    @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?

    uninstall squidguard, and squid, and then from the console: pkg_delete squid* And then reinstall the packages. See if it works then.

    Hello, Three months later… but i didn't find any other post about that. I have exactly the same problem monitoring about 130 hosts, running pfsense 1.2.3 Some of them are displaying 0.0.0.0 as their IP address on the board. But if you click to access the info panel, you can see their actual unicast address, so it's not really a problem. If you're bored to see those 0.0.0.0, you can try to reset the stats and it will show you correct IP instead. But it doesn't solve the problem anyway, so if anyone has any idea he's welcome.

    We do a setup just like this using the captive portal.  We allow access to only whitelisted URLs on our LAN (10.21.1.0/24) and open internet once authenticated through the captive portal on OPT1 (192.168.1.0/24).  We manually list out the OPT1 IPs in the 'do not filter' box in the Squid GUI and it accomplishes exactly why you describe.

    Same here.  Seems like the Oink/Snort db service was offline etc. when I tried to connect.  Last night mine updated as well. Now the big question becomes - how many of those rules to turn on? :) Dayblade

    Seems each updated snapshot wipes snort rules and config. Yes i have save config if removed set. Updating snort rules generally fixes the issue your speaking of in my case.

    There is no FreeBSD port of Squid v3.2, in the ports tree, currently so you will need to download the source and compile your own package on a separate i386 FreeBSD box and then install that on to your pfSense box. Btw BETA5 is old, would suggest upgrading to RC1.

    thx wagonza - your reply nudged me into the right direction. if I do a pfctl -sn | grep http - I am suppose to see the redirect rule : rdr on re0 inet proto tcp from any to ! (re0) port = http -> 127.0.0.1 port 80 After browsing I found the solution in the http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,20690.15.html discussion… in a nutshell, it looks like there is some sort of race condition in rc.  so by commenting out the 'rm -f /tmp/filter_dirty' line fixes the problem!
