    @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?

    @wyang Hello! I dont think the openvpn-client-export install is related to the FRR deinstall. FRR would have been deinstalled by simply switching to the 2.4.5p1 repo. Now that you have switched back to the 2.4.5p1 repo, I would try reinstalling FRR from the Package Manager. My experience is that the packages that were auto-purged still had their settings saved.

    To the people following this thread, i couldn't make this work. Steve from Netgate did his best to provide support for this via a ticket that I opened and not even he could understand why APCUPSD was working on my ubuntu box but not on pfsense. In any event, i decided to give nut a more serious try and got it working. I migrated my ubuntu box from APCUPSD to nut, as a slave, and everything seems to be working fine. At least both, the SG-1100 and the Ubuntu box can monitor the ups and retrieve it's status and parameters. The key for this was to restart pfSense after installing the nut package. If not, I kept getting an error saying that nut "could not connect to the UPS : Not such file or directory". This tip was provided in the following webpage https://blog.victormendonca.com/2020/10/28/how-to-setup-ups-on-pfsense/

    @bhjitsense said in Brand new SG-2100 won't install packages: And now it wont boot at all. Lovely. Yeah, that looks like corrupt firmware image. You can open a support ticket with Netgate here: https://go.netgate.com/support/login. There is no charge for getting a fresh install image.

    @provels New thread may be appropriate as I marked this one as solved. Check if your Status -> Monitoring is working and showing current data. This runs off the same dataset. Other than that you can use the rrdtool command above to check that the database is filling. There is a task associated with filling the database; make sure this is running. During debugging you can turn unix time into date/time format using "date -r" function. If nothing works you can try deleting the database and start over. Maybe it is corrupted. Good luck.

    @dhjdhj said in Package manager empty: @bingo600 Thanks. I guess that if the default branch was pointing a "newer" distro, I assumed I'd be getting notified of updates for it. I didn't particularly choose to stay on the older version --- I just didn't know I had to, to have the package manager work properly Cheers For now the update for SG-3100 appliances has been pulled back (not available online) while the pfSense team is developing and testing a bug fix. The pulling down of the latest update repo will likely "confuse" your SG-3100 box. The SG-3100 uses a different CPU (a 32-bit ARM processor) than some other Netgate appliances and the CE build (which is x86-64 only). The bug affects the ARM appliances only. So pointing your box to the older 2.4.5 rep will let is see packages for that branch.
