    @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.

    @BiloxiGeek said in DNSBL and IPv6: Does it just follow the IPv4 address that is listed above that? In my case it would end up being ::10.0.0.86 Yes. In this specific context that's the notation being used. (Full IPv6 web server address, for reference then, would be: http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0010:0000:0000:0086]) Nota bene: I use 0.0.0.0 which renders the DNSBL webserver useless and inaccessible, but otherwise returns 0.0.0.0 or ::/NOERROR answers to all blocked lookups.

    @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.

    Hi @Finger79 have you found any information about it? For me it looks like PFsense itself does also not support RadSec as it is defined in RFC from 2012. Nevertheless only a view vendors support it at all. Maybe this changes after the Radius-blast issue. br Thomas

    Suricata by default places the physical interface in promiscuous mode, so all traffic traversing the physical interface is seen by all Suricata instances running on the physical interface. That means there is no benefit to creating separate Suricata instances for each VLAN, because a single instance will see the traffic from all VLANs. You can, to a limited extent, tailor how a given Suricata instance responds to traffic by using customized HOME_NET and/or EXTERNAL_NET variables and making sure all the rules you are enabling use the $HOME_NET and $EXTERNAL_NET conditionals in the rule text.

    @buggz I second this. It would make things much easier than enabling the FreeBSD repos, if that still even works. I might end up giving it a whirl with one of my internal fws. I've also considered the syslog route but the agent seems like it may provide more info/customization etc.

    Might help someone, I had similar issues, but it turns out my pfsense didn't trust the self signed CA that signed the influxDB cert. Found out by stopping the service: ps aux | grep tele kill -9 <PID> And then running telegraf manually: /usr/local/bin/telegraf -config=/usr/local/etc/telegraf.conf Note that the service restart/stop buttons in the web gui did not work for me, only the start button (which shows up after I killed the process)

    While looking for something else I found that I also have similar messages in my syslog. Looking further I found this recommendation for the vnStat package: "Every NIC is added on install. So if a NIC is added (or removed) on the firewall, remove the package and install again. If the firewall has data for a NIC vnStat will report the data even if the NIC has been removed. A reinstall of the package will not change this as the firewall has data pertaining to the non existent data and thus other packages such as vnstat2 will report the data it has or has found." Link: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/packages/traffic-totals.html Indeed I changed my hardware and restored the configuration from the old one. Some NICs changed from 1Gb to 10Gb. However, after removing and installing the package I see this in the log: Monitoring (10): tun_wg0 (1000 Mbit) pppoe1 (1000 Mbit) pfsync0 (1000 Mbit) pflog0 (1000 Mbit) ix1 (10000 Mbit) ix0 (10000 Mbit) igb1 (10 Mbit) igb0 (10 Mbit) enc0 (1000 Mbit) em0 (1000 Mbit) And it's incorrect. My pppoe1 sits on ix0 and my fiber speed is 3/3Gbps, so higher than 1000Mbit vnStat thinks. Also igb0 and igb1 are 1000Mbit, not 10Mbit (they are not assigned yet, though). I suppose the log messages we see are no more than a minor nuisance but is there a way to assign correct interface speeds for vnStat or disable these messages?

    @Gertjan Thank you! I Understand activities use resources, but if we have 50%+ cpu idle, probably not causing a problem? Or is that misleading? I have the exact same hardware pfsense firmware/software all with the same speedtest gui in 3 different ISP/locations. One location I have ATT Dedicated Fiber (new Install) that basically has zero network load but speed tests are all over the map (and large majority of tests are below the 90% minimums) The other 2 locations have a lot of network traffic, have shared fiber and they are much more stable than the ATT dedicated fiber. Since I have those three comparisons, I feel that proves the issue is with the ATT Dedicated fiber service. Yes or No / Agree disagree? Thanks!

    @SteveITS said in pfSense Repository down?: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#packages-netgate-com-has-no-a-aaaa-record Correct, no A or AAAA record. This time SRV records ("server records ?") are looked for. This is probably is, I'm just thinking out loud : everything is fine, but DNS isn't. pfSense can't call out for self. Seen that before, and I never understood how people to so. Default 'Netgate' DNS settings work, as I've shown above.

    @dhenzler THANK YOU for posting this!!!! I had been fighting this (and losing) for months now but, ran across this thread today and decided to try it out. It WORKED!!! At first I was more confused because I went to the system update and it showed the version 2.7.2 BUT, didn't give me an option to do the update from 2.7.0. I ran the certctl rehash in the Diagnostics/Command Prompt box which then let me access the update. And even before I ran the update I tested to see if the package manager would populate the list and, it did! And it still works after doing the update! YAY!!!! So again, thank you!

    @beechclose FWIW, it turns out the limit isn't number of reflectors, but just the line length. There is a hard coded line length limit of 256 characters for the ini file. It is a known issue. I put up a PR to increase this to 1024.

    @bigjohns97 said in Ping monitoring: Help me understand what the risks are here, to me this is nothing more than what an nmap scan would do. Ntopng is an autonomous agent, whereas nmap is not. Consider that. You should look at the ntopng code and decide for your self. The best I can tell you is that I have, and I recommend against enabling it. FWIW, you may have different views on network security that I do.
