    i am using pfsense 2.8.0 with haproxy 0.63_10 and i have 4 sites that redirect to two different web server, i am using two frontend, one for http request redirect to https using rule: scheme https, and a second with type ssl/https(tcp mode) to redirect the request with the acl and the action, now i want to add a new site to one of the web servers i create a new backend (and even tried duplicate) and add the proper acl and action as always did but for some reason since the update to 2.8.0 the redirect keeps going to the wrong backend, i tried a test and rewrote and old backend and updated the acl and rule in the frontend and it works fine, is there a known bug since the update because it keeps happening even after reboot to pfsense and the haproxy service and reinstall of the package.

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat.
    With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @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 :

    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.

    I had a similar issue with Routed VTI over IPsec recently. FRR lost its neighbors after rebooting or when a tunnel went down. It never re-discovered it automatically. Only restarting FRR (either in GUI or via CLI) brought the neighbors back.

    When I manually added those under the OSPF neighbors tab in the GUI it seems to solve the problem as well.

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection.

    If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application?

    Thanks.

    I tried that too and it failed for some reason. Haven't had time to diagnose. I figured I'd wait until a newer release that hopefully would have fixed some bugs =)

    @goldenshark Hi, I know this is old but....I want to do the same thing.

    So in Squidguard we are supposed to able to block domains or even by specific URL's. On the FLIP side of that, we should be able to whitelist by domain or by URL.

    Therefore, what if I block the entire DOMAIN youtube.com, but then WHITELIST a specific youtube video URL?

    In theory this should work fine and the only limiting factor here would be THE ORDER that the block or whitelist items are applied by the filter!

    So for example, In Squidguard if I block the DOMAIN youtube.com with a Target Category and then I also create a target category to WHITELIST the url, www.youtube.com/mymovie, then why would it not work? I can SET which target category gets applied before the other in my ACL's. I would ASSUME, last one applied wins. So any whitelist item would override the block list.

    So in this example, if my BLOCK list is followed by my Whitelist when a request comes in, Youtube would be blocked first, then ALLOWED by my whitelist.

    Unfortunately, I could not get this to work. An I have no idea of how squidguard is actually applying filters in this sense. It seems to not be allowing the Whitelist to override the Block list.

    Anyone know how these Target Category's work in a hierarchy?

    Also, if you really want a mess, apply a default BLACK LIST in Squid and then it seems that ALL the black list filters get applied last and nullify any Target categories you added.

    Its not cool, as it is very quirky and sometimes you need to reboot Pfsense to even get the filters to work at all.

    Cyber Power

    With a space ;)
    What version ?

    edit :
    See also NUT upsmon : at the bottom of the page you'll find a way to test.
    Another test : power pfSense from another wall outlet,and connect the USB to the UPS.
    Have the connection established.
    Login to to the console and/or SSH.
    Now remove the power from the UPS.
    Check the main pfSense logs. And what show up on the console ?

    edit 2 :
    You use probably the USB driver "usbhid-ups" : see here

    https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/usbhid-ups.html

    scroll down to "Unattended shutdowns" and do what is suggested.

    Gertjan,

    PfSense: 21.05.2
    NUT: 2.7.4_8

    thanks for the info. I'll try it tonight.

    Uncheck "Keep ntopng settings, graphs and traffic data" in settings and save. Uninstall official package. Intstall official package and disable ntopng in settings. Install official "sudo" package (or root login cli) . Open CLI and add packages in this order:

    sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/lua53-5.3.6.pkg

    sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/openldap24-client-2.4.59_4.pkg

    sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/ntopng-5.0.d20210923,1.pkg

    Enable ntopng in settings.

    Works for pfSense 2.5.2, amd64. Now you have version ntopng 5.0.2 :)

    @technomilm

    Try this :
    Power down the device using Diagnostics => Halt system.
    As soon as the device is actually halted, remove the power cable.
    Take a the,coffee/whatever.
    Put the power back on, boot the device.
    You should be fine.

    Btw : pfSense was trying to load some 'package' files. If you were loading any other package, like 'Notes' or 'Cron' you would most probably see the same error, so it's not really 'pfBlockerNG devel ' related.

    As evidenced by the dearth of replies to your question, TOR, however noble its original design and intention, has had its reputation severely tarnished by association with the dark web and its bad actors. Thus I suspect no self-respecting firewall admin would consider putting anything TOR anywhere near their firewall.

    @hulleyrob If I had to guess there are some things in redmine about packages not installing on reinstall, and this one talks about forcing reinstall sort of thing..

    https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12235

    To report the issue you have experienced we would really need some more details, and copies of your config you restored, etc..

    But as you said its easy enough to work around.. But yeah it could get frustrating for someone, sure..
