    @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.

    @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.

    @andrebrait will you be able to rebase pfblockerng-adblock-clean on top of devel in the foreseeable future? I have been able to make use of patches until I upgraded to 25.07-RELEASE. The conflicts are deep. Oddly the pfblockerNG-devel package is 3.2.7 despite the current refs having 3.2.9 in the Makefile.

    @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.

    SOLVED. Turns out nothing wrong with my tunnel setup and not due to CGNAT. The reason PING works and other traffic doesn't is due to packet size and MTU. Something on the wireless network means that the default MTU doesn't work, forcing a smaller MTU to 1280 on pfSenseB fixed this. This Reddit thread has more details of this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/qmsa2n/ping_works_but_sites_arent_loading/

    Yeah, Issue #1 is the main problem I've been having, next would be Issue #1 whitelisted machines getting blocked. Issue #1 Each change or update to the config modifies snort.conf and ,/32 is added to the HOME_NET variable, then snort fails to start, manual modifcation to change it to reflect the hosts IP is required (i.e. 10.0.1.2/32) then restart of snort Issue #2 Snort is blacklisting whitelisted IPs, (namely my DNS servers and an additional server in my DMZ. This may be something I have to work out on my own, but as stated my setup is WiFi Router (external IP #1 Cable Modem–-----Hub----<                                         pfSense/Snotr(external IP #2 Snort picks up traffic between the WiFi router (ext IP #1) and things like my DNS servers. this is where I get the error (snort_decoder) WARNING: ICMP Original IP Fragmented and Offset Not 0! [ ** ]  03/06-21:50:51.235361 [[b]External IP #1] -> [[b]DNS server] ICMP TTL:64 TOS:0x0 ID:19164 IpLen:20 DgmLen:56 DF Type:3 Code:3 DESTINATION UNREACHABLE: PORT UNREACHABLE ** ORIGINAL DATAGRAM DUMP: Should I just add an additional NIC to pfSense, and rather then go inet,hub,split.. go Inet-> pfSense… thus bridging WAN to OPT1 and OPT2 on pfSense, and plug in my WiFi router into OPT2, giving it full * accesss... ( I don't wanna block anything for WiFi, I want full open access.) Only think is, snort will still function on that network as I'm listening on WAN... Could I listen on OPT1 instead? or would snort still function? [snort] OPT1 - Internal network I.e.  inet -> pfsense WAN <                                       OPT2 - DMZ WiFi or would that work? Rather then                           OPT1 - Internal network inet WAN [snort] <                           OPT2 - WiFi DMZ

    I've had success doing exactly what you are trying.  Not sure where you're going wrong.  I just double checked my config and added a new allowed site by IP, it worked, take it out of the whitelist, it blocked it. The only other thing I could suggest would be to make sure that the WebConfigurator is using https so as not to use port 80 at the same time that Squid needs it. Make sure you're running the latest snapshot and build of the package, good luck.

    You can install packages from the ports collection (see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3881.msg23723.html#msg23723 ) but we don't recommend it nor do we support it. pfSense is a firewall and should not run desktop like applications.

    There is no pfSense package for this yet. Everything else is unsupported though you might be able to hack it in.

    I am going to review the code shortly, since I have seen this issue as well. For some reason, in order for snort performance settings to take effect, you have to click save twice under Snort settings.

    Depending on the version you run you see more or less packages (some packages need yu to be at a special version). openntpd should be there. However siproxd is broken afaik and is hidden atm.

    @rafael.cardoso: I need help with one trouble, squid works now and very thanks for job to do its possible, but i have one site www.caixa.com.br, this site has problems when its cached, how to do for dont cache or passing from squid this or more sites? It´s possible, in linux iptables the option is -d, pfsense has something like that?  ??? Hello Rafael, I dont understand your question. In the "cache management" tab you can enter domainnames or IP addresses which will not be cached. Enter www.caixa.com.br there and this side should not be cached. xabbu

    I think there have been reports in the past that some of the rules can cause issues if enabled (either meaning they eat lot of mem or whatever). Maybe try to uncheck some rules and add them back one by one. I have snort running on a 1U server with 1.2GB with no issues.

    So it isn´t possible just to add two ACl lists to the code of Squid? Something like: acl semirestricted_hosts src "/var/squid/acl/semirestricted_hosts.acl" acl semirestrictedlist dstdom_regex -i "/var/squid/acl/semiwhite.acl" acl lessrestricted_hosts src "/var/squid/acl/lessrestricted_hosts.acl" acl lessrestrictedlist dstdom_regex -i "/var/squid/acl/lesswhite.acl" Then further in the code I give them access I can´t figure out how to do that? I am trying to give for each part of the company a different permission to the internet. ANY help is welcome…. Johny
