  Hello all, This is an older implementation of pfSense and Suricata running on a Netgate SG-3100 box. pfSense version: 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (arm) Suricata version: 4.1.7_2 This firewall has been working flawlessly for years but recently has been producing a lot of false alerts/blocks in Suricata during basic internet usage. I have noticed that the ETOpen rules in Suricata have not been updating since early October. Here is the log: Starting rules update... Time: 2025-11-02 08:16:16 Downloading Emerging Threats Open rules md5 file... Emerging Threats Open rules md5 download failed. Server returned error code 410. Server error message was: 410 Gone Emerging Threats Open rules will not be updated. The Rules update has finished. Time: 2025-11-02 08:16:17 Is there any solution to this without going through a risky/painful upgrade to the entire firewall OS and packages? Thanks for any help, Nate

  @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.

  @netboy Most probaly a configuration regression. You really need to dig deeper. From which pf version did you upgrade? Have you tried removing and reinstalling pfblockerng? Looking to the moon for craters with naked eye doesn't show the one that the crashed spaceship created. Use a telescope instead. FWIW, I see quite a few pfblockerng instances on 25.07.1 running with no (apparent) issues τοο

  @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: @dennypage My UPD indicate runtime: 18:21 Yes, but that may be completely inaccurate, especially with bad batteries. That's why you run a calibration test.

  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 ?

  I feel like I’ve followed every guide there was. I was able to get nordvpn via wireguard on my pfsense but for the life of me I can’t get my own wireguard server working. I can’t even get a handshake. I have all the firewall rules mentioned, the gateway, interfaces. Etc. I got no clue what to do at this point. Can anyone please help? I’ll provide any information required I just don’t even know where to start I’ve tried every YouTube video possible and guide it’s strange. I was able to get nordvpn working but I can’t get my own.
