Recently I described how to increase drive, partition and filesystem on FreeBSD in Azure virtual machine. It turned out that this scenario was little bit different from a virtual machine running on top of VMware. First of all, with or without vm-tools I was not able to get updated drive size: It gives messages that rescanning was successful, but actually it did not apply new values. However we can check new drive size with the following command: If on your system you get same results, then you need to reboot. There is also a difference of having swap space. First
I use NetGate pfSense+ version 22 based on FreeBSD 21. I encountered a problem of running out of disk space because of packet logging enable in Suricata. Out of a sudden there was high traffic and therefore high logs production. Disk space utilization was over 100%. Now there is a problem with /config/config.xml file, there is no VPN, Suricata, pf configuration available from the UI. Dashboard is corrupted also. However there is /config/backup folder with backed up configuration files. I’ve taken the last known good with proper file size and put it in place. After reboot it works just fine.
I want to enable only particular rules categories. Do not want to have all these internal Suricate rules as they cover too broad variaty of cases including loads of false-positive. If one would like to go for deep traffic analysis then they would be fine, but in case you see “STUN Binding Request On Non-Standard High Port” and know that is your P2P camera in the LAN then it’s worth disabling all of that things at once. To disable them it is a little bit tricky on pfSense installation. Go to Interfaces and selected desired one. Be sure to uncheck
