    @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 That is normal - the download of the GeoIP asn data is randomized (once when the system is setup) Why it runs at different times on different boxes. When you schedule pfblocker to run at 2:00 all the ASN files are then already local and not downloaded again. Put it another way, the older version would download every ASN file, every time, pfblocker ran an update via cron. so if you ran pfblocker hourly, you would be downloading ASN data file for your selected ASNs every time it ran the cron job ran. Now the download only happens once (at the preselected randomized time) and you get every ASN available ) You can run the pfblolcker cron updates as many times as you like and they will not download anything (Geo /ASN) related. it will just update those lists from the local data. You can even add a "new" ASN to your selection, and it will already be available. on a 2100 this ASN database download (as you noted is logged in the extras.log) takes all of 15 seconds here. I would likely never see a CPU hit specifically related to this download. Download Process Starting [ 08/14/25 07:45:01 ] /usr/local/share/GeoIP/asn.mmdb 200 OK /usr/local/share/GeoIP/asn.csv.gz 200 OK ASN Lookup Table has been updated [ 08/14/25 07:45:05 ] Download Process Ended [ 08/14/25 07:45:16 ]

    @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.

    No one can help me!?   I read somewhere that the DG favors the exception list in relation to banned list, it is impossible to block a host eg "chatenabled.mail.google.com" with proxy? I can lock in squidGuard but my problem is that i work with AD groups with names over 16 characters and squidGuard does not accept the name of the ACL more than that.

    I think you have to configure it on lighthttp.conf file instead of .htaccess http://blog.lighttpd.net/articles/2005/11/25/simplify-your-configfiles-with-includes http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/repository/entry/branches/lighttpd-1.4.x/doc/config/lighttpd.conf If it's not an old post, this may help too http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2320797

    OK, Thanks for the reply. I feel a bit silly :-[ I must have fixed the problem at some point but forgot about Google Chrome cache (It was late I was tired ;)). This morning I looked at the problem with fresh eyes, click refresh page and it all worked in Chrome.

    Looks like the issue was with IE. Now I need to find a way to restrict proxy changing on FF or Chrome. (With IE I just restricted the "connection" tab with GPO, but they can still access this tab from Chrome, thanks for the great security, microsoft…).

    Are you rotating logs after sarg run? If so, lightsquid will not find any log to report.

    There isn't a way to use a custom config if you install it via the GUI. You could just install the binaries (via pkg_add from the shell) and your custom config and such if you like, but if the GUI components are installed it will overwrite the config any time it syncs packages. Even if there was a custom config option in the GUI, configuring via the vty wouldn't save the changes back to pfSense's package config, it would only save the changes on the disk to the config file of quagga.
