    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.)

    Hi @patient0, Already fixed :) reset and preformed a full new installation. The peer can connect and performed a successful Handshake, and ping pfsense, wireguard and lan servers. However psfsense and my Lan servers can't ping this peer even with the handshake performed. I know that ping can be misleading but don't now what else.

    oookey, but I don't know the right way to settle my settings in this file. Nop, killing the config.xml to get somewhen a config.xml, which doesn't kill my box directly and straight on will last too much time. I don't know how to do it. For this and further installations would be nice to have this settings in the squid-package, without to have to edit manually somewhere here and somewhat there.

    Nothing is impossible on pfSense.  Depending on what authentication method the code you copied is talking about, this should work just fine.  Squid configuration files are, for all intensive purposes, platform independent.  If it does not work for you I'm sure that somebody here could write something for you very quickly if you started a bounty. I would suggest trying to modify the bit of code you copied and see what happens.  Make your changes in /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc save the file and restart the service (maybe your whole box).  If it doesn't work, just change it back and you will be fine.  Good luck.

    I thought that I should pause and put things in perspective (at least for myself) by mentioning this: I've been running Snort IDS on my network for a few months, so I've become fairly well acquainted with the kinds of malicious traffic that have been getting to my servers (fortunately, without doing harm).  I had been averaging about 500 alerts per day.  But after adding Snort IPS to pfSense a few days ago, a grand total of 8 alerts have triggered on the IDS sensor.  Six of them were also registered by the pfSense sensor, but not blocked.  (I'll trust the expertise of the Snort guys and James on those.)  Thanks, Snort guys and James for such a great product. But even though they have presented no danger to me, because I'm not running IIS, I am still a bit concerned about the two http_inspect double decoding alerts that didn't get caught by pfSense/Snort.  I'm concerned, because if I needed to turn them on, I wouldn't know how, and it makes me wonder what other preprocessor rules are not active. The http_inspect preprocessor is configured in snort.conf, but the preprocessor rules path is commented out, and can't be un-commented (snort.conf gets overwritten when snort reloads).  So, I guess the preproc rules must be stored in some location that's unknown to me, making it impossible for me to turn them on or off. James, I'm sure your plate is full.  But I would be grateful if you would provide some advice on this when you get a chance.

    I helped inksite over Skype. These are the changes we did to get this to work: 1. Remove NAT entries that pushed VOIP somewhere else on the network. 2. Register the phones to the WAN ip or domain name pointed to the WAN IP 3. Delete the lan profile. LAN profile can be used but it makes its harder to get everything working. Its far easier to force the internel profile to use the LAN IP then it is to use a seperate profile.

    Did you actually install to the hard drive or is it still running from the CD? You might try a newer snapshot than the "official" RC3, too.

    Hmm I also have restart issues (after wan ip change). The packages still shows 1.7 (the previous memleak update). How can I be sure this is the right one? Or should I wait a little longer for the update to appear? Ok please ignore my message I checked snort.inc and it is apparently fixed there :)

    I installed this on my test box and could see the information on the "denyhosts" page under services.  I installed denyhosts on my production FW with the same pf release and I don't see anything on the "denyhosts" page under services. On the one that I do see /var/log/denyhosts I can the hosts being updated by denyhosts, there I see no updates being reported. Thanks

    If you look at the note on the package before installing it says that is requires 1.2.3. I show it on 1.2.2 because 1.2.3 is still not in full release and I want people to know that the package exists. pfSense 1.2.2 uses an older version of FreeBSD. Freeswitch used in the package on 1.2.3 was compiled on FreeBSD 7.2 and that version or higher in the 7.x range. So if you compile FreeSWITCH on the version of FreeBSD that 1.2.2 uses then copy it over then the FreeSWITCH package could work on 1.2.2. P.S. I'm working on a new version of the FreeSWITCH package as well. I've now called the project FusionPBX and the website is fusionpbx.com. It now works on multiple operating systems. UnixDawg is building a FreeBSD port for FusionPBX. When that is ready I will use that port and wrap a pfSense package around it.
