    Ìam trying to use dynamic templates ([server-template] (https://www.haproxy.com/blog/dns-service-discovery-haproxy)) but pfSense names the servers unexpectedly [image: 1754569386169-3d2b5842-fb36-4e70-b305-a99d0ca4b9f1-image.png] I did expect these to be generated at runtime after an actual request (providing a hostname that is internally resolved to an internal IP) "Internet" says pfsense does not support this in their HA package - but the haproxy.cfg looks alright - so iam not sure where the problem lies. so to get server-template i need to set 0.0.0.0 in pfSense GUI) as IP, but HA configuration guides says i need to set _domain.topdomain as address for the template to work dynamically

    @Gertjan Whenever it is a full hour I see stuff like this in my logs: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/ip/94.16.122.152 It seems to be time servers but it's a TOR node and some private person hosting traefik? I feel like this should not show up? It originates from my ASUS access point. But it is also related to when the emerging threats get updated. All happens at the full hour mark. I don't know why some random private persons ntp server gets queried.

    @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.

    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

    Just adding my experiences onto this issue. TLDR; can confirm that the proposed method worked for me. I was seeing not only this issue, but also "Unable to check for updates" in all update-related sections of the Web UI. My update branch was pointing at 2.7.0-RELEASE, but my system was reporting 2.6.0 and the whole system seemed mildly hosed despite still functioning. After following the recommendations here by pointing the branch to 2.6.0-RELEASE, then connecting via SSH to bootstrap the package system, I had this: /root: pkg bootstrap -f The package management tool is not yet installed on your system. Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_6_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_6_0, please wait... Verifying signature with trusted certificate pkg.pfsense.org.20160406... done pkg-static: warning: database version 36 is newer than libpkg(3) version 35, but still compatible Installing pkg-1.17.5_4... package pkg is already installed, forced install Extracting pkg-1.17.5_4: 100% Following that, I tried to run an update via the Web UI, but it said the system is up to date. The branch was now pointing at 2.6.0-DEPRECATED or something like that. I switched the branch back to 2.7.0-RELEASE, and checked for updates via the Web UI again. This time, it looked correct and listed 2.7.0 as an upgrade path. I then carried out a full update. After a nerve-racking 5-minute reboot, pfSense came back online and appears to be operating correctly.

    @bmeeks what's funny is the .11 version works perfectly for me on 23.05.01. I always thought it was my custom AppID stuff until you told me the real reason. I would love a new Netgate appliance that could utilize inline mode and get .SO rules. My wife won't let me until this one dies. I also can't get my 2100 to update to 23.09. But I secretly like ARM too

    @saidin Ok, I found out this thread. https://forum.netgate.com/topic/184195/upgrade-pfsense-ce-2-7-0-to-2-7-1 and applied the temporary fix described here https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting, which is to apply certctl rehash Later, I confirmed that I am using my correct branch in System --> Update --> Update Settings and I was able to install the packages that I needed. Thanks

    Yes, please start your own new thread. The original issue here is 100% confirmed to be resolved so if you are hitting something similar it has to be a different cause.

    @SteveITS I agree in terms of the function. It seems to work with other tools like Suricata or pfBlocker but with similar functionality. I'm willing to give it a shot once its available officially tho. Could be interesting.

    @slu said in Restore missing FreeRADIUS config: same problem after the upgrade to 0.15.10_1 today Hmmm, rereading https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14806, if the issue happens on uninstall, that would always be the "old" package and therefore the issue is going to affect everyone until after they get on 0.15.10_1. :(

    Oof, this wiped out my FreeRADIUS config as well. Did a full restore from a manual backup and a reboot. Thank goodness for backups. Can this FreeRADIUS security issue get some love? I deleted all my users (1 user for each phone, iPad, laptop, etc.) to test it, and they're all still able to connect. Using EAP-TLS. That checkbox basically does nothing. Thanks Check Client Certificate CN Validate the Client Certificate Common Name When enabled, the Common Name of the client certificate must match the username set in 'FreeRADIUS > Users'. (Default: Unchecked)

    @bigtfromaz Agreed. I'm also looking for a way to monitor logs, and potentially send out notifications on abnormal connections, eg. Connection from a previously unseen country, etc. So far the only remote solution would be: https://github.com/MindFlavor/prometheus_wireguard_exporter I don't feel like installing additional software on my router, but on the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a way to monitor these logs externally. Please let me know if you find anything interesting.
