    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    @jrey I found the DB sizes on Maxmind, and they are rather big, so i'm figuring it just takes time for such an anemic CPU to sort all that out.

    @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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github.

    With Tailscale, I just recommend sticking with the FreeBSD15 version. Yes, it may currently work using the FreeBSD 14 package despite being on 15, but any number of other updates could result in that not being the case anymore. Not to mention the fact that any updates newer than 1.84.2_1 don't really impact functionality for what people would be using Tailscale for with PfSense so updating past that is not an absolute necessity. I run 1.86.4 on my desktop+phone and 1.84.2_1 on my pfsense router. Phone commonly uses the PfSense router as an exit node and there's no difference for PfSense. TL;DR: Better to be safe than sorry and stick with the FreeBSD 15 version even if it's not the latest version of Tailscale.

    Strangely enough, checking the system 4 days later, I now see that Wireguard service is reported running! The last thing I did 4 days ago was to disable Wireguard service monitoring by the Service Watchdog. Anyway, even when it was reported stopped at first, 4 days ago, the tunnels were working flawlessly. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

    @marcelloc: I think the easiest way it(using firefox) install the package again and remove. Try this first and if it does not work go to command line and type: pkg_info You will find squid-2.xyz installed delete it and it dependencies with: pkg_delete -r squid-2.xyz But the correct way is to install and uninstall it using the GUI.

    looks like there is already a bug report for this: http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/999 I've tried to fix it on my box with no luck other then the workaround. But I dont like messing with core files anymore ;-) …. I would think its a simply fix but i'm not a php programmer.

    This can be espected as squid "engine" is not that good for dynamic/session pages. I saw it on one doc comparing squid and varnish. https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/ArchitectNotes A test I did once was configuring a varnish daemon as proxy server sending to a squid as backend. The result was some times faster then squid itself. But I'm sure that there is some config options to improve cache hit.

    I am not sure to whom you have sent money but not to me, not sure with cmb. If you send me the money for sure that will help since jamesdean is not anymore in the loop for this and not has spend time to make snort usable. Since you were willing to send money just send them to me and surely it will help get snort further forward.

    If you want to check it is ntp, you can tick the box to log to a tcpdump file packets that match alerts.  Then get the tcpdump file off the pfsense box (it's in /var/log/snort) using something like winscp, open it in wireshark and take a look.  If it is ntp, it should be marked as such.  But it is using the ntp port (udp 123).  Malicious traffic does sometimes use well-known ports though in order to evade detection.  If you google the IP address though, there is some evidence that it is an ntp server.  But the reverse DNS is li153-120.members.linode.com and checking the IP for 0.uk.pool.ntp.org does not give this IP.  However, I started incrementing the number and it is listed as one of the IPs for 2.uk.pool.ntp.org.  So it does look legitimate (unless the server has since been comprimised and not removed from DNS - I suspect unlikely).

    @cylent: so the question is: when i hit save in the proxy server settings does it restart squid? i am fairly sure it does,  you can confirm by tailing the cache.log file where you'll see the squid process starting/stoping when you save your changes via the gui. (/var/squid/logs/cache.log) -g

    Same issue here and lowering the memory usage fixed the issue. OK, either Snort shut down when I was tinkering with my VPN or Snort restarted during an update. When I noticed it and tried to restart it I got the same error. Then I set the memory back to it's original settings it worked. I had originally been running it in AC mode and had set it to AC-STD. Now it's back to running fine in AC. I'm running 2.0.1 AMD 64 on a Dell PowerEdge server with dual Xeon 3.2 processors and 2GB of ram.

    Hi, Same problem here. Since upgrading to 2.1-DEVELOPMENT (amd64), built on Fri Mar 23 22:35:08 EDT 2012 I also need to use the "net.inet.tcp.signature_verify_input" trick, otherwise bgpd will not communicate. It never worked with password in the configuration, either TCP-MD5 key or password. Peter

    @richie: @robi: Thanks. What hardware are you running these on? old AMD 2200 with 768MB of RAM.  It uses alot of memory but seems fine.  I have memory settings as AC-STD with custom whitelist and suppression list.  The whitelist is important because there is a setting that adds VPN addresses dynamically to the list. I just switched to AC-BNFA.  It's the default setting I should have used to begin with because memory consumption was up with AC-STD.  Now it went way down and it starts up much faster.  I read somewhere until initiation is complete Snort is not protecting you and that the end results of the different memory settings yield the same protection.  I'm also considering removing the Shellcode rules because I getting some false positives from certain websites.  In the meantime, I'm placing the ip's in the whitelist that I created earlier.
