    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.

    @jimp: @miquim: i have the same problem, the test mail in advanced settings works but on mailreport not work with this comand /usr/bin/grep /bin/date -v-1d "+%Y-%m-%d" /var/squidGuard/log/block.log | /usr/bin/grep -v in-addr I am using pfsense 2.4 and its works on comand line and with pfsense 2.3 before I updated to 2.4 That box isn't meant for complex shell commands, odds are something is getting lost along the way or changed/escaped in an unexpected manner. Make a shell script (e.g. /root/mystuff.sh), make it executable (chmod u+x /root/mystuff.sh) and then run that script for the report instead I did this but when i test with Send Now buttom nothing hapen. I tryed exclude the comand and select a log and again don't work. I tryed to put simple``` /bin/echo teste what i can try now?

    So what are you trying to solve? The message says that some authentication failed, that's it. If that's expected, then move on.

    I know it's quite an old post, but you need a flashstart subscription to do it. They offer a free trial but definitely to pricey for me. http://www.flashstart.com/ is the website for more details.

    @smils: For pfsene 2.3.4 there is Zabbix Proxy 3.4? No, only in 2.3.5-DEVEL for now. System / Update / Update Settings Please select the stable, or the development branch from which to update the system firmware. Use of the development version is at your own risk!

    Hi Jimp, yes it was already working on the mentioned box. I also tested it on a lab device at home and there I have the same effect. Port forward is working. DynDNS names configured and working. Configured names etc. working but somehow the exporter won't find either a name nor an IP for the automagic config. Anything I can throw in to help? Edit: added screenshots from the test-lab instance below. Explanation: The test lab has WAN configured with 192.168.178.2 (VIP) and 192.168.178.251 (pfsense IP) and has a cable router in front of it. Cable router is passing through everything to pfSense. OpenVPN connect from outside is working perfect. Already tried every possible setup with the port forwarding. Using "this firewall", using "WAN address" or using the VIP IP but neither setting used produced a result.

    Fair enough.  Looks like they are loaded.  I'm getting some errors about loading them at boot, which sent me down the wrong path, but they are certainly there: : /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-kmod status Checking vmmemctl kernel module: loaded.

    There could be something about the formatting of the report e-mail that the mail server doesn't like. It know it still works, I have a couple 2.4.0 systems setup to send me reports and I get them every time they run.

    Thanks for the reply Jimp. Sorry it's taken me so long to notice, I thought I'd turned on notifications for the thread, but clearly hadn't. Whilst I appreciate what you're saying regarding the number of options, I'm not sure I agree that it's a waste of time. Having a component like this not part of the config sync increases the opportunity for inconsistencies to appear between the two firewalls when a change is made on one, and forgotten about on the other. The bindings are my concern. Whilst your standard pfSense deployment probably only has a handful of interfaces, I currently have around 60 customer interfaces, and counting. I could easily see myself add a binding on one appliance and not notice it's not bound on the other. Anyway, I appreciate you no doubt have many better things to do than worry about a package for what is ultimately a defunct protocol. Ultimately, config sync, or no config sync, I appreciate you putting the time into making this package available in the first place. Thanks.
