    @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.

    @keyser Clarify "it makes sense if the GEOIP DB has that size" are you referencing the asn data as I have shown or the maxmind data? the asn data takes all of 15 seconds to download and process. Not really any "magic" going on there, you can see the mmdb is only a download referenced and the asn.csv.gz is basically just unzipped. I can't comment on the maxmind data specifically because I don't use for my geo location. But I can see what the code should be doing. seeing your actual log file will help determine where your specific spike may be coming from, but if I had to guess from looking at the code and my timing with respect to the asn parts of it I would guess this is most likely to be an issue with the maxmind parts - timing should be in the log. can you change when it runs ? no, not directly, there is no way to do this without changing the code to target a specific time when it creates the cron job in the first place. No you can't change the timing of the cron job and have it stick, it will eventually just go random again. On the other hand, yes, because I changed the code here so it always creates the same "not so random" time.. runnning at same time every day since this code change first became available in the pfblockerNG update for 24.11 that came out months ago, well before 25.07 curious you originally said "noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pfb 3.2.7" were you running the "new" format of asn data before? (would have only been possible if you upgraded from 24.11 with the latest version of pfb installed) you would have entered and ASN key at some point to make it work. did you do that under the prior version and just now with 25.07) it's likely not significant, but then again .... That likely won't help your spike, other than moving it to a different time. I moved it here to a static ("not so random") time for other reasons, nothing to do with system load at the time.. Log files would be helpful. (just the snippet that applies to this time, from extras, error and pfblockerng logs there may be nothing in error or pfblockerng related to the time it is running. .

    @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. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    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.

    Maybe this somewhat older article helps: http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2003/12/understanding-snort-dns-ttl-alerts.html Using Wireshark is too much work for me, but a concise dig command also helps: [007@wopr ~]$ dig +nocmd -x 8.8.8.8 +noall +answer 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa.  44632  IN      PTR    google-public-dns-a.google.com. Your dns server is unlikely the authorative one for this address, so you'll see only the remainig time to live (the number in red), which is still a bit larger than 60s. You should probably check your DNS setup, but Google doesn't seem to work with very short TTL values. As the article indicates, sid 254 is not really that useful, as real man-in-the-middle attackers would probably use lower values to attack you, or at least not exactly 60s…

    There in no guide yet. :( When you install dansguardian package 95% of default config is applied, you have just to select squid ip and port. In the help tab there is a link for a dansguardian wiki that helps you on understanding how dansguardian works. the usual setup is dansguardian -> squid -> internet

    @stilez: How do I view or clear pfsense's own hosts file and local DNS cache? pfSense's host files is populated with the entries in the Host override section and also if you have DHCP hosts been automatically added. @stilez: Unbound is creating unwanted entries for my LAN IPs and some WAN side IPs ("local-data-ptr: "x.x.x.x PC_NAME.DOMAIN"" etc). What's the necessary config code for Unbound to not create records for, or to refuse to act as a DNS server for, specific IP ranges? Delete the entries from your host and domain overrides as Unbound makes use of that to populate its entries.

    This is another example where reading part of the docs is worse than none. squidGuard uses its own compare function (domainCompare()), so db_verify() cannot possibly know about the intended sort order. This is why verifying fails. The -o flag allows for skipping the sort order verification and when checking the domains.db files db_verify -o domains.db should be called. Needless to say, all db files are ok.

    If you installed squid pfsense package, during uninstall it removes squid binaries. find / -name squid will find all folders/files with this name To remove a folder, you can use rm -rf /path_to_folder_you_want_to_remove. Be carefull, rm can destroy your installation.

    Something that worked this time, who knows why.  I stopped the squid service and then started it usingsquid -d 9to get it to log what was going on to the console.  In a separate console I ran``` squid -k rotate ***EDIT**** Found same thing was occurring on a second pfsense box, same version, same installed add-ons, much less traffic.  Did the commands listed above and rotate finally worked again.  I'm also killing the squid -d 9 process that I started for doing the log rotation and starting squid again through the web console.

    I have looked at adolfo screen shots. My ALIX nanobsd 2.0.1 system has all the same way of trying to do this. But it just doesn't change the rules as the time changes. If I restart SquidGuard when I get to the different time period, it happily implements the new rules. Then the rules for the new time seem to apply forever. At the weekend I can try this on 2.1 development on a spare ALIX system and see what hapeens.
