    @firefox I don’t think so, to be honest with you I am on an older version also. Just make sure you do the patch package and install all the system patches.

    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.

    @jrey said in pfBlockerNG syslog logentries to remote SIEM: @keyser I so want to answer this, but then at the same time (no I don't) ... pfblocker using syslog messaging in real time. no tailing of files, no other packages, just code. Huuuh? That seems very very interesting I noticed your name in other posts around the forum where you seemed to be QUITE proficient at coding/developing. Are you by any chance considering involvement in developing and refining the pfBlockerNG package? It would be SO great if you are looking into adding native syslog to the pfBlockerNG package - or an easy workaround that does not require additional packages and “temporary” edits in files that does not survive service restarts or pfSense updates. Here’s that you will fill me/us in on the solution you are using to your Greylog - please, pretty please with sugar on top

    @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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix.

    @yobyot I've SSHed into pfsense and for the sake of testing I've simply run the command: tailscale up --auth-key=tskey-client-kQ_THE_REST_IS_A_SECRET\?preauthorized=true\&ephemeral=false --accept-dns=false --accept-routes --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=X.X.X.X/24 --advertise-tags=tag:pfsense Note the preauthorized=true and ephemeral=false I gave this key all permissions (temporarly as I just wanted to verify it's working) of course I had to register the tag used also in the ACL tags pane: https://login.tailscale.com/admin/acls/visual/tags so far so good

    Same here. It started after I installed 25.07. Then it settled down by itself after a few days. It started again after upgrading to 25.07.1. WireGuard works fine (it merely connects to the remote site from this one). However, I am refraining from upgrading the remote, because if the 'service' does not start, I fear it will not listen to incoming connections, which would leave me in a difficult situation. The other topic I had opened before finding this: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198449/25.07-release-amd64-wireguard-service-reported-stopped-yet-tunnel-trafic-clearly-is-ok

    @daplumber: Mea Culpa, I too missed NUT not being ready for 2.3, so I'm currently living without it. Interestingly the hand-hacked UPS widget is still showing up on the dashboard, but obviously with no information in it. An official UPS widget as part of the NUT package would be a very-nice-to-have…  8) I can offer my APC Back-ups 550 and CyberPower 1000VA (both USB) for testing NUT builds? Yay! NUT is back and with a VERY nice widget! From 2.3.1, don't know if it was back ported. Happy UPS NUT camper again! Yes, my previous config showed up just fine and "just worked" impressive! My only enhancement request would be to monitor more than one UPS, especially remotely.

    FWIW, looking at the NUT user support list, there are several references to the MEC0003 protocol. These are probably worth a read. There are references to both the blazer_usb and nutusb_qx drivers, and both of these drivers have a ton of configuration items that appear to be required.

    See #22 and #23 - http://networkupstools.org/docs/FAQ.html (I should probably copy it here, just to be a complete reply) 22. How can I make upsmon shut down my system after some fixed interval? You probably don’t want to do this, since it doesn’t maximize your runtime on battery. Assuming you have a good reason for it (see the next entry), then look at scheduling.txt or the upssched(8) man page for some ideas. 23. Why doesn’t upsmon shut down my system? I pulled the plug and nothing happened. Wait. upsmon doesn’t consider a UPS to be critical until it’s both on battery and low battery at the same time. This is by design. Nearly every UPS supports the notion of detecting the low battery all by itself. When the voltage drops below a certain point, it will let you know about it. If your system has a really complicated shutdown procedure, you might need to shut down before the UPS raises the low battery flag. For most users, however, the default behavior is adequate. Ask yourself this: why buy a nice big UPS with the matching battery and corresponding runtime and then shutdown early? If anything, I’d rather have a few more minutes running on battery during which the power might return. Once the power’s back, it’s business as usual with no visible interruption in service. If you purposely shut down early, you guarantee an interruption in service by bringing down the box. See upssched.txt for information on how you can shutdown early if this is what you really want to do.

    If you're using Thunderbird to access your emails, I assume you're picking up your messages via either POP3 or IMAP directly from your 'provider mail server'. In which case you would need to position your mail filter to operate in front of your mail server, not between your mail server and your clients. Spam and viruses should be stopped before they reach the mail server at all, so you would need to position your mail filter so that it received all your inbound messages and then passed on the filtered emails to the mail server. This may mean having to bring your mail server in-house. If that isn't an option, then there are paid-for mail scanning services, such as Messagelabs, which will handle all your spam/viruses for you. You'd just need to amend your MX record to point to the Messagelabs system and they would forward the filtered mail to your hosted server. If you do host a mail server in-house, you can install the Mailscanner package on your firewall, but from what I know this particular package is quite CPU-intensive and could cause your firewall some problems if you process a lot of email. In my own opinion, you'd be safer running it as a separate system, with your SMTP traffic port-forwarding to the Mailscanner server and it, in turn, passing on the filtered mail to your internal mail system.

    @dennypage: If you want to see what the driver is actually reading from the unit, you can run the upsc command like so:  ``` upsc upsname Thanks, for some reason I had it in my head it was upsd <upsname>  and it all shows valid data And don't ask me why… now the widget is showing full data display. Oh, and I too am a Marvin fan! Rick</upsname>

    Hopefully this is an area of NUT that will one day get an update… I use a Cyberpower unit but none of the Cyberpower configs work...  but if I use an APC config with the USB option it reads the Cyberpower unit model number, charge and stats.  The service will then start and the widget works for all but the bar graphs. Play around with multiple configs. Hope that helps
