@cookiemonster

Thanks, manually changing mode to pf did the trick.

Someone beat me to it and just created an issue for this problem at https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/issues/3622.

Intrusion Detection and Prevention / crowdsec firewall bouncer does not start

« on: October 12, 2023, 12:07:36 am »

Hello,

I am running OPNsense 23.7.6 on a Protectli box.
I installed os-crowdsec 1.0.7.
The corresponding installed packages are:
   crowdsec   1.5.4
   crowdsec-firewall-bouncer   0.0.28
   os-crowdsec   1.0.7

The crowdsec plugin is running, but crowdsec-firewall-bouncer won't start.

/var/log/crowdsec/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer.log contains the following log lines:

Code: [Select]

time="11-10-2023 23:42:00" level=warning msg="unexpected ${BACKEND} mode"
time="11-10-2023 23:42:00" level=info msg="Starting crowdsec-firewall-bouncer v0.0.28-freebsd-af6e7e2"
time="11-10-2023 23:42:00" level=info msg="backend type : ${BACKEND}"
time="11-10-2023 23:42:00" level=fatal msg="firewall '${BACKEND}' is not supported"

/usr/local/etc/crowdsec/bouncers/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer.yaml is as follows:

Code: [Select]

api_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX     # cs-firewall-bouncer-XXXXXXXXXX
api_url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/

  listen_addr: 127.0.0.1
  listen_port: 60601
retry_initial_connect: true

I have masked the api key in this post.
In the configuration file they appear to be properly set.

I have not changed the default plugin settings except for enabling the following options:
   Enable log for rules
   Verbose log for firewall bouncer

I have searched the OPNsense forum and the internet and only found a crowdsec discourse post (https://discourse.crowdsec.net/t/crowdsec-firewall-bouncer-doest-start-backend-is-not-supported/1258) mentioning that mode should be set to one of the following: iptables, nftables , ipset or pf

I could not find any indication in the documentation that I would have to change the mode setting manually.

Am I missing something?
