    @qupfer What did I bang my head over this strange 502 issue. Your solution did it! Thank you so much, even 2.5 years later!

    Hi, I had a problem with my home network today, so I checked pfsense and discovered that suricata had blocked the wan ip. After some tests and triggering some suricata alerts, the wan ip was blocked. I restarted pfsense and ran some more tests, but the problem no longer occurred. I then checked the wan interface settings and indeed the ip list does not include the wan ip, both now that it's working and before, when it was blocked. I'm using pfsense 2.8.0 and suricata 7.0.8_2. I use PPPoE to access the Internet.

    @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.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    And when you are on version 25.07.1 or 25.07 and then click on the reinstall button for the ACME package. It will downgrade. :) [image: 1755753389733-125fc31e-ef4f-4342-b364-48c2b03446c5-image.png]

    @rosskan In theory, when you tunnel a 'VPN1' over another 'VPN2', VPN2 will see the originating IP as the one belonging to VPN1, not your real WAN IP. So far, ok. That said, when you subscribed to VPN1 and VPN2, you probably used your ISP IPv4 ^^ You installed the VPN1 (or2) application on your crappy laptop ?, if so, 'forget about it' ^^ 'as they know', the app is at an end point, and can see 'everything'. Don't forget that you pay for your VPN subscription, but you give them more then your money. They can see and use your data connection for 'data mining'. And they will make use of that data - by selling it. Why ? Because the share holders want a good financial result. If you need to connect two (your !) networks (or sites) together, use your own VPN solution. Don't use a commercial company. For example, take the ones you got with pfSense. If you really need to use that public network (aka : the Internet) to contact public servers, you are aware that the connection is already encrypted end-to-end ? That's what https is all about. 'http' doesn't really exist anymore / shouldn't be used. Also, you need to take other steps to be safe : you really should start with removing "windows 10" out of the equitation .... @rosskan said in What information can vpn provider see when I use wireguard?: does wireguard share the mac address of the ethernet port of the crappy laptop with vpn provider #2? MAC addresses travel on a local segment. Your laptop's MAC doesn't travel any further then the first hop, this is most probably your first router (gateway) like pfSense. Packet capture your traffic to check this. The Ethernet headers are not encrypted.

    @gwaitsi: "redis" dependency package  - seems not to be enabled. it is there, and returns set redis_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf 1/ This is not how you enable services in pfSense 2/ Stop necroposting, this thread is 2,5 yrs old, concerning incredibly buggy PBI packages. Someone lock this, please. Just attracting noise.

    I was looking at something else in ntopng today and went ahead and tested/committed a fix so that redis now only binds to localhost. Still worked fine for me so I pushed the new version out for everyone.

    Probably not. Personally, I would leave the FTP server running and only enable the firewall rule/port forward when it is needed.

    That "error" is harmless, there is likely some other different error happening. Post the full output from the package installation window when it fails.

    That depends on what you mean by "keep this package up to date". If you mean keeping the package itself current/updated, there is no way to keep it updated that does not also potentially compromise the integrity of the package set on pfSense. One of several reasons we do not recommend installing packages from other repositories, including FreeBSD's own repositories. You can reinstall it by hand when you know an update is available. FreeBSD packages are good about not clobbering your own files/data when uninstalling/updating/installing again. If you mean keeping it across pfSense updates, that's even less certain. You will likely have to manually reinstall it after each update.

    This thread was specifically for people who were developing packages previously who needed information on converting existing packages for use on pfSense 2.3 in the new pkg and bootstrap framework. Not for general package creation questions.

    johnpoz we get it, you dont like dnscrypt, so why are you in this thread? If someone wants to run dnscrypt on their own kit, its none of your business. My setup on my existing router which I plan to migrate to pfsense is sort of like this local caching resolver -> forwards uncached requests to my own dnscrypt endpoint of which that resolves out on the internet. and yes I know what dnssec is and the mode is nothing to do with dnssec. uozewe -I am willing to send something your way for the work, a cli only package is good enough for me, so just the binary, rc script and maybe sample configuration.  I got no issue editing unbound and what not to add forwarder manually.

    Your pkg metadata is very out of date if it's trying to fetch a file that old. Try running "pkg update -f" from a shell prompt and then see if it works. It should be pulling version 1.3.13, not 1.3.8.

    I don't see any version of this software available for freebsd. If NUT works you don't need anything other to be installed on firewall.
