    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: Your suggestion is preferred, but from I understood from you, nobody is interested or have the knowledge. Again thank you, for updating this package over the years. I'm sure there is someone here on the forum using the package that has the knowledge to maintain it. Another option if IDS/IPS is critical is to use the Linux package on a separate virtual machine or hardware appliance. Inline IPS performance would actually be very good using a Linux box (or even a FreeBSD box) with two separate NICs and configure true netmap hardware-to-hardware mode. That is many times more performant than the hardware-to-host mode that is required when using netmap within pfSense. Of course using a separate box would mean no GUI, but that's how the vast majority of the world uses Suricata already (without a GUI).

    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @wesley33taylor okay, now I have to ask, just due to being especially dense today, what and how did you do that? what do others need to change, so that there is written history for anyone else that might end up finding this thread and wanting to do the same, the usefulness of archival purposes and the desire to confirm I've done the same drive me to ask this. please advise.

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    I am on PFsense Plus 25.07.1 and I am trying to setup my VPN's wireguard and at first it worked now it will not. Once I set up WireGuard for the first time, it all worked. I could toggle on and off the WireGuard and everything would work as it should, so I made a backup of the system. A few days later, after I rebooted PFsense, the writeguard came on but it disabled the Unbound DNS. and when I went to enable it, I still would not get any traffic. Once I disable Wireguard, I'll get internet again. I went and reinstalled the backup and same thing, it does not work. The VPN I am using is TORguard, and I had the techs from TORguard remotely into my machine to set it up, and they have the same issue. they can ping their VPN traffic out and they can Ping my IPS traffic but there is a bug with switching between the two. Can anyone on here help me with this?

    @gertjan I went ahead with the config. I've tried now to rollback to a previous config with the bug, but I don't think I guessed it. Thing is, the issue was there with 2 fresh installs and 2 upgrades. I'm certain the interface was already enabled prior to hitting save.

    @chudak said in “snort *** Caught Term-Signal” errors: @bmeeks I am happy to accept that this is normal I was confused by “A Signal 4 error is most definitely not "normal". Something severe happened in that case to trigger that error. That means the CPU tried to execute binary code that is incompatbile with the CPU platform.” Thx! A Signal 4 error is indeed not normal. A Term-Signal is perfectly normal. They are not at all related.

    No, packages for older versions are not available with the exception of the most recently retired version. So since 2.5.0 came out back in February, you can still change a system setting and install packages from the 2.4.5_p1 branch (the previous stable version), but you can't go back any farther. And those legacy version packages will not track their counterparts in the RELEASE branch (i.e., they will be potentially an older version and will not be current). You have a very old version of pfSense, and a 32-bit one at that. There is no longer a 32-bit version of pfSense for AMD/Intel platforms. So if you truly have a 32-bit only box, then you need to upgrade to 64-bit hardware and then upgrade pfSense.

    @adamthemantyler said in Quagga_OSPF: not available in remote repository: @bmeeks Thank you. Looks like I am running 2.4.5 on my boxes still. What would you say the upgrade path looks like? Would I just have to manually document my OSPF configuration and remove the module.. Then upgrade to 2.5.0 and install FRR? Or is there some migration path that will move settings over from Quagga for me? I have some other packages that are out of date too, is it generally a better idea to upgrade packages before a system update or the other way around? Regards, Adam Tyler Sorry Adam, but I don't use either package (Quagga nor FRR), so I wouldn't be of much help. Perhaps someone else will chime in with migration options. As for updating other packages, ALWAYS update pfSense itself first if an update is available. If you update or install a package after a new pfSense update is posted, and you haven't installed that pfSense update, then installing a package will break your system -- sometimes to the point of needing to reinstall and restore a config backup. If you want to install a package on an older pfSense version, then you must go to SYSTEM > UPDATE and on the Update Settings tab change the drop-down selector there to the option "Previous stable version (2.4.5 deprecated)", save that change, then install the package. Changing that setting points your package system utility to the correct branch of packages. Note that these older packages will not be updated, though. They will be whatever was the "current" version at the time the new pfSense was released. There is a dedicated FRR sub-forum on the board here: https://forum.netgate.com/category/79/frr. Perhaps posting your questions in there would generate some helpful replies.

It is not publically available. You will need to wait for the change to be merged into the public Github repo. They have a private internal repo where they do testing of changes before migrating them to the public site. Notice the URL is "gitlab.netgate.com". Anytime you see that "gitlab" portion, that is their private repo.

    I must admit that I have never heard before about squeezebox, therefore I have never used it before. Most of the time I listen to music through Spotify using my wireless headphones. I especially like doing so while training, and since lately most of my workouts are done at home, I enjoy using my headphones even more. I understand that your problem is with Avahi, so my basic question is why did you decide to use this app? I get my apps only from https://appcrood.com, who I consider to be trustworthy, and because of that I always get quality.

    @ibbetsion said in Telegraf's built-in ping plugin showing higher latency since v2.5: Since upgrading to 2.5, the built-in Telegraf ping plugin is reporting results with a higher latency then what I get if I were to ping the same system from the pfsense CLI. And the diff is 2x, sometimes more. This wasn't an issue in 2.4.5x. Is this a known issue? For more clarity, I'm pinging a system on LAN, so am expecting <0.3ms response time. Telegraf shows >0.8ms, sometimes even >2ms.

    @steveb53 said in Quagga OSPF missing in 21.02-RELEASE-p1: @nogbadthebad HI, FRR was already in the previous release but its not as user friendly. Quagga is missing in the current package manager. If its been dropped, why, if not when might we see it in the newer release. All the pfsense docs refer to Quagga too and not FFR. Quagga and several other packages were officially retired back in November last year. Here is the entry on Redmine: https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repository/revisions/85652efd5dfee9f66c7c7f3c97eb1c368f690ae3.
