I have the log file I can send you if you want.

Just post the relevant section here in this thread. After pasting in the log content, highlight all of it with your mouse in the "posting" textbox and then click the "code" icon in the list of editor icons. That icon is the pair of brackets "</>". That will format the block of log text and make it easier to read.

So looking at the log snippet posted, there was a period of about 55 minutes between the completion of Snort loading and starting up and the firewall reboot. The last Snort-related line is this one:

Jul 10 13:35:02 ProfessorX kernel: mvneta1: promiscuous mode enabled

That line is logged by the kernel when libpcap (called by Snort's DAQ subsystem) places the interface in promiscuous mode for packet capturing. 25 minutes after the Snort start, pfBlockerNG's cron task ran (at 14:00). Here is that line:

Jul 10 14:00:00 ProfessorX php: [pfBlockerNG] Starting cron process.

The reboot seems to have occurred here, almost 30 minutes later at 14:29:29:

Jul 10 14:29:29 ProfessorX syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel

So I'm not 100% convinced Snort is the problem. Not saying it can't be because there have been issues in the past with ARM hardware, but those issues have always surfaced within 10 minutes or less of run time (usually within 3 to 5 minutes); and have always resulted not in a reboot, but rather a crash of the Snort process with a Signal 10 memory bus error logged.

I couldnt paste the entire txt file due to a character limitation here, but the reboot did occur within 10 minutes after I installed SNORT. Is there a way i can get the complete log file to you for analysis?

You can highlight and copy-paste the section showing the reboot here. What you posted appeared to be in chronological order sorted with the most recent events last. I happen to set my system to log the other way with the most recent events displayed first. But it really does not matter.

From the log snippet you posted, I'm not immediately seeing anything missing between the 13:35 last Snort entry and the 14:29 firewall reboot. Tell me what is missing in that section of time, and then copy-paste just those lines here.

You are also free to export the entire system log to a text file and upload that file there (even zipping it if required to reduce the size). However, that really isn't necessary if you just isolate and post the section covering the time interval between when Snort finished starting up and when you say the first reboot happened.

That's the last part of the log file i think.

I don't see anything wrong in there. What you posted is the normal bootup sequence for your firewall. Towards the end of the bootup sequence, it started Snort on your LAN interface. All of that looks fine.

I see nothing in that log to implicate any package in the unexpected reboot. No error messages of any kind. You might have a hardware or power issue, but even there nothing is apparent in the log. All I see is a normal startup of Snort at the 13:35 mark on July 10, and then a firewall boot that started at 14:29:29 on July 10. That reboot was complete and a "start" signal was sent to Snort on your LAN interface at 14:29:42 on July 10.

Burner27

I thank you for looking it over. The only thing I can say is it happens only when SNORT is installed. Even SNORT by itself.

All of the dates in that log snippet were from July 10. Is the date on your firewall incorrect, or is the log really that old? What has happened in the 11 days since those log entries were created? Today is July 21, and those entries were from back on July 10 (unless your firewall's date is 11 days off).

Burner27

I can provide you with more log entries, but basically after I installed SNORT on July 10th, and it rebooted 5 minutes later, i removed the SNORT package (and used the option to remove all settings). I then reinstalled it, and I only configured it with a few lists. I only had it update the lists, and did not assign it to an interface to see if that would run ok. I let it run for 5 days and did not have any issues. I then followed this tutorial: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/ids-ips/setup-snort-package.html

It was configured for the LAN interface only. It was also running fine for about 4 days after that when I started reading articles about 'Is SNORT/Suricata needed for a home user?' Most of them in the responses (including the ones you commented on) were a resounding no. Being new to pFSense and best practices (also taking into account the hardware in the SG3100), i thought it would be best to remove it and focus on packages that would be effective for home use. I only have 1 server open to the world and it is a VM of Minecraft.

Now you are completely up to date!

So if I understood what you wrote, you installed Snort initially on July 10 and got a reboot 5 minutes later. So you removed it and installed it again but without assigning an interface that time. It ran fine for 5 days, and then you configured it to run on the LAN and it ran fine for 4 more days. Finally, you decided to remove it again after conversations and responses to this forum thread.

So I'm not seeing your logic from above that implicates Snort as the cause of the single random reboot. Do you mean you had other random reboots during the 5-day and 4-day runs, or did it run without issue during those times? If no issues for that many days, I would find it hard to blame Snort (or any other of the installed packages) as the cause of the reboot on July 10. I'm not trying to dodge the issue, but the evidence you provided in no way implicates any package you have installed as the cause of the reboot - to be honest. You had an apparent random reboot on July 10 at 14:29:29. If that is the only time, then I'm not seeing your issue -- unless I'm missing something in what your wrote. While a random reboot is certainly not an expected thing, I see nothing that implicates any package in that. If it was Snort, I would expect to see reboots during those 5-day and 4-day periods when you said it ran without issues.

