        I just checked for the i386 package that I need. On the IPv6 site it is available but NOT on the IPv4 site (yet I hope).

          The strange thing is that if I click the links here at the office, the file downloads. If I access from home via my pc or pfsense it cant be found. Tested via ipad from a wifi hotspot and it failed… so not sure why the links work here at the office. If I browse the directory I can see it from here as well. Try that from home or from ipad do not see it at all..

            As said above, it only works over IPv6.

              Ahh missed that.. guess thats it then.. guess i need to dload the file here upload to the firewall at other location then install it via command line…

                Hello,

                and what about this message trying to get the packeage via browser?

                404 Not Found

                files.pfsense.org has address 208.123.73.81
                files.pfsense.org has IPv6 address 2610:1c0:1:25::57

                I guess on your Webserver the content for ipv4 is not set correctly or the rights are different. Is the folder the same on your webserver for ipv4 and ipv6?

                :(

                  Well I noticed the new snort package is ready to download. I gave it a shot and noticed 2 things:

                  1: It wont allow me to have 2 sensors using the same interface anymore. I've had 2 WAN Sensors (1 for blocking and another for testing/alerting new rules)
                  2: My WAN interface wont start:

                  
                  Apr 8 09:10:30 	php: /snort/snort_interfaces.php: The command '/usr/local/bin/snort -R 60770 -D -q -l /var/log/snort/snort_em360770 --pid-path /var/run --nolock-pidfile -G 60770 -c /usr/pbi/snort-i386/etc/snort/snort_60770_em3/snort.conf -i em3' returned exit code '1', the output was ''
                  Apr 8 09:10:30 	snort[34127]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/pbi/snort-i386/etc/snort/snort_60770_em3/rules/snort.rules(7703) : pcre compile of "(obj.data|\object.data).+file\x3A\x2F\x2F127\x2E[0-9]" failed at offset 11 : missing opening brace after \o
                  
                  

                  Before upgrade I did an uninstall then removed every snort reference on the filesystem, "find /* | grep -i snort | xargs rm -rv"

                    What about the folks without ipv6?

                        Any news would need to come from the developers/people with access to the HW. Frankly, pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong with all those migrations, even the 2.1.1 release got messed up. Dunno what's up with the guys lately.  :(

                          Bill is also away on Holidays so don't expect a reply from him until he's back.
                          Hopefully someone at ESF fixes the issue.

                            Someone needs to fix this stat! I didn't even know that 2.9.6.0 v3.0.5 was brand new. I don't check my packages for updates very often. I updated and now have no Snort. How can I revert to 2.9.5.6 v3.0.4?

                              You can't unless you have a local backup of it.

                                Is there any how-to, how i can install a package manually ?

                                Because we can download the older versions but Not via Package-Installer.

                                  Tried doing the update, got error trying to re-install and still getting error.

                                  How can we fix?

                                  Thanks

                                      i386 file is still missing and I still cannot get amd64. People using IPv6 seem to be able to access it though.

                                            I tried downloading the correct pbi file using an IPV6 proxy: http://www.ipv6proxy.net/go.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.pfsense.org%2Fpackages%2F8%2FAll%2F&b=0&f=norefer

                                            I can get the file, uploaded to my own hosting service and tried a pkg_add -r in the command prompt and got the following error.

                                            tar: Failed to set default locale
                                            pkg_add: unable to open table of contents file '+CONTENTS' - not a package?

                                            So there's that… just in case anyone knows any more than I know to try.
