    @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.

That's probably good thing ? ( ! ). Up to you to discover why your NAS should initiate connections to these countries. 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?

    Ah, I think I know what it is. The AP that I'm trying this on has "defective" firmware and I need to update it first. Turns out updating the firmware is causing me even more problems  :-\ Thanks!

    Many thanks ! i was sure it's a bug…not it's working fine...but in this way: if that option is not enable and ip is not in list after authentification i got acess denied. It's working like this: ip in unrestricted list, option enable i got prompt for credentials authentification succesully and it's working !!! i assumed this is the good way working(for me it's fine like this) ? but still...local/others way of authentifications are made to bypass the ACLs list in particulary unrestricted ip's ? why it can not be a working proxy for whatever the ip is...and based on authentification ? Another thing, my proxy is on wan and it's working fine but it's strange that is working also on lan ! :D of course with my dynamic dns adress entered, it should work like this if proxy interface selected is wan and i'm entering from lan It's fine that is working now ! thanks a lot !!

    Could you post screenshots of your Common ACL (targets open) Group ACL (targets open) The target you created squid can only block http websites when in transparent mode. for https you need squid in non-transparent mode.

    AJungleDog, You will need to change your script to update dansguardian xml config using php instead of editing config files. take a look on dansguardian.php, it could be a good start to understand how to read and change dansguardian xml conf. att, Marcello Coutinho. ps: before any test, backup your config.

    You might uninstall and reinstall this, at some point in the last week or so I rebuilt that package as it was pulling the wrong version of the code. Alternately, there are instructions on the wiki for setting up softflowd.

    @gregober: In Squid, I think It is possible to use this configuration directive : access_log syslog:local:4 or access_log syslog:LOG_LOCAL4 This parameter has to be included in the configuration file… I personally verified that it was perfectly feasible to include this configuration directive in the "Custom Options" field of the Services > Proxy server configuration page of PfSense. Thanks to to that the settings survives a reboot. Once this is done, the messages are sent to a distant server provided you configured pfsense to do so (Status > System Logs > Settings)

    The system log says: ... snort[3342]: WARNING: No dynamic libraries found in directory /usr/local/lib/snort/dynamicrules. ... Currently it looks as if this is the reason why snort does not want to work properly. Obviously, reinstallation did not work. After disabling the snort.org *.so rules and enabling the more or less corresponding emergingthreads.net rules, the system works as expected and offenders are blocked again. Does anybody know where the content from dynamicrules is supposed to come from? The packages from files.pfsense.org seem to contain only an example module.

    tftpd just runs through inetd. That should get restarted if you edit/save under System > Advanced. Or kill/restart inetd by hand

    @dataking: Is there a "standard" out there for building a package and how to do it? this is the starting guide: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Developing_Packages basically you build xml files to use pfsense framework and call a php script (package_name.inc) file to check options selected on gui and apply to package conf. The package build options and location can be found on github. https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages This post from Jimp is also usefull HEADS UP: Package Maintainers - ACTION REQUIRED - Packages Cleanup / PBI Prep