Burner27

The only difference between the two SNORT installs was the one that caused the reboots was the configuration I followed from Lawrence Systems' Youtube video. This tutorial: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/ids-ips/setup-snort-package.html did not cause any reboots. The configurations are different. Is it possible a configuration could cause the SG3100 to reboot? When tried SNORT it was the only package installed other than the pfsense software itself. I agree with you regarding the SNORT package itself isnt causing the issue, i think i am doing something wrong?

I removed it because most of the people in this thread advised against it since I am running it at home and I really do lack the knowledge to understand it correctly. This is why I ask the experts (like yourself) to educate me. I didnt know you were the creator of the application, and I do appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions/troubleshoot this issue.

The only difference between the two SNORT installs was the one that caused the reboots was the configuration I followed from Lawrence Systems' Youtube video. This tutorial: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/ids-ips/setup-snort-package.html did not cause any reboots. The configurations are different. Is it possible a configuration could cause the SG3100 to reboot? When tried SNORT it was the only package installed other than the pfsense software itself.

No, I don't think the configuration would make a difference. The video you followed was primarily about configuring OpenAppID. That technology is a type of Layer 7 deep packet inspection (DPI). It can detect certain types of popular applications and alert on them. For example, it can detect most Facebook traffic, other types of social media applications and their traffic like Twitter and Instagram, and so forth. This is generally not useful at all for a home user because that kind of traffic is probably 90% or more of what traverses your network in the first place. Folks in your family use social media, and probably so do you. So why would you want to detect and block that? But if you are a major corporation or other business entity, you likely would not want all of your employees using social media apps on the company's time and dime ... . So you would want to detect and possibly block that kind of traffic so your employees did their assigned work instead of posting on Facebook or Instagram or reading Twitter feeds during work hours.

To be honest, I don't think Snort was the cause of your reboot at all. It is more likely to be perhaps a random hardware issue or even a short-lived power failure/dip that caused the hardware to reboot. The only issue I have ever seen Snort cause is a Signal 10 bus error, and those get logged in the system log. And they result in only the Snort process itself crashing. Nothing else is impacted and the firewall does not reboot. I see no evidence of that in your log.

You are fine without an IDS/IPS on a home network. The most important things for home network security are (in order of importance):

Keep all clients updated with the latest security hotfixes! That means installing all security updates as soon as practical after they are released.
Teach family members how NOT to be "click happy". This is especially important with emails that have embedded URLs and/or attachments. Doubly important when that email is from an unrecognized sender!
For all LAN client endpoints that have available anti-virus clients, install an AV product and keep it updated. For Microsoft stuff, the free built-in Windows tools are more than adequate; especially if you follow tip #1 above and keep your Windows machines patched.

Notice how none of these items involve your firewall? That's because in most home networks any firewall will have a default deny-all for unsolicited inbound traffic. That's very good basic security.

Now in your case you mentioned that you have an open gaming server (the Minecraft VM). That server absolutely needs to stay current with patches. And I would strongly recommend you move it to a DMZ network all by itself and isolate it to the maximum extent possible from your LAN and the other clients there. If that box is ever compromised, the other hosts on your LAN are then easy pickings for the hacker and nothing on your firewall can get in the way once the hacker owns your gaming server sitting right there on your LAN.

I appreciate your thoroughness in your answer. I dont know if hardware issues get reported in the logfiles, but it would make sense. The SG3100 is connected to a UPS so it does get clean power. That doesnt mean the power brick itself isnt having an issue or something with the SSD/motherboard/ram could be the culprit. I will take your advice and move the Minecraft server to a DMZ for security and peace of mind.

Thanks again for all your advice and expertise!!

Yup, putting your server in a DMZ you can filter from the rest of your network is a very good call.

I would still consider limiting what source addresses can access it if you can. Even if that's using a geo-IP alias for North America it better than allowing access from anywhere.

I don’t think I can set up a DMZ. The OPT1 interface is my backup WAN connection.

If you have (or get) a VLAN-capable managed switch, you can set up VLANs and get some isolation that way. Configured properly, VLANs are okay for what you need. Actual isolated hardware ports is the best, but you're not protecting NSA secrets or the nuclear missle launch codes.

You can configure the on-board switch on the 3100 to separate a port as a discrete interface via internal VLANs.

Yep! Forgot about that little tidbit of the SG-3100's capabilities.
