    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 ?

    @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.

    " a field for HTTP options to be injected into the header. " No as it states its where you put in options to passthru to the frontend.. This common theme on all packages and or services in pfsense.  There are gui settings for the obvious stuff… but more advanced features can be put into a custom box that are added to the conf file, etc. Look fired up a frontend - put your option in the box, check out the cfg file..  See attached pic you can also put that option in global or default section, etc. [image: frontendoptions.png] [image: frontendoptions.png_thumb]

    Hi BBcan177, Questions:- (1) Will it work on Suricata? (2) I have the passlist in place. Will the script wipe the passlist? If so, I want the passlist + the script run together. Is it possible?? (3) if multiple hostnames, how can I do it? If you use the pfctl -t xxxx -T delete, it just delete the IP from the block list. eventually, the ip will be blocked again. It is the other way around. How can I update the passlist ip using script? @BBcan177: I didn't test it, but try this in an sh script Create new script vi myip **#!/bin/sh MyIp="$(host -4 my.hostname.com | grep -oEw -e "[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}/[0-9]{1,2}" -e "[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}")" pfctl -t snort2c -T delete $MyIp** (Save and exit) :wq (make script executable) chmod +x myip

    @msrachelchen: I ended up using Suricata instead. Though with cpu pinning, the load is still pretty intense atm Looking pretty juicy, 19.82 MB/s. Though most of the “CPU usage” went to NIC queues State Table: 47% (3987752/8500000) Load average: 9.39, 9.96, 9.60 CPU usage: 68% Nothing is running except Unbound, pfblockerng (DNSBL), IPSec and Suricata. I haven’t started HAProxy and TC yet… Suricata is multi-threaded whereas the current Snort release is still single-threaded.  That can help a little under high loading.  The new 3.x BETA versions of Snort are multi-threaded.  Once the 3.x tree goes to RELEASE, it will get pulled into pfSense.

    Unfortunately, bandwidthd is no longer maintained, its last update was more than 10 years ago. I have made the modification myself to the bandwidthd source code and display the hostname next to the IP address, in addition, I also updated the maximum IP listed in the HTML from 20 to 50. 20 IPs were probably a lot back in 2005, but these days 50s are probably the norm. If you are comfortable with compiling c code, I can attach my changes here.

    Hi, Your lucky. The answer is simple. You can't do that. pfSense is using itself PHP for the GUI. There are probably many lines in the scripts of the GUI that wouldn't be compatible with PHP 7.2. Btw : this is like asking how to install core Windows 10 files on a Windows 8 PC. Experts can't (and won't ask the question).

    The only downside of not having a backup MX is having to wait hours (4+) for retries to come through, or longer if it's a prolonged outage. It's not the end of the world, though, messages will be resent. If you botch the backup MX config then it could be worse. You could accidentally reject mail and never receive it, or let even more spam through on a continuing basis. The best backup MX is an exact duplicate of your primary mail server hosted off-site.

    I don't know the answer definitively, but you can install it and try it out.  I would set it up in IDS (non-blocking) mode first and let it run a week or two in order to get a feel for the kinds of alerts generated.  Expect to see quite a bit of alerting related to the HTTP_INSPECT preprocessor.  You can search the IDS/IPS sub-forum here in Packages to find threads about configuring Snort.

    @Dezireman25: Hi All! Just want to ask for your help. I install 2.4.2 pfsense and add squid, squidguard and lightsquid packages. I followed some instructions in youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2gy1bLHm5o) and do some research but LAN did not pass through my squidguard. Squid and squidguard services are running. When i check using proxy test my internet users are not going through squidguard. please help TIA 1st :- You need to allow your LAN Subnet in squid:- Squid  Proxy Server  > ACLs >  Allowed Subnets (put your LAN subnet here) 2nd :- in squidguard by default everything is blocked , you need to allow some list:- SquidGuard Proxy Server > Common ACL  > target Rules List >Target Categories > (default is deny at bottom , allow specific list as required)

    Hi, The linked post doesn't mention anything regarding Python 3. It's just about installing mitmproxy in a Python 2.7 virtualenv. Could you maybe give a brief explanation how you got python 3 on pfsense in the first place? Thanks.

    I do the question before because i do not want to reset the data and could be other problem. Disabling and resetting and/or disable graphing and maybe not needed to delete and reinstall the package seams solve the problem. Maybe a broken déjà vu but i thin i have tried this before, months ago. Anyway thanks for the feedback and solutions, i should know this. I will wait couple of hours and put a solved on the topic if this stay good.
