    @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 Clarify "it makes sense if the GEOIP DB has that size" are you referencing the asn data as I have shown or the maxmind data? the asn data takes all of 15 seconds to download and process. Not really any "magic" going on there, you can see the mmdb is only a download referenced and the asn.csv.gz is basically just unzipped. I can't comment on the maxmind data specifically because I don't use for my geo location. But I can see what the code should be doing. seeing your actual log file will help determine where your specific spike may be coming from, but if I had to guess from looking at the code and my timing with respect to the asn parts of it I would guess this is most likely to be an issue with the maxmind parts - timing should be in the log. can you change when it runs ? no, not directly, there is no way to do this without changing the code to target a specific time when it creates the cron job in the first place. No you can't change the timing of the cron job and have it stick, it will eventually just go random again. On the other hand, yes, because I changed the code here so it always creates the same "not so random" time.. runnning at same time every day since this code change first became available in the pfblockerNG update for 24.11 that came out months ago, well before 25.07 curious you originally said "noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pfb 3.2.7" were you running the "new" format of asn data before? (would have only been possible if you upgraded from 24.11 with the latest version of pfb installed) you would have entered and ASN key at some point to make it work. did you do that under the prior version and just now with 25.07) it's likely not significant, but then again .... That likely won't help your spike, other than moving it to a different time. I moved it here to a static ("not so random") time for other reasons, nothing to do with system load at the time.. Log files would be helpful. (just the snippet that applies to this time, from extras, error and pfblockerng logs there may be nothing in error or pfblockerng related to the time it is running. .

    @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.

    @MarvinFS said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: on the other hand I might report it... It's been years since the Crowdsec package was first released for pfSense and it has yet to be added as an official package, not sure why. So prob better to report it because who knows if it ever will be released. I waited a while for the official package before installing Crowdsec, but gave up and have been using it for at least 6 months without issue until the ACME update. I try not to install anything outside the official packages, it's the only one that I have done this way. I will just have to be more careful with updates, and maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first.

    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.

    @michmoor I'm uploading a plain text file, I've just created one with the eicar string. The thing is that once its uploaded and on my exchange server, if I try to download the file, I will get the error message from pfsense that it's a virus, but by that point it's scanned by another service. I'm just using pfsense to check the upload.

    @optimus-prime said in Bandwidthd with names: And to that extent, is there a way to assign user-defined device names within pfsense by mac address, regardless if devices are set up with DHCP, Static DHCP, or statically assigned? Of course. Add your own static DHCP leases at the bottom of this page : Services > DHCP Server > LAN One for each device + it's MAC address and the IP, member of the LAN network - and outside of the pool.

    @wintok Start by backing up your existing config to a safe place (or multiple places). Then i'd suggest : Since you have Netgate hardware , that you get a new install image from them, and create a usb boot stick. Then via the usb stick,upgrade your box to the latest release. I would also suggest that you use ZFS as your new filesystem, as it offers some exciting new functionalities in 22.05 ... Snapshots. I can reinstall from scratch (w. hdd format), in less than 20 min. Providing i have a working config backup.

  • Freeradius - VLAN fallback assignement

    @nogbadthebad - Thanks for your reply. If using 802.1x authentication you can have the radius server pass back the VLAN for the authenticated user (either using username/password or MAC authentication). This is all working as expected for authenticated users - I have one SSID thats broadcast, depending on the user or device (in the case of my IoT) it gets dropped onto the correct VLAN as it reads the radius response. The issue I have at the moment with PFSense is I cannot seem to set a fallback VLAN for failed authentication (ie guests) - Previously in OPNSense (using freeradius) I dropped all unauthenticated users back onto a guest VLAN for segregation. However I dont seem to have the GUI option and when trying to put in the right Syntax for the advanced options, cannot seem to get it to work.

    @dominikhoffmann I also use freerad, good tool but the GUI is a little old. Have you looked at the captive portal on PFsense? Just another option though I think I saw somewhere a few years ago about issues with IPv6. Supports radius as well

    @herr_xyz Until then it's up to you to download the new version by yourself from there and install it on your Windows or even integrate it into the installer package manually.

    @viragomann Oh man! So, I finally figured out the problem. You were correct from the beginning. In fact, nearly every scenario we tried works. The problem had nothing to do with my setup. My ISP decided to up and block port 80 all of a sudden without telling me. I figured this out by going back to basics. I started up a simple webserver that listened to port 80 and just forwarded directly to that server. Worked on most every other port except 80. Spent 3 hours on the phone with my ISP to get this fixed. All works now. I really appreciate the help. I did learn a few things along the way, so not a total waste of time.
