    @Gertjan Whenever it is a full hour I see stuff like this in my logs: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/ip/94.16.122.152 It seems to be time servers but it's a TOR node and some private person hosting traefik? I feel like this should not show up? It originates from my ASUS access point. But it is also related to when the emerging threats get updated. All happens at the full hour mark. I don't know why some random private persons ntp server gets queried.

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    This still seems to be an issue, and makes the Tailscale client unreliable. I have 4 nodes down now with expiry disabled, after some unknown time, and then a router reboot they can no longer authenticate. Error executing command (/usr/local/bin/tailscale status) # Health check: # - not logged in, last login error=invalid key: API key does not exist unexpected state: NoState From the CLI I can run tailscale login, and it re-authenticates the same node, I can tailscale down + up and it connects fine, status on the webpage looks good, but if I reboot or restart the Tailscale service in the webpage it can no longer connect again with the same error needing to login again. The only way to make it work reliably is to clear the config, delete the node and reconnect as a new node. Pfsense 2.7.2, Tailscale package 0.1.4

    This is still an issue as of 2.8.0 / 25.07, and it drives me crazy. Gateway failure works as expected, the wireguard tunnels will fail over to the backup gateway and continue on as normal, but will never recover once the failed gateway comes back online. While a reboot will (usually) fix it, I usually just go into my routing settings and mark the secondary gateway as down, forcing it to revert back to the primary... the users tend to dislike it when I reboot the firewall in the middle of the day

    @marcelloc: @Gradius: I need to log into WebGUI and enable it manually everytime I perform an update. Every time pfblocker is uninstalled(during update or not) it's disabled to prevent rules and aliases errors @Gradius: This never happened before 2.0.1 (even on 1.2.3). Pfblocker on 1.2.3??? I did it together with tommyboy only for 2.x or later

    well thats another problem. the whitelisted ip's are not being blocked, only if you enter a CIDR like 192.168.20.0/24, i had to type all 256 ips into an pfsense alias to prevent my subnet from being blocked (because of blocking "both", dst and src(which can change in some rules)) currently i tuned most of the preprocessors by removing the check marks in the configuration page and entered a different preprocessor configuration in "Advanced configuration pass through". Works very good, but I turned most of the preprocessor alerts to reduce false alerts.

    Not sure if this is implemented in squidguard GUI of pfsense but have a look here: http://www.squidguard.org/Doc/authentication.html But squidguard GUI allows IP addresses as source and hostnames as source. If you know the hostnames of the users than add these hostnames to a group.

    After you deleted the blacklists etc. please go to your Group ACL, edit the ACL and check that the targets on your "Target List" is "–-" Do the same on the "Common ACL" tab - set all to "---" and click save. Then on the "General Settings" click save and then Apply. Now all "old" blacklist entries should be removed. But I am sure you want to use squidguard to block something but you need to explain more, what you want to do, provide screenshots and or IPs which should be blocked or allowed and so on so that we can help you to configure squidguard.

    Quickest way is to alter the default access rule. Change http_access deny all to http_access allow all in squid.conf and squid.conf.default Please be sure this is really what you want to do as the proxy will be noticed if you open it up to the internet.

    @awsiemieniec: the URL BL db server knew I downloaded it too many times and punished me by limiting the bandwidth to next to nill. That's  why I preffer to download it manually and copy it to pfsense.

    @Quinten: I checked /etc/resolv.conf on the PFsense box, and our local DNS server is listed correctly first. You dns config options are using internal dns server? did you tried to disable dns forwarder service on pfsense?

    Well major issues here… first ISP issue then after they finally came back online I find out there is some sort of failover that my GM added me into. So now im limited to 10Mbps till a new card is installed in his failover box. So I might have to scrap my whole setup/squid may just end up being a basic router... Or nothing. Thanks for all the help, if something changes in the next few days and I get everything I had before back I will try your fix and report back. Or I will create another post and start over new. Again thanks! Josh

    In basic terms, a next-generation firewall applies deep packet inspection (DPI) firewall technology by integrating intrusion prevention systems (IPS)…. snort IDS has poor performance.

    thank for that advice, but the logs didnt show a (maybe failed) update, when the IP changes, it only and quietly dies. Without any further notice. :( Last log-entries were always the IP-change, then as next entry something like  "snort quitting" - nothing more. But what i see the last days is that sometimes it doesnt die on IP-change. hmmm. Hard to resolve, i think.
