    @nick23369 You don't have to wait for the official fix. Adding the directive load-server-state-from-file none to each backend will override the default behavior and makes HAProxy backend changes take effect immediately. This is the easiest - do it one time and it's done. You can also stop HAProxy, delete run rm /tmp/haproxy_server_state from Diagnostic > Command Prompt, and then start HAProxy. There is no problem with HAProxy, it just takes some extra work to make negate the hardcoded config settings and make backend changes apply immediately without having to reboot pfSense.

    @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.

A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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?

    @periko: I had read a lot of docs but, is working, but is not counting the time right. Someone here has this setting working? Thanks!!! You could try running freeradius in debug mode from console with "radiusd -X" and then pay attention on the accounting packets. The CP must send the time attribute to the RADIUS server and it must be sent for the correct user. CP is sending accounting packets every minute so the time must only increase by 60 seconds. Perhaps you can try with pfsense 2.1 an compare if CP is working better with the newer code.

    If squid is running in transparent mode and the website is httpS then you cannot block it. If it is httpS you have to run squid in non-transparent mode. SquidGuard can only block what squid is seeing. To make sure your config works in general just block a simple webpage with http and test.

    You can see what IP's have talked to what IP's, but if you want more detail than that your best option is to setup squid as a transparent proxy, and then use LightSquid and/or SARG which will geerate some pretty detailed reports of what computers/IP's have accessed what web sites, and will give exact URL's and whatnot.

    Thanks for the info igor I had figured by upgrading (which deinstalls) this would do the same. Tried uninstalling, rebooting, and then installing again and so far my interface has remained up! :) I will keep in an eye on it over the next while but looks like that did solve it. Cheers!

    You can add all the options you need by hand using the "custom options" box. So if you need just a part of an option the GUI offers then enable it on the GUI, check the "squid.conf" file for the syntax you need and then go to GUI again, disable it there and add the part you need by hand in the "custom options" box. The GUI ist just a helper :-)

    The WhiteList don't works for me too. Neither with networks or single IP adress. I'm using PFSense 2.0.1 with Snort 2.9.2.3 pkg v.2.5.1. After some days searching for solution I found a workaround that worked for me. Add in Suppress List the networks in CIDR notation like that (example with 3 networks in supress list working as WhiteList): suppress gen_id 0, sig_id 0, track by_src, ip [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/29,yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy/28,zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz/28]
