    @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.

    @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.

    Hi all. Just wondering if I’m the only one that noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pFblocker 3.2.7: I have my pfBlockerNG set to update every night at 02:00am and it does (like it also did before). But after the upgrade I also have a pfBlockerNG PHP script running at about 16:00 on one box and 19:00 on another. The command is: /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng-php dcc(php) This process eats a lot of CPU, about 1 minutes worth of one core @ 100% on my 6100 and one core @ 100% for about 5 minutes on the less powerfull 2100 box (This is 50% of the 2100 CPU power). It seems it does a GEOIP update as that is the only thing thats referenced in the extras.log of pfBlockerNG. Why is this suddently so different from running on 24.11? And why is this not done at 02:00 when its scheduled to update?

    @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.

    SOLVED. Turns out nothing wrong with my tunnel setup and not due to CGNAT. The reason PING works and other traffic doesn't is due to packet size and MTU. Something on the wireless network means that the default MTU doesn't work, forcing a smaller MTU to 1280 on pfSenseB fixed this. This Reddit thread has more details of this issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/qmsa2n/ping_works_but_sites_arent_loading/

    Perhaps some default config which wasn't written into a .conf file. Go to every GUI windows and click save again to make sure all configuration is written to the files.

    @Seb: Just suppress the alert (that's what I did). Joel Esler (who is 'responsible for the detection created for Snort' and works at Sourcefire) says that disabling this alert will not produce any additional cost savings (at least in the case of 'MESSAGE WITH INVALID CONTENT-LENGTH OR CHUNK SIZE' and, I assume, all preprocessor type alerts.  Read the whole thread (or at least the preceding and first messages in it) for more details. I suppressed the "MESSAGE WITH…" alerts, and will probably be suppressing the remaining http_inspect alerts. I cleared the logs, and will check them later tonight, thanks.

    in my case, I just removed the WAN which snort was generating fatal erros for and after I re-added the Interface and reset the rules and categories everything worked back. It's probably some kind of software conflict.

    @dvserg: You url www.müller.de will be converted by browser to punycode http://www.xn–mller-kva.de/ ( SG view last url only ) You must use one of services ( for example http://www.charset.org/punycode.php ) for converting you national url to punycode and use this in the SG filter. Great! I never heard of that. Thank you very much!

    Hi, if you enabled "Not to allow IP addresses in URL" then users are not allowed to use an IP address in the browsers URL. To bypass this for some specific URLs/IP-addresses you must create a target and whitelist this target. So create a target and add all the destination IPs you want to whitelist. The on "Group ACL" or "Common ACL" select this target as "Whitelist" This should work - even if "Not to allow IP addresses in URL" is enabled. But I do not see a way to automatically use the IPs from pfblocker.

    I just discovered this being new to pfsense.  Not a big deal as I did a backup before hand but I would think 99.9% of the time people upgrading the snort package would want to keep their previous config even if they normally want the config removed if they were to uninstall the package (to keep the config relevant to what is used).  I wonder how big of a change it would be to always treat upgrades with a keep config.

    The categories are only taken from there for the main package list. I don't recall though if the column in the Installed Packages list comes from that data or from the package's .xml file.

    @mlafer: Hi, but for authentication I need to deactivate transparent proxy :-(, therefore I need to configure every PC, needn't I? What about the use of Voucher: a) normal user login with password: no Youtube access, but unlimited time; b) with Voucher: xx min access to youtube, but still Dansfilter active I don't think you would need to configure each PC - other than making sure they are setup to automatically detect the proxy settings. You would need to create a wpad.dat auto configuration file to allow automatic proxy configuration. You can search the forums here to see how to do it… The other option would be to leave transparent on and assign each device a specific IP address (in DHCP settings). Of course, this assumes that your boys have there own devices and don't have the ability to access another users device.

    @marcelloc: @thetzawko: Your reply is very useful and valuable for me. Why do you install package gui if you are not going to use it? ??? Install squid via pkg_add on console this way you get squid without gui. Take a look on available package at http://files.pfsense.org/packages/ Thank you for your instruction. This is my first time experience on pfSense. I had a lot of experience on rpm based linux. But I have no idea to do so on pfSense. When I use squid GUI I can configure basic setup for my environment. After that I edit the config file manually. I think this is a little easy for me. Anyway thank you.
