    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 ?

    @luckman212, Thanks for your suggestion. I will check what I have in /usr/local/pkg/tailscale/state, and also the RAM disk settings others have brought up. I could learn more about where Tailscale and pfSense store system files. If I find anything worth sharing, I will let you know.

    @andresbraga if you still have the firewall rules as you posted, then I don't know why from the laptop you can't ping the pfSense Wireguard address 10.10.6.1 nor the pfSense gateway 10.10.1.1 What is the routing table of the laptop. And I would run a packet capture on pfSense and check what you see if you run the ping to 10.10.1.1 or 10.10.6.1.

    Great..some of the things you might see in the logs sometimes is "can't send header or body to browser and also server number low spawning new..You can still increase the min/max servernumber in havp.inc…......I guess a still a WIP, but even with that it still works everytime.

    You're asking about the configuration of a program that has it's own web site, documentation and mailing lists - have you considered looking there?  Heck, even Google finds a number of relevant pages ;) Once you know what settings need to be made, you should be able to look at the WebGUI and identify whether or not it's possible to do only via the GUI.

    @jamesdean: Thanx for the heads up. Snort.org changed there md5 format to day to go along with there nice new website. From this > c2844479ed68cc0f13ab61f69e35bc7a To this > MD5 (snortrules-snapshot-2.8.tar.gz) = c2844479ed68cc0f13ab61f69e35bc7a Going have to code a fix. Man Snort Package is killing me this week. If they change it back after I code a fix, Im going on a vacation ASAP. james So code it to handle both ways  ;D If the line starts with MD5, split and grab the hash appropriately, otherwise, take the hash as-is.

    Its in your squid.inc that modifies the pf rules. You can edit your squid.inc in /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc and comment: $rules .= "#pass in quick on $iface proto tcp from any to !($iface) port 80 flags S/SA keep state\n"; $rules .= "#pass in quick on $iface proto tcp from any to !($iface) port $port flags S/SA keep state\n"; to show your current pf rules pfctl -sr

    freebsd default is 8192, but pfsense default is 0 if you comment that and reboot. sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters That will show your current value which is default unless its being specified in /etc/sysctl.conf performance also increase if set in /etc/sysctl.conf according to http://fasterdata.es.net/TCP-tuning/FreeBSD.html net.inet.tcp.inflight.enable=0 net.inet.tcp.hostcache.expire=1

    For what information LCDProc can display, try reading the LCDProc site. I'd also suggest you try that Search function.  It would have found you this thread and probably others.

    This was changed in the base system because it wouldn't work through reverse proxies with absolute paths, and there are people who manage multiple devices that way. I don't know there is a good solution aside from breaking that ability again.

    I think apaillard wants more than squid access.log. He wants go get a log file with Login name of the captive portal, hour of connexion, mac adress + Ip and all visited URLS… right now, this is not possible easily from Pfsense. You have to enable a classic syslog to log all systems events (DHCP, Captive portal, MACs etc...) to a remote system AND you have to store & rotate the Access.log from squid. The best way to rotate it is by using the GUI in pfsense, there is a checkbox to rotate, and a value to enter (365 for a year). Then, Pfsense will rotate your logs in the Pfsense's filesystem. What you have to do next, is transfering this file, access.log (in fact access.0.log, because access.log is always in use) to your remote server, either by using FTP or SCP ; script this in a file, then use CRON (it's available in Pfsense's package, as well as a GUI for CRON) to run your FTP/SCP script every day or every week, depending on how you rotate. By the way, you have to enable a special command in squid to get proper timestamp in your access.log, but by doing this, lightsquid wont work anymore. Then, on one serveur you have system logs on syslog + squid logs on a ftp folder ; you now just have to look for a match between your 2 files, for a precise day ; then you will see what IP has been given at what time, and by looking in the access.log file, you will see what sites this ip has visited.... I don't see how you can do better than that! (but if someone do, let's explain dude!)

    There is a lot of questions about the interaction of 'Default' and 'ACL'. Now 'Default' handles only those customers who do not conform to any 'ACL'. In doing so, 'Default' has its own settings, and each 'ACL' - their own. [client] -> [ SG > ( filter ACL or Default) ] -> [inet] There is an idea to extend the options' Default 'all' ACL ': [client]->[ SG > (the first filter ACL) > (the second filter Default) ] -> [inet] I think it would be more intuitive to use? What opinion?

    @clarknova: This is my short list of wanted features for the freeswitch package. 1. Settings tab: an entry for changing the domain Agreed, that would be useful. Probably add that when I make a GUI for the vars tab. @clarknova: 2. Some tab: an entry for Setting the IP address of the lan profile. This setting appears to autoset for the lan IP address, which is better than nothing, but not ideal for anyone running extensions on OPT1, OPT2. I'm thinking about adding a SIP profile for each interface by default. It would be very easy to remove the unwanted SIP profiles.
