    @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.

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.

    @jimp said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: While we do not deliberately break such configurations, if you install a package from unsupported repositories and they replace or mess with base system dependencies, then there is no telling what will break over time like this. Understood - thank you very much for the clarification. I need crowdsec though... and there are no official support yet. I don't mind reinstalling the system, it takes reasonable amount of time, unless I found netinstaller fails to connect to my pppoe which tripled the time of restoration. For that I have no explanation and it is obviously not related to the dependencies, but that's offtopic in this thread.

    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.

    @mschiek01: I brought this up to them yesterday.  They indicated that the ph ruleset no longer applies as it rolled into the other ruleset.  The snort package will be updated to remove this link. thanks mschiek01! I haven't updated my ruleset in 3 days since its been stable for me.. Guess when I do another re-install or a rule update, it will be missing

    Problem is solved. We installed an Apache Server on HAVP and send the blocking information via the external block page function to this. You can transfer blocking information via the informations e.g. #        %a=client_address #        %n=client_name #        %i=client_user #        %s=client_group #        %t=target_group #        %u=client_url"

    Thank you for your direction! I have successfully set up the proxy but now I can only access http traffic and after 3 hours of searching for an answer and reading several posts my mind is locking up again. Why can I hit http traffic but when I try gmail it locks up I have a lan rule that will allow access to 443 that is set by the auto config and i have tried to set a separate rule which will pass requests from pfsense on port 3128 to wan address on port 443 and I have tried to just set up any lan traffic to port 443 and I still cant access gmail when I am using the proxy. Any Ideas? Modification - I can be a bonehead sometimes, I didn't set firefox to use the same proxy settings. All is working, now I will need to figure out WPAD served from another internal server! Thank you for your help.

    This package does work now..however I could not stop the service.  It says it's stopped, but blocking continues.  You can stop the interfaces, but not the service via the dashboard. To add SNORT HTTP_inspect suppression, (which ends up blocking pfsense.org if not added) I had to reboot the server.  However, because pfsense.org was blocked, I ended up having the SQUID update fail partway through.  On reboot…the PFSENSE install was damaged, so could shell in, but routing was broken.  Ack. Therefore fresh reinstall required....just a heads up!  :-)

    this only works for one user particularly squid, i did this setup and it works flawlessly but when im using another account it doesnt work @hugleo: First I had to edit the file: /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc and add the -R parameter to the line: original: $conf .= "auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/squid/squid_ldap_auth -v {$settings['ldap_version']} -b {$settings['ldap_basedomain']} -D {$settings['ldap_user']} $password -f "{$settings['ldap_filter']}" -u {$settings['ldap_userattribute']} -P {$settings['auth_server']}$port\n"; edited: $conf .= "auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/squid/squid_ldap_auth -R -v {$settings['ldap_version']} -b {$settings['ldap_basedomain']} -D {$settings['ldap_user']} $password -f "{$settings['ldap_filter']}" -u {$settings['ldap_userattribute']} -P {$settings['auth_server']}$port\n"; Next follow up my pfsense configuration and observations: Authentication method: LDAP LDAP version: 3 Authentication server: 192.168.1.1 Authentication server port: 389 LDAP server user DN: "cn=squid squid,cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com" (I'd need to use double quoted. I've created a squid user on my active directory server. On active directory I've used squid word for name, surname and user login) LDAP password: my_squid_user_password LDAP base domain: dc=mydomain,dc=com (I've no need to use double quotes) LDAP username DN attribute: (I left blank) LDAP search filter: sAMAccountName=squid I hope this experience helps someone!

    It was rule not nat. I don't belive nat allows wan ip address in rules. It works great and it had cutdown on spam. I am running it on x550e and var is in ram. Is there a way to incerease size of var or postfix would benefit from its own ram drive. It seems that when var fills up and /var/spool/postix is smaller than assigned email size postfix will not relay messages. I had to decrease email size from 30 mb to 20 mb. So if var fillsup with logs and stuff postfix stops working.
