    Hi Andrew, thanks for the tip. I forgot reply here. In our case, the problem was the hardware. Since 2013 I use the same hardware an Athlon LE-1620(1 Core) with 2GB. Some months ago, we created an app with many HAProxy rules and the access is growing. We bought one fanless with Intel J6426 and 8GB and now it´s work fine.

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    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?

    Just my experience about the dashboard to get it to show up… I usually upgrade to the latest snapshot whenever one becomes availabile, upon restart of the fw, I head over to "Packages/Installed Packages" and then I remove the dashboard, once the script has completed, I click on the pfsense logo on the top left hand side (nerve centre theme), its very important that you click the logo, as soon as I do this, the dashboard appears magically... I then go back to "Packages/Available 1.2-RELEASE packages" and I install the dashboard (although its already appeared when I clicked on to the logo, I just install it for peace of mind). Its worked for me every time after an upgrade. Slam

    @sullrich: Use Diagnostics -> Edit file and edit /cf/conf/config.xml and remove any related snort items in the <installedpackages>area.  No reboot is required. Afterwards reinstall snort from System -> Packages.</installedpackages> That did it, thanks!

    @dvserg: In transparent mode use Redirect mode=External… and all you redirections must have external url's(non-pfsense) After define Destinations need check\deny this in Default and ACL's Hi DVSerg Thankyou for the reply. So I need to create a webpage on an EXTERNAL host to get a proper error message when using transparent proxy, is that understood correctly? Best regards Kenneth

    Not sure on snort. You could use the imspector package and set it to block everyone not defined on the whitelist.

    It appears that I was not able to reproduce this, as I put a 1.2 machine into production with squid and the problem is still ocurring. Once I disable the transparent proxy, the problem disappears. Any ideas?

    Actually, we have try to disable the userland FTP proxy setting, and start pftpx as FTP forwarding proxy. With redirecting all 21 incoming traffic to the pftpx (8021), it works but it's already a NAT config which means that the internal machine must have the gateway point to the pfsense machine. The FTP client are configured to use Proxy and passive mode, the connection works with other Proxy server on the same LAN (not pfsense squid) . The problem is that Squid do not accept FTP connection from ftp clients. For a non-NAT environment, pfSense would be better to have proxy servers for different protocol such as http / nntp / ftp /…

    Maybe you should reinstall the system with a 1.2 and restore the backuped config. I did so with a 1.0 beta1 last week and the config was upgraded just fine (didn't have a problem with it though, but as it was an embedded install so switching the cf-cards was pretty easy to do).
