    @nick23369 You don't have to wait for the official fix. Adding the directive load-server-state-from-file none to each backend will override the default behavior and makes HAProxy backend changes take effect immediately. This is the easiest - do it one time and it's done. You can also stop HAProxy, delete run rm /tmp/haproxy_server_state from Diagnostic > Command Prompt, and then start HAProxy. There is no problem with HAProxy, it just takes some extra work to make negate the hardcoded config settings and make backend changes apply immediately without having to reboot pfSense.

    @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.

That's probably good thing ? ( ! ). Up to you to discover why your NAS should initiate connections to these countries. A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    @gogol: Thanks for the clarification. I still had the old directories from the previous (2.5.4) installation and I was looking there. That brought some confusion. I uninstalled snort again, removed old directories and installed it again. You are doing a good job! Yeah, one of the things I added in this latest update was to try and do a better job of "cleaning up" when uninstalling.  Of course for the initial update from 2.5.4, or any earlier version, to 2.5.5, you will potentially have to do some manual clean up.  After that Snort should be a little better cleaning up.  It will leave some directories in the old locations, but they should be empty of files. For 2.0.x pfSense users, the Snort files are still in /usr/local/etc/snort.  But for 2.1 pfSense users, everything now will be in /usr/pbi/snort-{arch}/etc/snort where {arch} is either i386 or amd64, depending on your platform.

    I would like to make note. SSD's for Caching is not the best option.. They have number or write times and you could kill the SSD with Cache.. Not sure how long before that would happen but it will.  You will get good speed but short life.

    In this case I am not using a transparent proxy but local authentication and added users manually. I am doing this for testing purposes to see how things work out. Eventually if I see that everything is working out, then I am going to make use of Active Directory.

    There are multiple versions of the inline config - which are you using? Some clients only support tun and will choke if "dev tun" is there, such as OpenVPN Connect. If you use the "Others" choice for Inline it does have "dev tun" inside.

    Hard to understand for me what you write because google cannot translate it really good to german ;-) I am not PHP expert but as far as I understand it then the file "pkg_edit.php" + "freeradius.xml" + "freeradius.inc" generate the GUI. If you change anything from console like: vi /usr/local/etc/raddb/users then this will be overwritten If you click on "Save" on the GUI. This is because in the freeradius.inc there is a command which writes the content from the .XML to the file.

    SSL encrypts the data, not the address ??? what you call the "address" is facebook right, wich is a DNS resolution. DNS is layer 7. SSL encrypt everything after layer 3. That's why you can't block it by name . Apparently, the problem is that redirecting port 443 traffic through the proxy would interfere with the SSL connection and so it's not done.You can work around this by setting up your own certificate yes it's what I've said ! But its not the fastest and easiest way to do to it. that's why I recommanded to do it with firewall rules ;) I hope I were helpfull  ;D ;D
