    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.

    BIND to provide DNS over wan

    ^ this is spot on advice..  I really can not stress it enough, unless your very familiar with bind and keep it updated.  And even then its going to be very rare that its just not better to host dns elsewhere.  There are plenty of places you can get FREE service if your registrars dns is lacking features.  HE comes to mind for sure, and for low cost $29 a year sort of price dnsmadeeasy is just top notch choice. For starters hosting off your own connection, do you have another connection/location to provide your 2nd ns?  this really should be on completely different netblock and isp and completely different geographic location, etc. I have been in this field for many years, and dns is a passion/hobby/work for me and I just really can not think of when you would want to do this on your own connection/gear.. Its just not cost/effort effective to provide your public dns off your own stuff when there are companies that all they do is dns and they do it very very well!!!  Anycast, ddos protection, instant updates, great reporting on queries, etc. etc. If your just needing to test something, ok - why can you not just do that in house and not available to internet?  If your wanting to use pfsense downstream and need a downstream ns in your network ok pfsense can do that off its wan, etc.  But when it comes to production public dns I don't hosting that yourself as a good idea.

    curl is in the base system, so is fetch. For most thing you'd need or want wget for on a firewall, fetch is fine, and curl will work if fetch will not. There's really no need for wget.

Hi - any news on this topic ?  ;) - I have the same issue. (dashboard blank, no sqllite db to select -  in search mail) I have tried the two fetch -o /usr/local/www/widgets/widgets/postfix.widget.php http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/px22/postfix.widget.txt fetch -o /usr/local/www/postfix.php http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/px22/postfix.txt it did not fix anything - but gave me this FATAL error instead (1 per minute) Crash report begins.  Anonymous machine information: amd64 10.1-RELEASE-p25 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p25 #0 c39b63e(releng/10.1)-dirty: Mon Dec 21 15:20:13 CST 2015    root@pfs22-amd64-builder:/usr/obj.RELENG_2_2.amd64/usr/pfSensesrc/src.RELENG_2_2/sys/pfSense_SMP.10 Crash report details: PHP Errors: [13-Sep-2016 15:40:00 Europe/Stockholm] PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'postfix_dkim.inc' (include_path='.:/etc/inc:/usr/local/www:/usr/local/captiveportal:/usr/local/pkg') in /usr/local/www/postfix.php on line 4

    Postfix forwarder - undeliverable to internal mail server?

    SOLVED - listen to single LAN ip was the key. @planetinse: @dreadnought: On my LAN, 10.0.1.201 is accessible and port 25 answers… the problem is that for some reason postfix forwarder (on my firewall running pfsense) cannot forward mail to it.  If I leave my original NAT rule on for port 25 (any on port 25 to 10.0.1.201) then mail servers are able to hit my internal mail server fine through the firewall... but postfix forwarder is not in the mix in this scenario. When I disable that NAT rule (as the postfix forwarder instructions say to do) and add the rule I mentioned above, postfix forwarder answers on port 25, which is great... but mail never gets from postfix forwarder to 10.0.1.201.  I get the error mentioned above, which to me looks like for some reason postfix forwarder cannot "see" or connect to 10.0.1.201.  I'm not sure how else to explain.  Maybe a screenshot of my rules? Waking up an old topic since I got the exact same problem - I dont seem to find any solution on this in the thread…. so dreadnought did you ever found a solution to this?

    ok issue #2 workaround (not fix in IMO) 1. was to set postfix to listen on LAN address only (192.168.1.5) a CARP address 2. NAT the external IP port 25 to the LAN IP tried to set postfix to listen on 127.0.0.1 only and NAT both the LAN and WAN ip's to it - but then i still could not route the mails to LAN.

    There is now a pfBlockerNG package that replaces pfBlocker, so I am locking this thread.
