    @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Is "192.168.51.5" a typo ? It doesn't show up in any logs . DNS-reply,Aug 5 10:39:03,local,PTR,PTR,Unk,5.51.168.192.in-addr.arpa,192.168.1.86,NXDOMAIN,unk It does but with reverse DNS This all seems to happen since changing to Unbound Python mode. Or has a Hacker created a subnet? I can't see anything in pfsense related to that subnet or those domains being looked up. I also see for the first time in my firewall logs the information next to WAN saying "Direction is out". Never saw this before. I feel like something opened up since installing pfblockerNG . I am the only one using the devices behind pfsense. Its just a work computer and a laptop. Both create these weird DNS requests to hometheater-%RANDOMSTRING%.local for example. But its mostly my work computer doing these lookups @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: What is your pfSense domain set to ? mypfsense.arpa not even .local. But I see these logged by pfblockerNG with "local.home.arpa" AAAA,AAAA,Unk,hometheater-wadq2.local.home.arpa,127.0.0.1,ServFail,unk I just don't understand all these domains and they sound sus if you take a look: devmachine-FKcElwG.local mypc-DogOjT5.local desktop-ZmWfGXFW.local desktop-A5k217Qu.local hometheater-WADQ2.local hometheater-tQNIYv.local hometheater-ejsl1t.local surveillance-GanzOF.local fileshare-7JksiB.local mediacenter-VAY4Bk.local Can this just be randomly generated with no purpose? I tried packet captures of DNS traffic and these things dont show up there since they often orginate from 127.0.0.1 Or could it come from the ISP router in front of my pfsense? But it should block mDNS already afaik and even after blocking port 5353 I still see these .local things.

    @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 : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-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.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    Well, Firefox 3.0.10, no proxy exceptions - I get no DNS lookups on my LAN, which is what I've observed elsewhere. Try Google Chrome, IE or any other browser and see if the problem goes away.  If it does then there is a problem with your Firefox install, probably related to one of the extensions or a setting you've changed.  Try a fresh profile and repeat the tests.

    Managed to sort it.  As this is a test system I have been playing with it plugged into a 2Wire Adsl router.  Turns out the 2wires content filter had been switched on and was blocking access to the packages for download. Cheers for all the help.

    Two Methods can be used: SIP Registration: You can make calls from one FreeSWITCH system to another simply by creating an extension on one FreeSWITCH system and on the other FreeSWITCH system you setup a gateway that registers to the extension on the first system. Then you can setup and use the Gateway like you would any other Gateway. You can then reverse the process and have equal access to call between both systems. Non Registration: (SIP URI) Another way is to use a SIP URI to the other system from the dialplan tab. The remote system that is being called would need a route set from the public tab to allow and direct the call. This could be done on both sides. Allowing calls to be moved from one system to another.

    Use only if your disk can't handle such very very  busy small content. coss is deffirent from other cache so you cant replace aufs with coss. /cache0/coss is a file not a directory like the others. cache_swap_log will be your new swapt.state for all your cache_dir . All swap.state stays but will not be used when enabling coss. Upon starting coss will always rebuild. Enabling coss will also rebuild all your cache. custom configuration: cache_dir coss /cache0/coss 1024 block-size-512 max-size=10240; cache_swap_log /cache0/cache_swap_log; cache_dir aufs /cache1 19092 16 256 min-size=10240

    A kludge might be, if you catch it in the log fast enough, to check the state table and see which machine(s) is/are getting nat'd out to port 51806, though since this is DNS traffic it might be going through the DNS forwarder. You could also just scan your network for Conficker-infected hosts, apparently nmap's script for this is fairly reliable. See the post on the nmap page about scanning for Conficker.

    The transparent redirect part comes from a redirect command written in a configuration file.  I think it is located here: /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc from line 1204 on The best advice I can provide would be to start a bounty - there are several people here that would be able to complete this task in just a few minutes, it seems very doable.  The actual commands in the file are Greek to me.  Good luck.

    Thanks.  I might look at adding a reverse proxy package.  It looks like IIS7 has this feature.  I will check it out first to see if it fits my requirements.  I am just thinking what will scale and perform better.  Implementing this at the firewall or an internal server.
