    @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.

    @jwt said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: installed or upgraded? 2.7.2 was installed first from iso then upgraded to 2.8 then config restored - that resolved the issue. @jwt said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: more details here would be good. no details - unfortunately installer doesn't provide any logs or troubleshooting info, except "unable to contact netgate servers" during install. Despite same PPPoE username and password specified in the initial prompt as used during normal operations.

    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?

    Yes, the draw graph checkbox should now be checked on initial install. The graph data should go on and off based on the checkbox setting (previously it always did "draw graph", the checkbox was not effective). The "bandwidthd has nothing to graph…" initial page got cached in my browser (Firefox) - I messed around for a while wondering why nothing displayed, then forcibly refreshed the page and the bandwidthd graphs appeared. So try a page refresh, or clear your browser cache. bandwidthd tries to write its data to different places in "/usr" depending on the pfSense version: switch ($pfs_version) {   case "1.2":   case "2.0":     define('PKG_BANDWIDTHD_BASE', '/usr/local/bandwidthd');     break;   default:     define('PKG_BANDWIDTHD_BASE', '/usr/pbi/bandwidthd-' . php_uname("m") . '/bandwidthd'); } But on nanobsd "/usr" is read-only. So everything goes well until it wants to actually write the graph data! There used to be some other issues with packages that wrongly left "/usr" read-write. At those times, bandwidthd could "jump in" and write its graph data. If the system was in this state for a few weeks, there were lots of writes to the CF card. I think this was a reason why I killed a CF card a few months ago. Anyway, bandwidthd on nanobsd is not expected to work at present (certainly does not work on 2.1-BETA0). I am going to make some code changes to put the graph data in "/var" on nanobsd but haven't got to it yet. For that, I also need to think about what to do about periodically saving a copy to the CF card (and at shutdown) and reloading it on startup.

    As logger mentioned just click the Edit button next to the interface you want to configure. Kind of makes sense since you might want different categories and rules for different interfaces. Logger, thanks for the suggestion about preprocessors.

    Thank you Ermal, for the quick response. What config files and logs specifically do you need? Do you need the specific blocking events logged by snort? Or the contents of the Aliases from the config.xml?

    @hanzer: thx! will check it out! BTW… the other thing you might want to consider is that google now does SSL search by default if you are logged in (see http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=173733). If someone is using SSL google search, the URL parameters and the returned content is not checked by Dans. You can get around this by making some changes to resolve the google address to nosslsearch.google.com.

    Doesn't cause any problems on our systems. However it may not be down to snort per se but could be caused by the rules you have active. Is there anything in the system logs?

    Nope I unchecked it and now its simply caching static stuff. There is no config I can make it cache dynamic as youtube, windows update or other. Simply when I tick cache dynamic content, all I get are TCP MISS 200, if I uncheck it, I get hits for static content.

    @pfinch: In pfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE, OpenBGPD 0.5.6 the /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf permissions are set wrong causing OpenBGPD not to start. chmod 600 /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf fixes the issue. On a clean install I'm facing this issue too: pfSense 2.0.1-RELEASE (amd64), OpenBGPD 0.5.6 My setup also complains for missing /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf To be able to run OpenBGPD I've had to: ln -s /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf chmod 600 /var/etc/openbgpd/bgpd.conf
