Enabling IDS/IPS stops internet on interface
« on: April 26, 2021, 05:48:36 pm »
Zentyal 7.0

Enabling the IDS/IPS module on the outgoing ethernet interface disables internet traffic.  Has anyone seen this happen before?  Any ideas?

Hello,

I have a similar problem. Zentyal 7.0, suricata 6.0.2, zentyal-ips 7.0.0, used virtual machine and br0 and eth0 interfaces

I installed the zentyal-ips package and it also installed the dependency suricata package. I enabled IDS/IPS and setup it on br0 then it disable all traffic (services) over LAN and suricata.service doesn't run and zentyal-ips module disabled.

When I enabled IDS/IPS and setup it on eth0 then LAN traffic enabled but suricata.service doesn't run and zentyal-ips module "Running".

I removed zentyal-ips and suricata then I install they again.
root@srv04:~# apt-get --purge remove zentyal-ips
root@srv04:~# apt-get --purge remove suricata
root@srv04:~# rm -rf /var/log/suricata
root@srv04:~# rm -rf /etc/suricata   
root@srv04:~# rm -rf /etc/default/suricata

root@srv04:~# apt-get install zentyal-ips

I checked suricata status
root@srv04:~# systemctl status suricata.service
● suricata.service - LSB: Next Generation IDS/IPS
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/suricata; generated)
     Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-05-17 13:35:41 CEST; 35s ago

máj 17 13:35:41 srv04 systemd[1]: Started LSB: Next Generation IDS/IPS.

I don't understand why it used suricata.yaml when /etc/default/suricata includes SURCONF=/etc/suricata/suricata-debian.yaml parameter.

I enabled IDS/IPS on Webadmin but not setup it any interface and suricata.service exited and doesn't use SURFCONF parameter

Can someone help me?

Thanks and Regards

Hey guys, I seem to be having somewhat the same issues.

After enabling Suricata, I cannot login to Zentyal remotely. After disabling it, I have connectivity restored.

I wanted to confirm that this is not a conflict with RADIUS?

Hi,

What error are you getting and what version of Zentyal are you using?
