    @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?

    Here is where you can get the snort2c source code. http://snort2c.sourceforge.net/ Im not sure what your asking about blocking source. Im moving the snort package to use spoink and snort-inline. James

    jits, a "SHELLCODE x86" alert means that snort has detected binary code in your internet traffic. Binary code is in all kinds of http traffic like flash videos, images but, in rare instances it can be a sign of an attack like a buffer overflow. The alert you have sounds like a false positive since the alert originates from port 80 (http server). Add a threshold that ignores SHELLCODE x86 alerts that originate from port 80. James

    jim-p made some changes to the code and as a result snort2c is starting without permission. I'll fix it tonight…....... jim-p is a way better coder than me so its not his fault. As for your alerts when going to sourceforge. you may have to disable that alert or threshold it. james

    pfSense FreeSWITCH package does not have ZRTP yet. It is planned to be added as time permits for UnixDawg. Regular encryption does work and its pretty easy to setup. Using TLS or SSL for SIP and SRTP. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SRTP http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Tls#TLS.2C_SSL_and_SRTP_Encryption

    @Bern: You're not being transparently proxied then. UGH! I'm confused by the concurrent use of Squid and HAVP. It appears HAVP is running (via whatismyip) but now Squid is not.

    I have the same problem on 1.2.2 - traffic continues to flow and I can still access BandwidthD and darkstat but the WebGUI doesn't appear even after restarting the Web Configurator via an SSH shell.

    Thanks to everyone that tried. So that's 2 that worked….2 did not. Where is the "regional update server setting" Are you speaking of the location that AV updates are downloaded from? That is set to US, but not sure if that would really cause a problem with an external server being that it is an internal setting. Yes/No ?  :-\

    @ToxIcon: I put the image in the /usr/local/share/examples/havp/templates/en/Stop.jpg   but The image wont load I also would like to change the template that shows when squid blocks a page where is that located I have attach a file I haven't played around with the Squid template so I don't know. But as far as HAVP is concerned, upload the graphic to a file-hosting site and link it directly using http://yourfilehere instead of file://yourfilehere.
