    @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.

    @Deadringers: Morning all, I installed Snort and have it setup to run all the rules on the WAN interface…it looks like it's active but how do I know if it's working? I have been to the alerts page and the blocked hosts page on the snort part of the firewall interface but I can't see anything that has been blocked and no alerts? Which leads me to believe either: 1 - It's not working properly and I've done something wrong or 2 - it has detected nothing which needs to trigger a rule. I don't believe that it's number 2 for a second as I have tried to load some "dodgy" sites and downloaded some questionable material as a test into a VM of mine. Thoughts? Ahh right I have it up and running properly now! :) a reboot of the firewall sorted things out and now I can see the logs being generated.

    @rajbps: Hi DigitalDeviant, Just want to be sure the server will be in the main office and the zabbix clients will be installed on the remote locations. All running pfsense. Linking the site to the main site, there is an openvpn site to site link, so each office comes back to the main site but none of them talk to each other. So if the vpn link goes down due to the service stopping on the remote site and the link dies, how will that link start again. is the agent clever and will it restart the link as during that time the server will not be able to contact the agent. Looking forward for your answer on this one. Cheers, raj I believe, in cases where the agent cannot contact the server, it's possible to run the Zabbix Proxy on the same machine. From there you can set the agent to run a custom command to run the start command as well as report that the link went down. Once the Zabbix server gets the information it can send out an email. You may need to give the Zabbix agent elevated permissions. I've never tried this and I don't have a test server to try it on.

    Thanks guys. I addressed the disconnecting problem, it was my hardware. I tried 2.0.3 32-bit and 2.1 beta 32-bit on 2 different J&W MINIX D2550-HD, same issue. When I replaced the motherboard with a Supermicro X9SCA-F, it's all working fine. No disconnection in 3 days.

    @hcoin: Talk about belt-and-suspenders.  Makes me wish each package that was a vm guest that was its own iso/appliance.  As hard as the open source world tries to deal with 'dependency hell' it just never seems to work out of the workbench environment. On 2.1 pbi packages will be much easier… I'm testing firmware upgrade on one of my 3 inbound smtp servers and I it's stuck on upgrade process. I found a mtree process that is "indexing" /usr dir with 60bg of dcc log from mailscanner package. For next 2 boxes upgrade I'll remove these folders before the update and remove all packages as well.

    On squid-cache.org you probably find a description for nearly all config options. An example: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/negative_ttl/ And you have the possibility to check the different values for the different squid versions.

    I can appreciate the difficulty in creating a dynamic whitelist for Snort. Perhaps in the interim a partial solution could be getting the whitelist to at least populate on startup all the IPs from an alias, including those from FQDNs.

    OK - I figured out most of my issues.  For anyone experiencing some of the same maybe this is helpful: Internal redirect issues: The error page is rendered from the same interface as the UI, I found out.  I have squid and squidguard on a few vlan interfaces so that I could isolate the UI and some other devices from what is basically my "mgmt" network subnet.  Because I have FW rules in place to block all traffic from the vlan'ed interfaces to this mgmt network, the page won't render. External URL's not working: While I was changing the settings I was not deleting the browser cache on my iphone between settings changes.  So, I was getting old webpages when hitting the same sites rather than the redirected pages.  So lesson learned is to always delete your cache when testing these different settings!

    @rengiared: sorry for my late response, but i have figured out where my problem was on the site with the 2 wans i made a gateway-group and set this on the default-lan to everywhere rule as gateway, as soon as i changed it back to the default gateway preference all works then you can fix it easy we setup a "private" alias with all internal networks (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 169.254.0.0/16) and set on each LAN a first "external" route: allow any any to !private any  over gateway group (with traffic limiter)

    @rl2171: Strange, if I do Deny inbound it shows red, but if I deny both it shows as green. If you have no rules on wan interface, pfblocker will not create a rule as you already has an deny all traffic rule.
