    @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.

    @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: its made up of multiple sources so it does make sense that it resolves some of these weird private hosts An public NTP pool like pool.ntp.org would not list host names with weird random paddings that reference local devices. "domaincontroller-gPHvwjYS.local,192.168.1.86" is a reverse PTR, and is requested by one of your local devices. Why , I don't know. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: I find them in pfblockerNG dns_reply log under Logs No URLs there, only host names.

    @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

    Hiya, Thanks for the reply and I hope you could assist me a bit further. Here is my setup zabbix server                pfsense main firewall                        pfsense another site 192.168.0.31                    192.168.0.251 (Local)                        192.168.20.250(local)                                 192.168.23.251 ( different vlans)            this is linked to 192.168.23.0/24 vlan There are multiple vlans on the main firewall some connection to other remote pfsense firewalls. So my question is on the remote pfsense, I install the zabbix client. In the client  setting, I will put the following : server:192.168.20.251 server Active:192.168.20.251:10050 Hostname:(name of firewall) Listen IP:0.0.0.0 listen port:10050 refresh active checks:120 timeout:3 buffer send:5 buffer size:100 start agents:3 On the main pfsense install the settings for the proxy is : Proxy settings server:192.168.0.31 server port:10051 hostname:(Proxyname) Mode Active: yes config frequency:3600 On the Zabbix server I created a proxy called (Proxyname) and then added the remote pfsense as a client but I do not get any results. On the remote pfsense agent logs is as follows: 6469:20130211:090609.894 Got signal [signal:15(SIGTERM),sender_pid:55456,sender_uid:0,reason:65537].

    Mostly "If it isn't broke, don't fix it" but if you encounter a problem, first thing to try is a firmware update to a recent snapshot. Or an update once a month or every couple weeks is OK too. Difficult to generalize it really since it depends on the features you use and what work has been done on those since the last update that was done.

    If you are trying to do this with automatic outbound nat howto's on the forum, it can be frustrating getting it to work, but I managed to get it going out both WAN's last night. First off make sure you dont have "Sticky connections" enabled, this was the prime reason why I noticed all my http traffic was only going out my primary wan, secondary wan was not utilised at all. Also when I created the floating rule, I chose [action:pass | quick:ticked | interface:wan1:wan2 | direction:out | protocol:tcp | destination port range:HTTP | gateway:MultiWan] In my firewall rule for the proxied interface, i.e LAN I created a default rule that passed all traffic to 'Gateway':MultiWan. Maybe the above LAN rule does'nt need to be set as your multiwan and can be just default gateway, as the floating 'quick' rule catches it before hand, also make sure you reset states and restart squid. If you have setup up squid correctly then it should work with the above notes/tips. Hope this helps anyone who had a frustrating time trying to get this to work :0)

    You might be best off looking into something like freenas or commercial solutions such as those offered by synology. pfSense is a firewall with some options for IDS and UTM, but it probably will never be a download station.

    I went through the backup and restore process, but there was nothing to clean up in the XML file. Everything had a matching opening/closing tag. Any new reverse proxy entries that I add, through the GUI, show up in the XML file, but the GUI stop and restart commands don't work. To restart the proxy service, I still have to reboot the server, so I go back to my original question (until I can investigate a different reverse-proxy pkg). From the command line, how can I stop and then start the Mod_Security+Apache+Proxy package, so that I don't have to reboot the firewall? Anyboday know where the scripts are for this pkg? TIA Paul

    Ok, so I solved it with some assistance from the local "Senior Network Ninjas" and google! Solution: Assign an interface to your GRE tunnel, Interfaces -> Assign -> Add new, choose your GRE in dropdown Enable the interface but keep type as "none" Add a floating rule allowing anything in both directions (probably tweakeable), enable quick, and set state type to "none" That's it!

    Possibly, if it's that easy to reproduce only with powerd enabled, it may be worth checking on a BIOS update to see if the manufacturer fixed and power management issues. If the fix is as easy as disabling powerd, at least you can stabilize it.
