    Hi, I had a problem with my home network today, so I checked pfsense and discovered that suricata had blocked the wan ip. After some tests and triggering some suricata alerts, the wan ip was blocked. I restarted pfsense and ran some more tests, but the problem no longer occurred. I then checked the wan interface settings and indeed the ip list does not include the wan ip, both now that it's working and before, when it was blocked. I'm using pfsense 2.8.0 and suricata 7.0.8_2. I use PPPoE to access the Internet.

    @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.

    Ran into this issue today as well running on 25.07.1 with pfblockerNG-devel 3.2.7. Followed the steps outlined in this thread to edit the pfblockerng.sh file, then deleted/force reloaded all the lists, and all was well again. Thank you everyone in this thread for your your help and great instructions.

    @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.

    @provels said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: This same mess happened to me, even w/o Acme, going from 25.07 to *.1. Blew, reinstalled w/ Crowdsec, blew again, reinstalled, clipped all the Crowdsec info from config.xml, restored config, back to normal. Crowdsec is a great concept, but I think I'm out. I never had this issue with Crowdec before the ACME update, even with updating from 2.7 to 2.8 there was no issues. In fact after restoring from a backup after the ACME update, Crowdsec reinstalled just fine, and this was before the recent release a couple days ago that contained a fix.

    Hi all, I wanted to share that I’m also experiencing issues with Tailscale (v1.86.4) on the latest pfSense CE (v2.8.0). After either a pfSense reboot or a Tailscale service restart, my node is logged out of Tailscale — exactly as many of you have described here. It bothered me enough that I opened a support ticket with the Tailscale team. I explained the problem, included details, and linked this thread as a reference. The good news is that support responded quickly and said they’re setting up a pfSense VM to reproduce the issue. In the meantime, they suggested a workaround: “Based on the behavior described here and in the thread, it looks like the auth key used for authentication may be expiring. Since OAuth clients don’t expire, switching to an OAuth Client rather than an Auth Key might resolve this. See our docs here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1215/oauth-clients#registering-new-nodes-using-oauth-credentials I tested this, and after configuring Tailscale with OAuth, everything worked! Tailscale now stays connected and authenticated even after a reboot or service restart. That said, I did tell support that while OAuth solves the issue, it used to work out of the box with the simpler interactive login / auth key flow. Something seems to have changed on the Tailscale side, and I hope they identify and fix it. But until then, the OAuth workaround is a solid fix. I’d love to hear how it’s working for the rest of you. Anyone else try OAuth yet? Cheers

    Actually no… I was looking the source code of the hd44780 driver... the hd44780 driver serves serial, parallel, lcd2usb, etc. same driver for different connection types... you should add to the configuration the "ConnectionType" parameter, if not specified will take "4bit", but should be "lcd2usb"... don't know if just duplicating the driver in a new line an adding ConnectionType=lcd2usb in lcdproc.inc could work... I need the lcd panel to make tests... Sorry, don't have the answer, but I gave you something to work on...

    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!
