      Seeing as this is the 2.0 board I would hope they are running 2.0 when posting here, but you never know.

      NanoBSD on 2.0 needs a lot more testing, packages especially. However, we do need a LOT more detail, at the very least we need to know specifically which packages you tried, and what errors you encountered when you tried.

        PfSense nano works fine with 2.0 (March 22nd version) on alix, and at least one package (sipproxy) works.Ā  I have been using it in a non-critical production environment (home office) for the last 2 weeks with non problem whatsover, EXCEPT for upgrading the NanoBSD 2.0 version to a later one, which I havent succeeded in doing yet and cannot find an error log to help me .

          That's a known issue but if you want to start another thread for that, feel free (but I think there are already a couple threads)

              1)Ā  March 2 is an old snapshot. Try a new one.

              1. Those errors look like the package is not really installed. This shouldn't just happen out of the blue, did you do something before this happened?

              2. Updating NanoBSD firmware on 2.0 currently has some problems. Save your config, reflash, restore, then try again. Do not try to use the firmware upload function.

                The last release as better (17 Avril 4gb). The package works.

                We will test more.

                    That probably just means you have no snort alerts. (or they moved since the last time the widget was updated). Apparently the widget code doesn't check for that condition very well.

                    I'd be very careful trying to run snort on an ALIX, too, it doesn't have very much RAM or CPU power to spare.

                        If you aren't seeing alerts, you may be running snort on the wrong interface. Some things like portscan would only show if you run on WAN and have the proper rules enabled to detect that (and also if the traffic was even allowed; if the traffic is blocked already by firewall rules, snort won't see it, since it's a non-issue)

                        As for what to run, just pick a small number of rulesets (1-3 maybe) to start with and see what your RAM usage is. You can keep adding rules until your RAM usage gets uncomfortably high but that's really up to you. As long as the box pushed through data fast enough for your network, it should still be OK.

                        If you want general guidance on snort more than I posted, you should start a new thread with a title that is specific to running snort on ALIX.

                            I'm not sure what the issue might be there. Is that any 3 rules, or are you trying the same ones repeatedly?

                            It may be an issue with one particular ruleset.

                              Hi,

                              • I start the snort with empty rules (ok)
                              • I check 3 rules (ok)
                                The service and interface are OK (up)
                              • I check one more rules (in total 4 rules checked).
                              • The interface and services go Down.

                              I can't only check 3 rules after the snort doesn't works.

                              My memory and CPU is not to busy (about 10-20% for the cpu and 30-40% of memory used)

                              I thing i do something false or the snort can works correctly to Alix.

                              But on the Snort site the minimum Hardware for works Snort is an Alix..

                              Regards

                                Do you see any errors in the system log when it fails to load?

                                    2.0 has e-mail notifications but as far as I know, there are no packages that support sending notifications in this way.
