfsense0 was mounted r/w. Which it was, presumably, just for the duration of the execution of that command… When I log in via ssh, /dev/ufs/pfsense0 indeed shows as mounted read-only. Sorry about the confusion! However, no answer without a new question, I guess: When looking through the logs to see what might be going on, I noticed that snort actually starts twice, back to back. After the first start, I read this: ... Feb 24 22:46:01 pfsense snort[1683]: [ LowMem Search-Method Memory Used : 31.8716 MBytes ] Feb 24 22:46:01 pfsense snort[1683]: [ LowMem Search-Method Memory Used : 31.8716 MBytes ] Feb 24 22:46:01 pfsense snort[1683]: Snort initialization completed successfully (pid=1683) Feb 24 22:46:01 pfsense snort[1683]: Snort initialization completed successfully (pid=1683) Feb 24 22:46:01 pfsense snort[1683]: Not Using PCAP_FRAMES Feb 24 22:46:01 pfsense snort[1683]: Not Using PCAP_FRAMES Feb 24 22:46:02 pfsense SnortStartup[1816]: Ram free BEFORE starting Snort:  -- Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 72M -- Mode lowmem -- Snort memory usage: 139M Feb 24 22:46:03 pfsense check_reload_status: check_reload_status is starting Feb 24 22:46:03 pfsense SnortStartup[1842]: Snort already running... Feb 24 22:46:11 pfsense login: login on console as root Feb 24 22:46:24 pfsense snort[1683]: *** Caught Hup-Signal Feb 24 22:46:24 pfsense snort[1683]: *** Caught Hup-Signal … followed by some statistics, two lines saying "restarting snort" and another startup sequence which to the naked eye seems identical to the first one, down to the PID of the snort process and the exact amount of memory used. It seems to me that this was not the behavior I saw immediately after setting up snort for the first time, as the "Ram free BEFORE starting Snort..." line above was visible in the web interface view of the log. Now this line appears after the first, but not the second startup of snort, and thus is not showing up at the end of the log visible in the web interface any more. I can't recall when this appeared first, so I don't know which configuration changes might have triggered this change in behavior. Possibly the installation of NUT (which is not configured yet)? Is it common to see snort starting twice or should I look for configuration errors ? Thank you jimp for your comments so far, and also for the suggestion of running snort on the LAN side. I'm indeed worried about spyware / viruses / trojans. However, as I stated initially, I have two local machines, on LAN and OPT1 the latter being bridged to LAN. Is it sufficient then to run snort on the LAN or do I need to run it on both to protect both machines? I understand that the default rules I download are designed to work on the WAN. Do I need to manually adapt them to the LAN? That may be more effort than I would be willing to put in… FWIW, running on the WAN, snort does pick up on stuff: IE memory corruption, MSExchange (or Outlook?) exploits... so far all from the web-client category. I don't remember the exact rules that triggered a site block, and since I just rebooted the firewall and snort seems to forget about blocked sites across restarts they're not showing up right now.

    No  :( At the moment I have not been an achieve stable work the p3scan port. (p3scan > clamd:TCP) With clamlib this worked very perfect, but clamlib+havp && clamlib+p3scan take many resources and slowly going startup. I consider acceptable only 1 clamd:TCP socket for all applications (only one clamd daemon in system). Maybe next version will be fixed. http://diskatel.narod.ru/p3scan/

    @ToxIcon: I am having some issues Denyhost is not blocking anything  its running but their is no log showing it blocking I reinstall same issue also snort Snort-Dev 2.8.4.1_7 pk v. 1.8 stop blocking their is nothing showing up in the block list but I see some alerts, if i go under rules and enable some snort rules and Emerging Threats rules snort stop running and it wont start is their a script to enable all rules instead of having to click the x to enable them tried the old script but did not work could do with some help thanks DenyHosts quit working for me last month and I've tried dozens of times to get it up and running with no luck. I do believe it's related to Snort-Dev but I don't know that for sure. JamesDean seems to be busy and has disappeared from the board.
