    @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.

    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?

    I'm at work so cant talk much. Yes, after every reboot snort.conf get remade. You will have to add your changes to snort.inc to make your changes permanent. Good news, if your seeing that attack you do not need to recompile prepocessor. James

    Thanks, James, for working on this. Now another question: If we enable Barnyard2, do we have to manually download Barnyard2 or is there a package already available for pfSense? I went to http://www.securixlive.com/barnyard2/docs/manual.php to read up on how Barnyard2 works but I'm going to have to experiment with it and don't know where to start.

    That is what I did, I cleared out the squid logs, added the fine tuning statements, reinstalled squid 2.6 package and lightsquid.  I verified the processes, cpu load, adjusted the squid settings, rebooted the firewall and now I am monitoring (top & tail -f /var/squid/log/access.log)  looks like all is well.  I am constanting learning, reading up on the squid's website about the different log statements and so forth.  So far all looks good.  I realized that after I make any changes to squid using pfsense gui, I get another pinger process.  I now know to "kill" those additional processes using "kill process#" within top.  Thanks again to everyone.

    @SupportIT: Hey, i already tried the searching for this issue but have not found any answers. Squid Proxy Version: 2.6.21_08 Auth Method : LDAP LDAP Ver : 3 Auth Server: xxx.xxx.xx.xx Auth Server Port: Blank LDAP Server user DN: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=local LDAP password: admin password LDAP base Domain: DC=mydomain, DC=local LDAP search Filter: sAMAccountName=%s I would like to let the Squid Authenticate with my LDAP (Win2003) it prompts to enter a User and a Password but gets no further. Any reason why this setup would not work? Any one any ideas? Good morning, I set the authentication of the way you are explaining, but does not work. The login screen appears but is repeated three times and gives error of access to the cache. Until posted in Portuguese: I set the authentication of the way you are explaining, but does not work.

    I think the heuristics  feature in Dan's guardian has helped, it has blocked sites that may not have normally been blocked using key words etc.  I thought I saw something stating that you could use keywords with pfsense and squid guard that would block sites based on those keywords. I think that only blocks them if they are in the URL and not if they are within the site itself. Is this correct? I don't know how much I would miss the heuristics since I have never used squidguard.

    Hi james, From my tests last night, it still was blocking hosts on the white list tab. I tried your suggestions and it still did block them. What do you need from me so that we can troubleshoot this problem effectively? The address range goes into the /var/db/whitelist file. One thing I noticed was that snort also automatically adds the local networks of the interfaces (/24s). This was kind of weird since I think this was the previous configuration that I had and it's still loading them even if what's left in the white list tab is the /16 and the /26 networks. Does snort have some sort of storage area for previous configuration and loads configuration from this file? Just thought this might help but I guess this is another story. sicnarf = francis :)
