    @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?

    @Cry: Your best bet for tuning advice for HAVP may be on their own forum or mailing list. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get on their forum.  I registered, but it won't send me an activation email.

    I've actually tried almost all configuration combinations and I am not able to get the client IP in the logs.  Has anyone been successful with this?  I've read in the 2.0 pfsense release Squid will not bypass pf, and should provide visibility to the client IP address.  I think it is a functionally issue not a configuration issue.  Although, I have been wrong before. :)

    @jimp: NTOP can be a collector when run on its own system. http://www.ntop.org/netflow.html Any tricks?  I have tried several collectors and none of them report anything being sent.  However netstat on the collector machine shows a connection on the correct port.

    Try reversing your idea. pfsense can connect to an ftp server. So write a script and get cron (install it through packages) to run it to move the files off to an existing ftp server. Much neater and safer than installing stuff on the firewall and the script can be run on as many boxes as you like.

    I'd suggest that you need to sort your DNS issues out before going any further. From a shell try doing an nslookup for www.pfsense.com, you should get something like Server:        208.67.222.222 Address:        208.67.222.222#53 Non-authoritative answer: www.pfsense.com canonical name = pfsense.com. Name:  pfsense.com Address: 69.64.6.21 My guess is that it's not resolving properly and you will need to address that before going further. While it is possable to add FreeBSD packages to a pfsense system, something like the pfsense squid package is altered to work with a web GUI and as has already been said, should be installed via the web interface.

    Those errors can be ignored safely. Everyone's install generates the same errors.

    Actually no… I was looking the source code of the hd44780 driver... the hd44780 driver serves serial, parallel, lcd2usb, etc. same driver for different connection types... you should add to the configuration the "ConnectionType" parameter, if not specified will take "4bit", but should be "lcd2usb"... don't know if just duplicating the driver in a new line an adding ConnectionType=lcd2usb in lcdproc.inc could work... I need the lcd panel to make tests... Sorry, don't have the answer, but I gave you something to work on...
