    @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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    With Tailscale, I just recommend sticking with the FreeBSD15 version. Yes, it may currently work using the FreeBSD 14 package despite being on 15, but any number of other updates could result in that not being the case anymore. Not to mention the fact that any updates newer than 1.84.2_1 don't really impact functionality for what people would be using Tailscale for with PfSense so updating past that is not an absolute necessity. I run 1.86.4 on my desktop+phone and 1.84.2_1 on my pfsense router. Phone commonly uses the PfSense router as an exit node and there's no difference for PfSense. TL;DR: Better to be safe than sorry and stick with the FreeBSD 15 version even if it's not the latest version of Tailscale.

    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.

    @spectre-988 said in Netgate SG-1100 unable to install packages: I've been working on using the device at my home for a HA fail over device. I've got the device to become part of the HA but when the primary wants to sync the packages they aren't able to due to packages not being installed. I try to install myself but package manager just sits at waiting for the update system to initiate. I am not sure if the version of Pfsense I am using is the problem or the Bios. I know both are older and tried to update Pfsense version and get that the system is on a later version than the official release. Without physically separated interfaces the 1100 is not suited for HA. It could do it, sure, but the WAN, LAN, and OPT are all the same NIC in the system, just VLAN'd to a switch. Your expectations should be very tempered -- failover cannot happen based on physical disconnection and is going to be unreliable.

    I know that this question is old, but it actually helped me getting tcptraceroute on opnsense. The key thing was pkg add from freebsd. So for me it needed to be updated since I am on freebsd:13:amd64, I found https://freebsd.pkgs.org/13/freebsd-amd64/ with search :) So for me the resulting command was: pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64latest/All/tcptraceroute-1.5beta7.txz Still same version of tcptraceroute 2 years later, but it is how to find the package name that is important So thanks for this thread.

    @jimp Ok. So I took a few minutes and there's somthing I'm not getting. When the Update setting is set to 22.05 the Package Manager shows two updatable packages, WireGuard 0.1.6_1 and ipsec-profile-wizard 1.0_4. [image: 1656626435886-screenshot-22.05.png] And much to my surprise, when the Update setting is set to 22.01, I see one updatable package WireGuard 0.1.6_1 !: [image: 1656626445074-screenshot-22.01.png] Is this correct? Is WireGuard 0.1.6_1 supposed to work on 22.01, or not? Upgrading WireGuard to 0.1.6_1 is the action that took down WireGuard in our NH router. Here are the messages from the NH log that appear to describe the problem: Jun 27 21:12:15 kernel linker_load_file: /boot/modules/if_wg.ko - unsupported file type Jun 27 21:12:15 kernel KLD if_wg.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch What's wrong?

    @dvl Great. Option 2 would have been to reinstall and restore from backup. The upgrade thing catches lots of people. I put it in my sig a while back. One such problem is when the package is dependent on a PHP version that doesn't exist in the older pfSense, so it gets upgraded. There's a redmine to hopefully fix it or at least block/warn people.

    Well one issue with the move to the new version. Previously bind was installed on my /cf now it is in /var/etc/named/etc/namedb/ a side effect, is whenever the router is restarted all my keys specified as global option will vanish include "/etc/namedb/acme-keys.key"; include "/etc/namedb/ddns-key-inf.key"; include "/etc/namedb/ddns-key-sec.key"; include "/etc/namedb/ddns-key.key"; An idea would be to save them in the pfsense configuration.

    @dennypage said in WebUI takes forever to load if UPS unreachable...: I am assuming that the host running the NUT sever is using a fixed IP address, yes? And in the NUT config on pfSense, are you using the IP address (rather than hostname) to identify the NUT sever? Yep, my whole network is based around fixed IP's, either both on the machine and dhcp server or only in dhcp server. And yes pfsense connects via IP. @dennypage said in WebUI takes forever to load if UPS unreachable...: You might want to consider moving to using pfSense as the NUT sever and having the other host as a client. NUT on pfSense is very stable. Well my room is kinda limited because of the network cabling, the pfsense box and the UPS is on the opposite end of my room. Would require a 5 meter+ cable to connect the 2. Thats why i opted for a dedicated box and ATM this problematic box is the only one i can use. Done a few things to it including installing intel-microcode package and seems to be stable now ( knocks on wood ).
