    @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 Clarify "it makes sense if the GEOIP DB has that size" are you referencing the asn data as I have shown or the maxmind data? the asn data takes all of 15 seconds to download and process. Not really any "magic" going on there, you can see the mmdb is only a download referenced and the asn.csv.gz is basically just unzipped. I can't comment on the maxmind data specifically because I don't use for my geo location. But I can see what the code should be doing. seeing your actual log file will help determine where your specific spike may be coming from, but if I had to guess from looking at the code and my timing with respect to the asn parts of it I would guess this is most likely to be an issue with the maxmind parts - timing should be in the log. can you change when it runs ? no, not directly, there is no way to do this without changing the code to target a specific time when it creates the cron job in the first place. No you can't change the timing of the cron job and have it stick, it will eventually just go random again. On the other hand, yes, because I changed the code here so it always creates the same "not so random" time.. runnning at same time every day since this code change first became available in the pfblockerNG update for 24.11 that came out months ago, well before 25.07 curious you originally said "noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pfb 3.2.7" were you running the "new" format of asn data before? (would have only been possible if you upgraded from 24.11 with the latest version of pfb installed) you would have entered and ASN key at some point to make it work. did you do that under the prior version and just now with 25.07) it's likely not significant, but then again .... That likely won't help your spike, other than moving it to a different time. I moved it here to a static ("not so random") time for other reasons, nothing to do with system load at the time.. Log files would be helpful. (just the snippet that applies to this time, from extras, error and pfblockerng logs there may be nothing in error or pfblockerng related to the time it is running. .

    @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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    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.

    You might have set 'block offenders'. This option currently seems to break snort, at least for me. Try to disable the option to automatically block offenders and see if snort starts normally.

    Hi, I'm also interested in being able to send email messages from my pfsense. Since the pfsense webconfigurator already has configured a MTA with servername, addresses and authentication etc, I thought that everything needed were there and it was only a matter of knowing the commands and parameters to be able to send messages? I don't mind using any command interpreter if I only know the syntax to use.  (Message subject, Message body and Send it…) regards Tor

    Ok it seems my problem was that both squid and DG were bound to the lan IP address. I set squid to listen on loopback and then started it manually. My final problem now though is that when I reboot the box, I need to manually start squid from the command line and then all is well not sure why that is. It should start automatically.

    We had some reports of breakage for ntop on NanoBSD so it was disabled. ntop is pretty heavy in terms of footprint on the media, RAM, etc, so it didn't make a lot of sense to put a lot of effort into fixing it there. If you have a bunch of routers, you are probably better off having them send netflow data to a central collection server so you can view them from a central database, rather than having to login to each router individually.

    @mwargo: If I happened to catch version 0.9.8, how can I uninstall?  When I try to remove the package I get stuck at "Loading package instructions. . . " Removing package… Starting package deletion for p7zip-9.13...done. Starting package deletion for zip-3.0...done. Removing OpenVPN Client Export Utility components... Tabs items... done. Loading package instructions... I have let this sit for over an hour, but nothing seems to happen. You can rm /usr/local/pkg/openvpnexport*  and then reinstall.

    Varnish supports only http. If you need https then try first squid-reverse. If you need speed and reduce server load on your http servers, use varnish.

    There are no "execve" or other nasty messages in the squid, squidguard or system logs. SquidGuard somehow just seems to "forget" to respond to SIGALRM. I looked in the Squid source ipc.c - ipcCreate function does the creation of helper processes like SquidGuard. It does ordinary fork() and execvp(prog,args) calls to make a child process and switch it to the required program. There's nothing special there that stands out to me that would prevent the child process from having SIGALRM work. But somehow it works interactively but not when a child process of Squid. I am still trying to work out what the difference could be in the process environment.

    Canefield, Here is how i configured the Reverse settings tab for my setup: Reverse Proxy interface: loopback  (could be your WAN, but I setup a NAT Port-forward rule) external FQDN: FQDN that will resolve the public IP, example your WAN IP Enable HTTP reverse mode: checked reverse HTTP port: 9080  (could be 80 but the NAT Port-forward rule will direct traffic from port 80 to 9080) peer definitions : HOST_SERVER1;192.168.0.150;80;HTTP HOST_SERVER2;192.168.0.100;80;HTTP HOST_SERVER3;192.168.0.50;80;HTTP HOST_SERVER4;192.168.0.10;80;HTTP URI definitions: WEBAPP_SERVER1;;http://host1.domain.net WEBAPP_SERVER1;;http://host2.domain.net WEBAPP_SERVER1;;http://host3.domain.net WEBAPP_SERVER2;;http://host1.domain2.com WEBAPP_SERVER2;;http://box.domain2.net WEBAPP_SERVER2;;http://boxone.domain2.net WEBAPP_SERVER2;;http://domain2.net WEBAPP_SERVER2;;http://..domain2.net    (wildcard for host names) WEBAPP_SERVER3;;http://domain3.net WEBAPP_SERVER4;*;http://domain4.net ACL definitions: HOST_SERVER1;WEBAPP_SERVER1 HOST_SERVER2;WEBAPP_SERVER2 HOST_SERVER3;WEBAPP_SERVER3 HOST_SERVER4;WEBAPP_SERVER4 create a NAT rule: interface WAN Protocol  TCP DEST: WAN Address DEST Port: 80 Redirect IP: 127.0.0.1 Redirect Port: 9080 Filter rule association: Create associated filter rule I haven't tried https, but see if you can get http to work first… Maybe someone else can help with HTTPS... Like I said before, LB options aren't built into the GUI from what I can tell but its probably in the works(I hope anyways) Hope this helps Stephen

    I'll look into this. At the moment the Country data is static on Country IP Block. Country IP Ranges don't change enough to cause this app to pull dynamic data. There are times when the country data is updated but that's only about every 6 months. In the mean time focus has moved from Country Block to pfBlocker, FYI.

    Hi Zach, I know this is a late reply but thought I'd complete the thread in case someone else is looking for the same info… ;D You can set a Cron job to auto update blacklists. The process is described here: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,35479.0.html :)
