    @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.

    @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?

    @marcelloc: On first Box, create a nat rule with source LAN nat destination any Destination port 80 server ip second pfsense on dmz Server port 3128 On second box enable squid. So.. squid in transparent mode and all that setup on the first box?  As in, all of the cache management settings have to be setup on the first box ? Lightsquid setup on which box?  If it has to be that cache and lightsquid need to be setup on the second box, how can i transfer all lightsquid logs from the first box to the second one?  i would like that all of the data that i see now in my lightsquid reports, still be on the new setup, combined with all new data. In the past i think you mentioned that in this setup squid needs to be installed on both boxes.. i just wonder where all the settings for cache management need to be setup, i would guess the second box, but i dont see how i can have squid enabled on the first box without any settings.

    diagnostics -> service will show you if squid is running or not. Do not try to stop or start squid from services page, there is a bug on it that will always stop it. To start squid, just save config on it's config page.

    It could also be completely unrelated to that, and just how 1.2.3 would randomly sometimes stick an empty <config>tag and prevent settings from saving. 2.0.x upgrade would fix it no matter which of those is to blame.</config>

    @DQM: One more question, Marcello. How about limit size of maillog file and how does it work? Will it split to maillog1, maillog2, …? (/var/log/maillog) Not on current version. LinuxTracker did a how to for logrotate, maybe it's userfull for you. http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,51412.msg287633.html#msg287633 @DQM: Can I push the log of PF to syslog server? Yes, you need just to change log settings on package gui. without maillog, you will not have database search too.

    Thanks for the reply When I installed the package, restart it turns out the error: …. "Proxy Server with mod_security" ... fetch: /usr/local/apachemodsecurity/rules/rules/default.conf: open (): No such file or directory I edited the file /usr/local/pkg/apache_mod_security.inc at line 114 and the error is no longer out When the server restarts, in the start of the module "Proxy Server with mod_security" returns the error (48) Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 127.0.0.1:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down This error comes out even if it is defined an ip different from 127.0.0.1 If the service is restarted manually from the dashboard service starts properly. I followed the instructions to add the two files accf_data.ko and accf_http.ko that I took from the site pfsense.org, I modified the loader.conf file by adding the line accf_http_load = "YES" When I set some parameters of the "mod_security + Apache + Proxy: Settings" in httpd-error.log comes out the following error: [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [warn] (22) Invalid argument: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [warn] (22) Invalid argument: Failed to enable the 'httpready' Accept Filter [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication … [Mon Sep 24 16:37:50 2012] [notice] Digest: done [Mon Sep 24 16:37:51 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (FreeBSD) mod_ssl/2.2.22 OpenSSL/0.9.8n configured - resuming normal operations The filter mod_security still does not filter, but I can get access to the site in DMZ That mod_security is not in the path, if I do not set the "mod_security + Apache + Proxy: Proxies Site" the site is not accessible

    After you try to start Snort and it won't start, go to Status->System logs and check the messages. The reason why Snort won't start is probably there.

    Hi LinuxTracker, I have followed up your steps to configure the logrotate for PF. I'd like to show you in deatails as below. Pls help to re-check and confirm if it is correct. Step1: run command to install the logrotate pkg_add -r http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/sysutils/logrotate-3.7.9.tbz ( I'm using 2.0.1 RELEASE (amd64) built on Mon Dec 12 18:16:13 EST 2011 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6) Setp2: Create Archives folder at /archives to store the archiving log. I have also created folder logrotate.d at /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d ( I don't know its function. Could you explain?) Step3: Create file /etc/logrotate.conf with content below: location of archived log files olddir /archives /var/log/maillog {        # rotate logs daily (at midnight via cron)        daily # don't complain if log is missing        missingok # keep a month's worth of logfiles        rotate 30 # compress all but yesterday's logs with gzip        compress        delaycompress # in case log file in use by process, truncates log file then copies it        copytruncate # create new empty log file w/ same permissions as old log file (unsure if needed)        create 644 root wheel # date appended onto archived log names        dateext # beats me - this was already here        sharedscripts # restart postifx        postrotate          /etc/init.d/postfix reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true endscript      } system-specific logs may be configured here Step4: I have tried to run the command /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -f -s /archives/logrotate.status /etc/logrotate.conf on shell console and it seems to work well. I have also installed Cron package and created a cron job. I want this job will run at 12:00 AM daily. But I still didn't clear the time (minute, hour, mday, …) of cron job. Below is my cron job configuration: minute: 0 hour: 24 mday: * month: * wday: * who: root command: /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -f -s /archives/logrotate.status /etc/logrotate.conf Is it correct? (daily run at midnight) P/S: I'm not a linux/*nix professional  >:( Thank you, DQM

    Thanks! I'm hesitant to modify the XML config as there are references to ntop all over the place in the file and I don't want to miss any (or break something else that is expecting to find it). I guess good old "vi" and the command line will work and I can give it my best shot. I was hoping for a cleaner way to do so.

    @wdennis: @jimp: Has this behavior changed at some point? Have you tried just clicking "ok" with the blank password? When importing into windows it also claims it was protected with a password but if you just click Next and keep going it still works. Tried clicking OK, but just comes back to password prompt… This is a relatively new system, and am just starting to work with certs on it, so no change in behavior -- it has never worked :) Thanks wdennis, have you been able to solve this problem? I'm having the same issue. Is there a "standard" password ? Regards Alexander
