I’m not experienced with rpm based distro, so please, could someone help me? What’s wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Try with

yum update nethserver-subscription

then

yum update

Here you can find mirror status

Some things you could try:
Restarting router/gateway.

Try to update using:

yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror update

Is there a proxy?

pike · February 19, 2020, 12:37pm

Server or Gateway installation?

alessiomineni · February 20, 2020, 1:41pm

It seams something related to firewall. If I “shorewall clean” update works … There is no rules but standard rules and only Fail2Ban and IDS touches firewall rules …

pike · February 20, 2020, 5:00pm

Thanks for not answering
Anyway: did you enable IDS/Suricata? Did you customized the rules?

alessiomineni · February 20, 2020, 6:53pm

Gosh! Pike! Please, forgive me … I’m so sorry. Yes, I installed suricata, activate all rules but levaed unchanged.

pike · February 20, 2020, 8:25pm

So maybe you can revert the selection (is quite a huge work to manage all of them) or change from block to warning… at least for some.
I do not have some “stock” suricata/IDP/IDS configuration to check… maybe you should take a look into docs?
https://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7/suricata.html

alessiomineni · February 21, 2020, 7:56am

Yes, this is the way … this vm is a playground so I’ll do with no hurry.
Thank you again.
