    @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?

    I wish I knew what the difference is… I am planning to convert to "PBX in a Flash" soon to see if it will fix issues I am having with poor sound quality on IAX calls but I get occasional one-way audio with SIP and pfSense. the interesting thing is that the one-way audio goes away after about 10 seconds and it works for a little bit and then I get it again. The 10 seconds appears to be related to the externrefresh=10 setting. BTW... I am using voipstreet for SIP and IAX but I had the same one-way audio problems with Broadvoice a year or so ago. Mike

    With only Exploit and BAckdoor rules, snort still crashes. It can work without "core dumping" between 1 and 4 days. What I have seen is that snort does not give the right amount of ram in the logs : "Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 166M – Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 166M "  Or "Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 67M -- Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 67M "  just restarted ten minutes ago: "SnortStartup[29480]: Ram free BEFORE starting Snort: 112M – Ram free AFTER starting Snort: 112M -- Mode ac-sparsebands -- Snort memory usage:" I have 2GB on that machine!!!! Any clue ?

    @wompy: good point, that might be a pain. I guess I could just cut and paste the data from blk_spyware and place that in a new destination. My main objective is to block the spyware category, but since most of it is ads on websites, I want it to look transparent to the users. If you use HTTP WebGIU & Internal redirection, possible another way - modification /usr/local/www/sgerror.php. SG sent many information to redirected page http://10.62.0.3/sgerror.php?url=404&a=%a&n=%n&i=%i&s=%s&t=%t&u=%u [a] - client address #                [n] - client name #                - client user #                - client group #                [t] - target group #                - client url need checking 't' param with 'blk_spyware' and return redirection to blank Image

    Thx hoba, I read it, the rules are disabled, I've seen it before. Memory consumption has been at ap. 40%, CPU at 10% max Yesterday the machine slowed down the whole traffic, I had to disable snort. Today I will try to analyse if the box itself (no shaping, no ids) is able to handle the traffic. Just NAT some rules and that's it.

    @hoba: Download the config.xml from diagnostics>backup/restore. Edit it with a texteditor that can handle the unix specific textfile (like http://pspad.com). Strip out the section for that package, save and reupload it again (pfSense will reboot). Now pfSense won't know that this package was ever installed. Try to reinstall it. Also make sure your pfSense is on the latest version when working with packages. This makes complete sense and is the solution to my problem. Thinking out of the box! Thank you for the quite response.

    AIM 6 uses a new version of the AIM/ICQ protocol which is not supported by IMSpector. Try an older version of AIM or ICQ and it should work fine.

    I am building something like this. It's already working steady, howver I can't write the webgui pages for it. If anyone is interested we could make a package. I have to questions though, it works with lighthttpd (nog the webgui's) on the outside, is this dangerous? Is there a systemwide variable for the WAN interface, and if pptp is used do their need to be rules added on both the pptp interface and the WAN interface?

    After downloading Blacklist system start SG with non-builded bases and starting base rebuild. That's all making slowing down of system. With rebuilded base SG started on 3-5 times quickly.
