    @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.

    Re: How to update to the latest Tailscale version? I am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection. If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application? Thanks.

    @canernecocaner said in How do I install packages manually ?: @bmeeks Thank you very much for your answer. I understood the warnings and vulnerabilities. But I use pfsense for the hotspot.(I'm recording local users' internet access) There is another firewall in front of the pfsense, for security purposes. The subject I still don't know is this; Where,why can I download these packages (with additional shared libraries they are dependent on) from any windows computer and then transfer,install them to pfsense? Thanks You will need to locate a repository that keeps pre-compiled pkg format *.txz archives of the programs you want to install. That repository will also have to be the same FreeBSD version as your pfSense firewall. Currently the pfSense-2.4.5_p1 release is based on FreeBSD-11.3/STABLE. It may prove difficult to find an 11.3/STABLE public repository of compiled packages. You can use the built-in pfSense package repository as the pkg utility on the firewall is pre-configured to point there. However, that repository may not have all of the packages you want or need. That's because it is geared to supporting only what pfSense and its officially supported packages require. Another option is create a FreeBSD-11.3/STABLE virtual machine, download and install the portsnap FreeBSD ports tree, and then compile the packages you need yourself into the required *.txz format for later transfer over to pfSense and then manual installation there. However, by the time you go to this much trouble you may as well just install the mysql DB server on that FreeBSD virtual machine (back to my original suggestion). This is "hard" because it is not a good thing to do, and few if any folks try it. Otherwise there would be a ton of "how-to" links on the web and everyone would have all kinds of other software applications running on their firewalls. I seriously doubt you will find an easy "click here, click there and presto it's done" way to do what you desire. Instead of trying to install all this on a pfSense machine, why not use the bare metal hardware running pfSense to run a hypervisor like Proxmox, ESXi, Hyper-V, etc.? Then on the hypervisor you can create a pfSense virtual machine for the Captive Portal function, then create a separate FreeBSD-11.3/RELEASE virtual machine and install the mysql stuff there. Easy-peasy to do that without needing to transfer files around, compile packages yourself, or try to find a compatible public repository of pre-compiled packages.

    Solution: Services > Squid Proxy Server SSL/MITM Mode: Splice All. Splice All: This configuration is suitable if you want to use the SquidGuard package for web filtering. All destinations will be spliced. SquidGuard can do its job of denying or allowing destinations according its rules, as it does with HTTP. You do not need to install the CA certificate configured below on clients. Content filtering (such as Antivirus) will not be available for SSL sites.

    @bauerfyr to automate starting the service, create a wrapper file and place it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and you MUST have an extension of .sh, and it'll run. My file is "amazon-ssm-agent-wrapper.sh" and the contents are: #!/bin/sh DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "$0" )" && pwd )" sh $DIR/amazon-ssm-agent onestart For the LOGGING of ssm agent to cloudwatch (if you are interested) you have to take the wayback machine b/c the ssm agent 2.3.x is so ancient. go to /usr/local/etc/amazon/ssm, create a new file (start fresh) called seelog.xml (you'll see templates there), sample below. I wanted to split into two separate logs files, but it doesn't look possible. !--amazon-ssm-agent uses seelog logging --> <!--Seelog has github wiki pages, which contain detailed how-tos references: https://github.com/cihub/seelog/wiki --> <!--Seelog examples can be found here: https://github.com/cihub/seelog-examples --> <!--References to mods: --> <!--How to add cloudwatch: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/monitoring-ssm-agent.html --> <!--For "deep" examples: https://github.com/cihub/seelog/wiki/Example-config --> <seelog type="adaptive" mininterval="2000000" maxinterval="100000000" critmsgcount="500" minlevel="info"> <outputs formatid="fmtinfo"> <console/> <!-- <file path="/var/log/amazon/ssm/amazon-ssm-agent.log"/> --> <rollingfile type="size" filename="/var/log/amazon/ssm/amazon-ssm-agent.log" maxsize="10000000" maxrolls="5"/>- <filter levels="error,critical" formatid="fmterror"> <rollingfile type="size" filename="/var/log/amazon/ssm/errors.log" maxsize="10000000" maxrolls="5"/>- <!-- LINE BELOW DOESN'T WORK YET - it gets overwritten by next "cloudwatch_receiver stmt."--> <!-- <custom name="cloudwatch_receiver" data-log-group="ssm-agent-errors"/> --> </filter> <!-- ENTER THE CLOUDWATCH LOG GROUP NAME AFTER 'data-log-group' --> <custom name="cloudwatch_receiver" formatid="fmtinfo" data-log-group="ssm-agent-log"/> </outputs> <formats> <format id="fmterror" format="%Date %Time %LEVEL [%FuncShort @ %File.%Line] %Msg%n"/> <format id="fmtdebug" format="%Date %Time %LEVEL [%FuncShort @ %File.%Line] %Msg%n"/> <format id="fmtinfo" format="%Date %Time %LEVEL %Msg%n"/> </formats> </seelog>

    @gertjan said in Bind - Setup pfSense as slave DNS server: your DNS zone has to be fully IPv6 and IPv4 Don't agree with this.. While sure if you have IPv6 then yeah be nice to do that.. But it sure doesn't have to do anything IPv6.. And while I agree you should do dnssec - again not a requirement.. You do not have to setup dnssec - and people using dnssec will still resolve you. Unless you try setup dnssec and you mess it up.. Then yeah if your dnssec fails you won't resolve. He is trying to show you that yes it gets complicated very quickly.. But when it comes down to setting up a slave. You tell your master what IP are you slaves, and you setup the zones on your slave and tell them the IP of the master. But he makes a good point about your PTR.. Can you even set that either of your NSers IPs? That really should be set.. Is where you running pfsense even a static IP? What are you going to do if someone attacks your dns? What are you going to do if someone tries to use your NSers for a amplification attack and you didn't secure for that? What your using for NS should not be recursive.. An authoritative NS should not do queries for other clients. They only should answer for the domains they are authoritative for..
