    @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.

    @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.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    @marcelloc: @Petrus4: in the future I will be leaving out this package during bare-metal restore and will re-install it after I have restored my system. I'll do this way for all packages(remove, restore config/firwmare upgrade/reinstall packages)… Pfblocker uses url table alias lists published on local web server, if it tries to load alias from webserver that is not up, the fetch connections waits a lot (maybe your 5 minutes issue) before timeout. Ah well that makes sense..  i was reading somewhere that is best to install packages before the config restore .. but what you are doing makes more sense to me.

    Further update: Squid is working in transparent mode!!! Also, i got bandwidthd and lightsquid are working. I must mention that i tried WITHOUT success to get bandwidthd work on brdige mode. Meanwhile, lightsquid did not work in my previous configuration obviously because transparent squid was not working. So i was glad to get it working so mi can now say that: pfsense in bridge mode + bandwidthd = BROKEN pfsense in bridge mode + lightsquid = BROKEN Next step: Configure client-to-site VPN Install and configure other packages including squidguard, snort, ntop, etc. Connect the production LAN through the pfsense Report back to the forum  ;D Well that will be on monday,18/3/2013.

    That was good to block a host for 7 days.  The setting in Snort @ Global Settings never updates this to the actual requested time setting.  You should be good now for blocked hosts to be removed after one hour.  Just be sure to stop the Snort service, delete any current blocked hosts, and then restart Snort.

    I have been following that thread.  I tend to agree with the findings there. All I'm trying to do is make the kid's Wii work with the Netflix "channel" on it.  I find I'm adding exception after exception with multiple whitelists and what I thought would work, doesn't.  Frustrating.  I have to find a better way.

    Alright. Painful as it was I did a fresh, clean install.  Installed squid (not squid3), then snort and finally Dansguardian.  I also  rebooted between each package install.  The Dans GUI didn't show up on the webconfigurator menu so I then reinstalled the GUI portion.  All good now.  Thx for the assistance.

    CP on pfsense 2.0.x does not support encrypted passwords in freeradius users file because it is using PAP as authentication method. If I remember correct there were some changes on pfsense 2.1 CP but not sure. In general it is not neccessary that the passwords are encrypted on freeradius as long as noone has access to pfsense. I implemented this feature because a user asked if it would be possible: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,43675.msg297759.html#msg297759 Don't know why and in which environment he wants to use this.
