    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    @keyser That is normal - the download of the GeoIP asn data is randomized (once when the system is setup) Why it runs at different times on different boxes. When you schedule pfblocker to run at 2:00 all the ASN files are then already local and not downloaded again. Put it another way, the older version would download every ASN file, every time, pfblocker ran an update via cron. so if you ran pfblocker hourly, you would be downloading ASN data file for your selected ASNs every time it ran the cron job ran. Now the download only happens once (at the preselected randomized time) and you get every ASN available ) You can run the pfblolcker cron updates as many times as you like and they will not download anything (Geo /ASN) related. it will just update those lists from the local data. You can even add a "new" ASN to your selection, and it will already be available. on a 2100 this ASN database download (as you noted is logged in the extras.log) takes all of 15 seconds here. I would likely never see a CPU hit specifically related to this download. Download Process Starting [ 08/14/25 07:45:01 ] /usr/local/share/GeoIP/asn.mmdb 200 OK /usr/local/share/GeoIP/asn.csv.gz 200 OK ASN Lookup Table has been updated [ 08/14/25 07:45:05 ] Download Process Ended [ 08/14/25 07:45:16 ]

    @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: Interesting. I would have thought the initial reboot, which occurred as part of the upgrade, would have done the trick, but it took a second reboot, just now, to get things working. Glad you have it sorted. There was no difference in the output of usbconfig show_ifdrv at any point -- before or after unplugging/replugging the USB cable, nor after rebooting. ... Question: What would tell me whether or not a driver was loaded? If there were an attached driver, it should have shown up with the show_ifdrv command. If you use the command and look at the other usb devices, I think they will show attached drivers. I don't expect to see a driver attached to the ups, because there is a quirk that tells the OS to ignore that device (and not attach a driver). Look for idVendor and idProduct in the above output. The Vendor ID for your device is 0764, which corresponds to Cyber Power Systems, and the Product ID for your device is 0601, which is registered as "PR1500LCDRT2U UPS" (don't sweat an exact match for the name). You can see the quirk with the following command: [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: usbconfig dump_device_quirks | grep 0764 VID=0x0764 PID=0x0005 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0501 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE VID=0x0764 PID=0x0601 REVLO=0x0000 REVHI=0xffff QUIRK=UQ_HID_IGNORE [25.07-RC][root@fw]/root: Your device is third on the list. The HID_IGNORE quirk says to ignore the device and not attach a driver. @jhg said in NUT fails to start after 2.7.2 -> 2.8.0 upgrade: You might consider adding this resolution to the release notes for 2.8. LOL... sorry, I don't have input to the release notes (I don't work here). While I wrote and maintain various packages, including NUT, I'm still just a volunteer. Most packages are actually written by volunteers.

    @jimp said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: While we do not deliberately break such configurations, if you install a package from unsupported repositories and they replace or mess with base system dependencies, then there is no telling what will break over time like this. Understood - thank you very much for the clarification. I need crowdsec though... and there are no official support yet. I don't mind reinstalling the system, it takes reasonable amount of time, unless I found netinstaller fails to connect to my pppoe which tripled the time of restoration. For that I have no explanation and it is obviously not related to the dependencies, but that's offtopic in this thread.

    Strangely enough, checking the system 4 days later, I now see that Wireguard service is reported running! The last thing I did 4 days ago was to disable Wireguard service monitoring by the Service Watchdog. Anyway, even when it was reported stopped at first, 4 days ago, the tunnels were working flawlessly. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

    But free doesn't mean that it can be used in an open source project.  There's a world of difference between free, GPL<versionx>, BSD, MPL, etc. Plus, frankly, if you switched to using key only logins, it wouldn't be a problem as the attacker would need both your private key and your passphrase.</versionx>

    You want each extension to have its own caller id that matches its DID. On the extensions tab for each extension there is place to put caller id information per extension. Make sure you didn't define the caller id on the gateway because that could override the caller id defined on the extension.

    Sorry, this problem is old, I've fixed it but arrived with a new problem wich is abit more complicated… The problem is that pfSense can not control the service proberly since it is basically a php-script run as a service... I think I will try to use the original client instead, with modified screens But thanks for trying!

    I have DNS-O-Matic configured to update a dyndns.org account as well as the opendns account. Since I posted the original message I have had only one error notification from the DNS-O-matic service (16-Jul-2009) and it said DynDNS response for '***.dyndns.org': –------------------ <title>502 Proxy Error</title> Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /nic/update. Reason: Error reading from remote server which I didn't understand but since I've seen it only the once in more than a month I've assumed it was a temporary error. The history entries at dnsomatic seem to cover about a week and the only error entry was that one on 16-Jul.

    yeah. I've checked snort_download_rules.php, the script that updates rules, it actually removes the all files under /usr/local/etc/snort/. /*  Make Clean Snort Directory */ if ($snort_md5_check_ok != on && $emerg_md5_check_chk_ok != on && $pfsense_md5_check_ok != on) { if (file_exists("{$snortdir}/rules")) {     update_status(gettext("Cleaning the snort Directory..."));     update_output_window(gettext("removing..."));         exec("/bin/rm {$snortdir}/*");         exec("/bin/rm {$snortdir}/rules/*");     exec("/bin/rm /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules/*");        } else {     update_status(gettext("Making Snort Directory..."));     update_output_window(gettext("should be fast..."));     exec("/bin/mkdir {$snortdir}");         exec("/bin/mkdir {$snortdir}/rules");         exec("/bin/rm /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules/*");     update_status(gettext("Done making snort direcory."));   } } So it works as expected. Since updates happen once a month unless you are subscribed, it wont be a big problem. Thanks, Abraham

    Each ACL worked (catch and filter URL's) by self Source only, not by Dest or Time. If you have more one ACL with equivalent Source, then will work only first ACL. In you situation create Dest's FaceBook and Popcap set Time 08:00-17:00 FaseBook block ontime and allow overtime Popcap block ontime & overtime thanks … i have some direction from here ... i have to try it ... here what squidguard i need for http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,17859.0.html maybe some more direction ... :)

    Ok.. i have readed this: In pfSense, squid.conf gets rewritten at startup from squid.inc.  If you manually edit squid.conf your changes will be lost when you reboot the box.  If you edit squid.inc, your changes will be saved/reloaded each time you boot.
