    @andrew_cb Thank you very much for this, I just tried your proposed solution and it did work! That was driving me crasy! Way simpler than deleting the haproxy_server_state file.

    @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.

    @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: its made up of multiple sources so it does make sense that it resolves some of these weird private hosts An public NTP pool like pool.ntp.org would not list host names with weird random paddings that reference local devices. "domaincontroller-gPHvwjYS.local,192.168.1.86" is a reverse PTR, and is requested by one of your local devices. Why , I don't know. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: I find them in pfblockerNG dns_reply log under Logs No URLs there, only host names.

    @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.

    @totalimpact Tailscale 1.54.0 is 2+ years out of date. Tailscale has made quite a number of changes since Tailscale 1.54.0, likely rendering it incompatible with their servers. I would consider manually updating the Tailscale FreeBSD package. FreshPorts does not maintain an archive of all the releases, only the latest compiled by the volunteer maintainers. The key to manually upgrading is knowing which FreeBSD version your pfSense release is running, i.e. 14 or 15. You can following along here.

    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

    Hello, I got it working. It seems it's not possible to do reverse proxy on 443 and 80. I had to remove port 80 to get it working. On proxy server settings is set port to bind to 443. I removed  the port 80 site proxy (with a config for port 80 and 443 it didn't work). You have to enter the file name only for certificate files (with full path it will search for /usr/local/apache22/etc/usr/local/apache22/etc/cert_file according to the log) So i think there is a typo in the path they given under the option. You have to put your certificate files in /usr/local/etc/apache22/ instead of /usr/local/apache22/etc/ When you add full path name apache will not run and there is no proxy at all. You must not add a port forward in the NAT Greetings.

    @CIPB: It's always worth discussing in order to see what can be worked out. Possibilities: Allowing pfBlocker devs occasional access to freshen up the lists in pfBlocker. Allowing individual pfBlocker users to register w/ CIPB and receive some sort of list access in return. Allowing pfBlocker to regain it's former access to CIPB lists, in trade for publishing a CIPB logo/badge on the pfBlocker tab/page in pfSense. (Probably needs approval by marcello/tommyboy and/or others) That's what I have off the top of my head.

    Thanks a lot for the hint regarding the conf/config.xml . I did not know pfsense can be configured with the help of only this file :O and that it is versioned automatically (now i have also found the corresponding backup/restore option in the web interface). Had a whole bunch of old config files and after reseting to factory defaults i could again connect to the web-interface and from there (what i really liked) load one of the old configs from which i knew they worked. Great!

    @SeventhSon: Looks cool, might be handy in some situations :) If you hacked it into pfSense, can you give us an idea what you needed to do to get it running? sure but its standard stuff.. 1. log into via ssh,  drop to the cli 2. type:  setenv PACKAGESITE http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/Latest/ 3. type: pkg_add -r xymon-client then you can configure it. -g

    @jimp: Try this: uninstall, then from the shell: pkg_delete -f snort* pcre* Then try to reinstall. I checked the version of PCRE on the package server, and the one required by snort is built for amd64 so I'm not sure how you'd have pulled in the wrong one.

    The minimum pfSense version required for Squid is now 2.0.n I guess that the 1.2.3 package installer code doesn't have the code to check that, so it let you install it. The code in squid.inc is checking for version "2.0" to use pkg install dir names, it assumes that if you are not on 2.0.n that you are on a later version e.g. 2.1-BETA0 which uses pbi installer. So you are getting those messages about it trying to find dirs with "pbi" in the name. I would advise installing pfSense 2.0.1 and then install packages…

    Bumping this thread. I updated to 2.1-dev from 2.0.1 a couple of days ago. Using AMD64 build with the latest packages. Snort won't start with the configuration I had setup from before. Error message is the FATAL ERROR: Failed to initialize dynamic preprocessor: SF_DNS (IPV6) version 1.1.4 (-2) which definitely means it's having an issue with the IPv6 part of "Enable DNS Detection" preprocessor. Only catch is that if you disable the preprocessor, it's not actually disabling it. Steps to reproduce: Create a new snort interface (Defaults are fine) enable snort. Everything works fine. Disable snort. Edit the interface, go to the preprocessors tab, check the box for "Enable DNS Detection" and save the changes Try enabling snort again, and it crashes with the error message. Edit the interface, go to the preprocessors tab, uncheck the box for "Enable DNS Detection" and save the changes Try to start snort again, and the error message still appears. You can keep creating new rules and they will keep working as long as you don't enable that preprocessor. I was able to enable the HTTP inspect one, need to test the others yet.

    Thanks marcelloc, I've looked at the ipguard xml in addition to squid and spamd. In the ipguard xml, the only difference appears to be the format (I've seen both formats out there so I assume both are valid). <configpath>['installedpackages']['syslogngobjects']['config']</configpath> VS. <configpath>installedpackages->package->ipguard</configpath> Is my understanding correct, that I can provide a custom configpath (one that differs from the name of the syslogng_advanced.xml file) and expect pfSense to put the config in the respective area of the config.xml file?
