    Hi, I had a problem with my home network today, so I checked pfsense and discovered that suricata had blocked the wan ip. After some tests and triggering some suricata alerts, the wan ip was blocked. I restarted pfsense and ran some more tests, but the problem no longer occurred. I then checked the wan interface settings and indeed the ip list does not include the wan ip, both now that it's working and before, when it was blocked. I'm using pfsense 2.8.0 and suricata 7.0.8_2. I use PPPoE to access the Internet.

    @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.

    Ran into this issue today as well running on 25.07.1 with pfblockerNG-devel 3.2.7. Followed the steps outlined in this thread to edit the pfblockerng.sh file, then deleted/force reloaded all the lists, and all was well again. Thank you everyone in this thread for your your help and great instructions.

    @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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix.

    Hi all, I wanted to share that I’m also experiencing issues with Tailscale (v1.86.4) on the latest pfSense CE (v2.8.0). After either a pfSense reboot or a Tailscale service restart, my node is logged out of Tailscale — exactly as many of you have described here. It bothered me enough that I opened a support ticket with the Tailscale team. I explained the problem, included details, and linked this thread as a reference. The good news is that support responded quickly and said they’re setting up a pfSense VM to reproduce the issue. In the meantime, they suggested a workaround: “Based on the behavior described here and in the thread, it looks like the auth key used for authentication may be expiring. Since OAuth clients don’t expire, switching to an OAuth Client rather than an Auth Key might resolve this. See our docs here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1215/oauth-clients#registering-new-nodes-using-oauth-credentials I tested this, and after configuring Tailscale with OAuth, everything worked! Tailscale now stays connected and authenticated even after a reboot or service restart. That said, I did tell support that while OAuth solves the issue, it used to work out of the box with the simpler interactive login / auth key flow. Something seems to have changed on the Tailscale side, and I hope they identify and fix it. But until then, the OAuth workaround is a solid fix. I’d love to hear how it’s working for the rest of you. Anyone else try OAuth yet? Cheers

    I figured out the issue. I missed adding the 3rd locations Lan to the static routing. Now all is working perfect.

    Hi, you can test with freebsd original package at http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/latest/All/ or in older realeases at http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/ search for squid. and pkg install …. I use this method for revert Quagga package 11.0_2 to 0.99.16. And we use this package only with vtysh console on PFsense. it's possible that PFsense squid GUI package not working after that. Backup your conf ! Bertrand

    This is a firewall. Do not install packages or run scripts from other sources on it. That is a giant security nightmare. You have no way to verify that those packages are secure or properly built from trustworthy sources.

    The original subject of this thread has been solved. For help with squid, create a new post in the Cache/Proxy board and ask there if you still have questions or problems.

    The way that the Quagga OSPF package is written it assumes a basic, working configuration (interface, RID, area) has been deployed via the GUI. I've done a dummy config and then used the raw config fields to do whatever i want after that.

    The bundled horrible FreeRADIUS certificate manager (defaulting to MD5) has been removed from the package (starting with 1.7.8). Configuring proper certificates in the pfSense Cert Manager is a required configuration step now. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7170 https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/334 There is no way to migrate the old config if you were not using the pfSense cert manager before, you simply need to do the work yourself. Probably might put some file_notice() and/or install message before 2.4 is released.

    The workaround is to use what's used by the package. No such manual messing is supported.

    In the mean time, what NMS package would read the RRD data?  Most everything I see monitors via SNMP.  We use PRTG which grabs SNMP information but since the routers already log the info I'd rather just read them for continuity and accuracy.

    It's a basic web development operation. some hosts with A records point to digital ocean VPS, some development sites trickle down the local subnet and get port forwarded to boxes in the LAN. Those lan boxes need a local DNS record because the external DO dns record points to the router, not the local IP. www.domain.com > A record > DO dev.domain.com > CNAME > home network plex.home.dev > local A record 10.5.5.2 > home network * * * So it's a combination… I have lots of local stuff, that's not public, and DNS is easier that setting up hosts file on every machine. The problem with dns crashing still happened today with the DNS Resolver. Is there anything I can do to remedy this situation, and still keep my VPN clients active. I would prefer to have DNS and encrypted WAN.

    Hi, revengineer Just wanted to say thank you very much for your help. I tried it late last night and its worked perfectly. I tried /dev/cuaU0 just as you said and it worked. I had tried all the ports before but i dont think at the time i had set the panel to lkd so i wonder if that did not help. Im now hoping the get the keyboard options in LCD proc to work. Hopefully it will be just normal keyboard keys that it uses so i can just make get a little micro controller to imitate a usb keyboard and send the right ascii codes. Thanks again Trev
