    @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.

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.

    @jwt said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: installed or upgraded? 2.7.2 was installed first from iso then upgraded to 2.8 then config restored - that resolved the issue. @jwt said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: more details here would be good. no details - unfortunately installer doesn't provide any logs or troubleshooting info, except "unable to contact netgate servers" during install. Despite same PPPoE username and password specified in the initial prompt as used during normal operations.

    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?

    @som: Ok, it's clear. For my release: FreeBSD pfsense2.local 7.0-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p8 What precompiled package must I use for it? package 7 or package 8 ? Packages for 7.0, or in some cases, 7-STABLE.

    I try to install samba3-smblient using package-8-stable like source… now the error is: # smbclient /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libreadline.so.8" not found, required by "smbclient" I have installed also the samba-libsmbclient-3.0.36 (Shared lib from the samba package) but nothing changes. I didn't restart the system… Should be that the cause of error? EDIT. Rebooted ...there is the same error :( please help me! Thanks.

    @Roodawakening: @titus91360: Hi, I'm using pfSense with Squid & SquidGuard. It works great. what I would like to do is to modify the page returned if you match a filtered page. With the int err message, you got the category of blocked page. I would like to know if there is a way to put automaticaly this category on an external error webpage. I would like to do that in order to put the page in french with a big red banner say "Access denied" (in french of course!) ;) Thks for help Go to: Services–>Proxy filter-->Default (tab). Set 'Redirect mode' to 'Ext url found (enter URL).' Type the external URL of the file you wish to use as your message screen into the 'Redirect info' box. I used the alert file I made for HAVP and merely added a background from the 'Squid Artwork' section. Direct link: http://www.squid-cache.org/Artwork/ My alert page looks like this: Thanks for your message but you don't took back the error category of the filtering. I would like to keep this information in order to help users when they ask for support. Edit : I managed to do what I want with this message http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,8525.0.html

    Ok I found a bug in the widget that would cause sorting by date to mess up. This happens if you have widget open for a while but there are no updates. There is a fix that will be released when the next dashboard version is out. My apologies

    jigpe Use ac-bnfa as the memory Performance management and you should be fine. 2.5 GB RAM you don't have to worry about how many rules you select. (I wish I had your system). Select all the rules and report back how much ram snort is using. It should be only 300mb for each interface. James
