    @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.

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?

    Thanks, and sorry about originally posting in the wrong area. Can you explain a little more or point me in the direction of where to look?  Is there any possibility of modifying the action to redirect the user to a remediation page or drop only the P2P traffic?  If we wanted to pay for support hours to cover the cost of developing this feature, how many hours would you estimate?

    my wpad file looks like that as i don't want proxy for local and vpn servers maybe this can help you function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { // If IP address is internal or hostname resolves to internal IP, send direct.        var resolved_ip = dnsResolve(host);        if (isInNet(resolved_ip, "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0") ||                isInNet(resolved_ip, "172.16.0.0",  "255.240.0.0") ||                isInNet(resolved_ip, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0") ||                isInNet(resolved_ip, "127.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))                return "DIRECT";        return "PROXY proxy.domain.lan:3128; DIRECT"; } maybe you could also check the webserver logs to see if your hosts grab the wpad file

    Well, I am faced with the same problem. Therefore I dont dare to activate the blocking feature in pfsense snort. The only thing you can do is to go through ALL the rules an activate only those which are relevant to your network (i.e. disable rules for INFO, POLICY, and so on). If there are still alerts you have to add them to the suppress list and unblock affected hosts.

    @Metu69salemi: I think, that those use some kind of man-in-the-middle attack by using their own ssl-certificate. But not sure at all Yep. They MITM the traffic, which requires a trusted CA cert to be installed on the machines you want to capture data from.

    @extide: honestly you are probably best off doing a fresh install and re-loading your config. I got my box into a state once where the filesystem got messed up and even a factory reset did not fix it. In that situation the best move is probably just to do a clean install from ISO, and then apply your config. i actually ended up doing a fresh install before a reply was made.  i had the .iso i used inside the case of the computer and pfsense installed in 10 minutes (maybe less, i stepped away after the prompts).  i wanted to do a restore to see how well the backup config files worked and they worked well….worked as designed. i was a little disappointed that i didn't uncheck the box to save rrd graph info, but that wasnt a huge deal. however, i am still glad i got the info from marcelloc incase a package install doesnt go as planned, in the future.

    @cmb: Installing Snort from the packages adds the package via pkg_add, or PBI if 2.1, and has a GUI to set it up and manage. Thanks for your response. From a human-factors standpoint, it would be better to use a more explicit button on that page and move it into the leftmost column under the name of the package. The link attached to the name is a "garden path" trap:  it sets up expectations that it doesn't fulfill.  Since the person on that page might not have set up any rules at that point, the cryptic, monochromatic "+" button over on the right side is hard to even notice, never mind interpret, especially next to the eye-attracting column in white reversed out of what looks like #CC0000 red. Imagine how different the effect would be even just changing that description to black-on-white and reversing the button out of red instead. Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to use color where it can mislead.  There's no reason for the "description" column to be emphasised (the same righthand column is reversed out of red on other pages, too, with the same lack of meaning).  Color should only be used where it can't be misinterpreted (e.g., the menu bar, the page title) or where it focuses attention on something significant.  Because of how many people can't perceive color at the usual level of accuracy, the choice of a specific color should never be used to encode meaning (not that that's being done here). It would also be better to have the left column alphabetised.  Right now it's almost alphabetised, which sets up another incorrect expectation. Even the choice of greyscale on the packages page is hard to interpret.  The darker grey in the not-selected tab is "stronger" than the lighter grey, and therefore appears to be selected.  The standard for selected vs not-selected is to lower the contrast on the not-selected tab.  So both tabs should have the same background, but the text on the unselected tab should have a lower contrast with the background, in this case the grey of the es.
