    @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?

    Thank you for your help. For future readers, the package did not show up in the backup file as it never finished installing the package. Reloading the update fixed the problem.

    Ntop threading bugs or FreeBSD threading bugs, depending on who you ask. I don't know the true cause, but it's a common ntop issue with no resolution in sight.

    You need to upgrade to at least 1.2 RC2, better than that would be the most recent snapshot.

    If I config directly in squid.conf it will work? Yes, but it wont stick. To make it stick edit /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc, then regenerate squid.conf by changing an option on the proxy config screen of the gui. Remember to back it up though, in case a jr. tech (or a forgetful you) upgrades the package.

    Hi, and thanks for the link howto configure the alt package menu, but I don´t get it running. I read the howto attentive but I end up in a failure. I Installed alt_pkg.php so that i can find the menubutton "Alt Package" in Services. Then I download File pkg_config.xml and put it via WinSCP in the directory /usr/local/www/packages/ and change to the Webgui Alt Package and select "Local 'XML Base URL' (127.0.0.1)" If I then press load where I see the content of pkg_config.xml and press save. If I change to Packages in System, the List will not directly appear and I get this "Unable to retrieve package info from 127.0.0.1. Cached data will be used." I didn´t use copy and paste to bring content of the File to PfSense. any Idea? greetings Hoster :)

    One way I have been able to successfully block P2P traffic on my networks is by explicitly denying any udp traffic outbound, and only allowing DNS traffic from servers outbound. Egress filtering is another method I use. turn off the default lan to any and allow only specific traffic outbound ie ftp (port 21 TCP and you will need to allow port 20/UDP outbound for data ) http https pop3 imap  Let me know if this helps

    Something to change tho, would be adding "ac-bnfa", to the list of choices and possibly removing mwm due to security issues (according to snort community). At this time you can manually edit a configurationfile downloaded from diagnostics and replacing your method of choice there to "ac-bnfa" and reboot.
