    @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.

    @jrey That makes a lot of sense to do it this way. But why am I seeing soo much CPU load when this happens compared to you and my own setup before? 5 minutes @ 50% CPU (one core @ 100%) on a 2100. I did not have this load at the scheduled reload at 02:00am before on 24.11.

    @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.

    Don't install an MTA on the firewall. If you install the arpwatch package, it comes with a small script which pretends to be sendmail so it can send mail using the pfSense notification settings.

    [Solved] How to configure HAProxy to forward client IP's to backend web servers

    There was no issue with HAProxy. The issue was related with my Apache config, sorry for that. I'm now using mod_remoteip instead of deprecated mod_rpaf and appropriate log format options. On HAProxy side, it's only required to select option 'Use "forwardfor" option' in the frontend, as described in below documentation: https://github.com/PiBa-NL/pfsense-haproxy-package-doc/wiki/haproxy_pass_clientip_to_webserver

    Thank you @PiBA. I changed my actions so that they use the ACLs. Works quite nicely. Regarding IP Filter / Authentication I found this article: https://hochwald.net/user-authentication-with-haproxy-on-pfsense/ I have not tried it, yet but I really prefer authentication over IP filter since you do not see if the filter works when you come from an authorized IP. I would have preferred an LDAP user backend but a static user list will suffice for me, too.

    @PiBa Thank you for your reply. That lead me to another interesting thing. In pfSense's WebGUI the right certificate is chosen. I have a look into /var/etc/haproxy/shared_frontend and did: openssl x509 -in ip.domain1.net -text -noout And baam, the common name is 'images'. The letsencrypt certificate though had a wrong CN configured so that's what this is.

    Remote printing over stunnel

    @johnpoz first off, I'm dismayed that you are belittling my request for support. If I wanted advice on how to best connect a remote printer, I would have asked that in the appropriate section of the forum. I've done the research and determined that a VPN is not the best solution. I don't (nor likely will) have any ability to change the network setup on the distant side of the solution. In most cases, they are built using off the shelf products that typically leverage one or two very common Class C network IP ranges. This would require a rather complicated split-tunneling VPN solution a user would need to manually start. I would also add that a proper VPN deployment is much more than running a wizard and dumping out a config file. As I received no such support, I spent hours researching solutions on my own. Here is what I've built, tested, and fielded, for folks out there actually looking for a solution: Most printers using standard IP printing use port 9100 and the RAW protocol over TCP. Local Side pfSense Firewall w/ stunnel add-on installed pfSense Stunnel Config: Listen On Port: 9100 (Can be whatever you like, as long as it matches the stunnel config file on the distant side.) Redirects to IP: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (Printer IP attached to the LAN (or better, a DMZ)) Redirects to Port: 9100 Custom Options: PSKsecrets = /conf/stunnel_psk.txt stunnel_psk.txt contains a list of identities and preshared keys in the format ID:Key. pfSense even provides a handy editor under Diagnostics once the file is created in the conf directory. Create WAN firewall rule to pass inbound TCP traffic on 9100. (Even better, only allow connections from specific public IPs you need to print from.) Distant Side Install standard stunnel from: www.stunnel.org then enable running as Windows service. Edit stunnel config file: ; encrypt outbound printing [Remote_Printing_9100] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:9100 connect = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9100 (Public IP and the "Listen on Port" of pfSense firewall.) PSKsecrets = psk.txt PSKidentity = ID Create psk.txt in the same folder as the config file and past the same ID:Key combination from stunnel_psk.txt and restart the stunnel service. Then simply change the IP port of the printer to the local host and enjoy!

    I just ran into another FreeRadius question, an found this : clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User" Run it yourself on your system. Console access or SSH, option 8. Now, when user logs in, you have it's user name, right ?! Let say, the user is called "107" What about this : clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User 107" Now, take the last line : clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User 107" clog /var/log/system.log | grep "FreeRADIUS: User" | tail -1 My idea is : when you make your own portal login page and portal error page (the page where the red error shows teh somewhat misleading : ""invalid credential"") Edit this error page, and add some PHP code that executes these shell commands - and if there is some result (read : useful messages). Show the result on the error page ! Something like : User x has reached the daily amount of upload and download traffic (124 MB of 8 MB). The login request was denied. Now, all you need to do is scripting this together using some PHP and the commands you found above, and put it into the captive portal error page.
