    @pulsartiger The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat. With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @Gertjan s7.vonderste.in resolves to 94.16.122.152. I just saw a dns request for that. In the whitelist on OTX Alienvault there is a timeserver: 3.de.pool.ntp.org I just don't know why a timeserver runs on a TOR node and seems to be hosted by a private person. Maybe pfblocker resolves it incorrectly becaues the time server is hosted on the same IP? Anyway I see this coming from my ASUS router which is in Access Point mode. These weird domains always come up every hour and I think they are related to ntp on that ASUS router. Since I disconnected it it has stopped. Here is an example of what I see. Scanning these IPs shows nothing malicious but who knows. 93.122.215.85.in-addr.arpa,192.168.1.8,sonne.floppy.org,unk 94.244.38.46.in-addr.arpa,192.168.1.8,basilisk.mybb.de What didn't stop was on my work computer these weird replies as mentioned above. reply,A,NSEC,1081,domaincontroller-gPHvwjYS.local,192.168.1.86,NXDOMAIN,unk But it only happend once today instead of multiple times like the days before. @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Where - what log - did you find that URL (DNS only deals with host names) ? I find them in pfblockerNG dns_reply log under Logs EDIT: I just realized that it is kind of in the name pool.ntp.org its made up of multiple sources so it does make sense that it resolves some of these weird private hosts?

    @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

    @ahking19 I chose the free version of OPNsense. I had already tested pfsense CE in the past. I had to switch to pfsense+ because the CE version was not compatible with my equipment. I didn't want to waste time on that. And in principle, I do not accept the fact that Pfsense+ became chargeable for home use, even though it was announced to be free. the price is excessively expensive…

    Why don't you just disable that rule instead? It is an ET Policy rule. Those are usually used just for notification or to enforce some corporate policy. You've discovered that it is falsely triggering in your network due to the VPN traffic (a false positive), so just disable it. Click the red X under the GID:SID column in the ALERTS tab.

    @bmeeks : Ok. So I disabled and unassigned the WAN Sort interface. Then copied it back to the newly unused WAN interface, enabled and started it and...... IT WORKED!!! I'm getting Alerts and its generating blocks as before the upgrade! Same name as before, but apparently an internal interface mapping in Snort was still looking for the old WAN interface id. Thanks!!!

    @dennypage i think that because of the package that can be seen by pfsense and openwrt_b and esphome_dashbord in vlan_iot and openwrt_b can reflect/re-create the package to vlan_server well, there is no problem with the openvpn or firewall rules. for now i think i will just use avahi in my openwrt_b.

    Release notes for IDS/IPS package upgrades are usually posted in the IDS/IPS subforum here on the Netgate Forums. Here is a link to the Release Notes post for Snort 4.1.6_15: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/186417/new-snort-package-v4-1-6_15-update-release-notes. Since my native (and unfortunately, only) language is English, I post the release notes for both Snort and Suricata in English in the IDS/IPS sub-forum located here: https://forum.netgate.com/category/53/ids-ips.

    @mathais said in speedtest-cli ERROR: Unable to connect to servers to test latency.: @Gertjan Thank you, so you removed speedtest-cli ? I have openvpn configured on my pfsense and all my IPV4 traffic pass through the VPN . All traffic? Even video&music streaming? Why??? Do you know another tool for testing my internet speed ? Saying “internet speed” what EXACTLY You mean: uplink to ISP, between Your pfSense and certain server, between Your device(s) and certain server? Check all cables, connected speed on NIC, no collisions and errors on interfaces. 2. SWITCH ON RACK/QUICK congestion control (CC) in FreeBSD. 3. DISABLE OFFLOADING on NICs - nowadays this have no sens. 4. DISABLE POWER MANAGEMENT on motherboard (off CPU Threading, CPU power states, PCI & NICs power mgmt, etc…) 5. only now test by Speedtest Fast Librespeed iperf3 Your UPLINK (of course no any other net activity on pfSense would be). After that You have: maximum possible on certain moment from Your hardware & FreeBSD drivers; measurements from nearest and far servers (not very accurate because workload time of the day and loading of certain server); Better to automate this by Smokeping (on the pfSense device itself) OR Prometheus+Grafana on separate server (but agent on pfSense). With alerting on Pushover by API or email.

    FreeRADIUS sync interfaces

    @Trey said in FreeRADIUS sync interfaces: Hi all, the new sync method is synchronising everything from freeradius. This destroyed our freeradius setup in multiple branches, as it overwrote all interfaces and all eap certificates in every sync host. We have about 7 branches with the freeradius deamon running and used the sync to sync only users and NAS/clients. Was this change really intended? For me this is more a bug as a feature… Could someone clarify this? Thanks for your help If you used a common CA and Radius certificate (same thumbprint) across the different pfSense boxes, and created only a 127.0.0.1 interface in Radius, would it then not work again? You would obviously need to create a NAT rule for ports 1812/1813 on the interfaces where Radius should be present (pointing to 127.0.0.1)

    @viragomann @viragomann said in Using HAProxy to redirect, but not to load balance: But do the printers check the host name at all, or do they only simply listen on IP and port? The printers are connected to the Pi with a USB cable. They don't deal with IP at all. What does deal with anything like that is the slicer when I use it to upload to OctoPrint to print, but that's something I expected to have to deal with. Sounds like the configuration is pretty much the same as what I had to do on the Pi I was using for printing and shouldn't be too hard. Thanks - and thank you for not going into why to just use the names I give each host instead!
