    @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.

A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    Dear @slu @jimp Thank you for your support, people - really appreciate! Failed to figure out what was that - probably some broken deps- I've had zenarmor manually installed and crowdsec. I actually had that in the system - removed rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Zenarmor.conf rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf rm /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf but that didn't change anything I ended up fresh installing 2.7.2 from ISO, then upgrading to 2.8 and then restoring config (can't use netinstall as new installer doesn't want to connect to my pppoe during setup for unknown reason - so I can't use it, but it works just perfectly fine in GUI) Now the issue is resolved and I've installed acme just fine... can't tell what was that - I've been using pfsense maybe 10+ years.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    I'm not sure where that error might be coming from, but it would not likely be relating to a user in the pfSense user manager, but a user in the FreeRADIUS settings. You might need to take a backup, edit out the affected settings, restore that, and then try again.

    just guessing, but if I was configuring a business VPN server for remote access such as Pulse, I'd probably have my server setup to disallow clients connecting through proxies as they break the security.

    No. There is no package for it, and no plans that I am aware of to include it or even to make it available for installation in that way. There is a request open here: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9044

    That config file is very comparable with the Windows Registry, or a file system for that matter. Leftovers are not bad thing, they are just not used any more. The file tends to be somewhat bigger. pfSense settings often get removed are changed during upgrade. Settings - entries in the config.xml - created by packages, on the other hand, are most often not removed when uninstalling.

    Yep. That confimes : @Gertjan said in No package available in Available Package: Most known reason : pfSense itself can't resolve anymore. Because : @Gertjan said in No package available in Available Package: Popular expression : you broke the DNS .... so it can't find updates and package information (these Netgate's server IPs are not hard coded in the code, they use URLs). You have the solution already ;)

    I was thinking about similar setup, haproxy + suricata Frontend: SSL Offloading, Type: http/https Offloading, Public Cert Backend: Adress+Port 80, SSL no Not sure about snort, but suricata can inspect openvpn interface. I would connect webserver via openvpn to pfsense. Traffic would be encrypten within vpn tunnel but it would be still http, which can be fully inspected by suricata I tested it and it was worked. but i am not sure if there is any other security caveat i didn't count with, of course that vpntunnel would need to be extra secured.

    @u444665 said in Basic FTP server Package for pfSense: using Captive Portal which works perfectly, as long as you allow all remaining devices 1 by 1. Normally ..... a captive portal should be run on a dedicated interface (OPTx). Everybody on the 'non-trusted' captive portal interface and up to you if they 'merit' a place on a more trusted LAN (OPTy) interface. Or even LAN - if they are really trustworthy.

    Goto [image: 1576080801221-af2c14fd-b182-431d-a85e-8fd9d65e53d6-image.png] and help yourself ^^ Btw : This is the FreeBSD 11.2 => so you wind up using "syslog-ng-3.14.1_1". Netgate (pfSense) does not develop FreeBSD, they 'use' it from FreeBSD.org and take it 'as is' with some packages wrapped up to they can be installed on pfSense using the pfSense GUI. Also : this is a firewall, so priority 1 - 2 and 3 are 'security' and 'stability', so you will never find the latest version nginx, php or whatever other package.
