    i am using pfsense 2.8.0 with haproxy 0.63_10 and i have 4 sites that redirect to two different web server, i am using two frontend, one for http request redirect to https using rule: scheme https, and a second with type ssl/https(tcp mode) to redirect the request with the acl and the action, now i want to add a new site to one of the web servers i create a new backend (and even tried duplicate) and add the proper acl and action as always did but for some reason since the update to 2.8.0 the redirect keeps going to the wrong backend, i tried a test and rewrote and old backend and updated the acl and rule in the frontend and it works fine, is there a known bug since the update because it keeps happening even after reboot to pfsense and the haproxy service and reinstall of the package.

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat.
    With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @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 :

    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.

    I had a similar issue with Routed VTI over IPsec recently. FRR lost its neighbors after rebooting or when a tunnel went down. It never re-discovered it automatically. Only restarting FRR (either in GUI or via CLI) brought the neighbors back.

    When I manually added those under the OSPF neighbors tab in the GUI it seems to solve the problem as well.

    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.

    Funnily enough I was researching this very topic today….I know the OP asked for a pfs package, but Im also interested in monitoring so I thought Id post this anyway, I came across CactiEZ, but you would have to run it on a spare box, which I plan to do in bridge mode, so it can capture all the data I need, some of the features from the site:-

    CactiEZ is a self installing Linux Distribution based off CentOS that sets up and configures a customized Cacti install. Everything is designed to be completely automated and working directly out of the box. This compact distro is loaded with extra features such as Syslog and Netflow data collection, Weathermaps, Reports, Auto Discovery, Router Config backup, Nagios, and much more! Both 32 Bit and 64 Bit installations are possible from the same CD.
    This gives your system administrators more time to work on the real issues, and less time configuring and setting up your Monitoring System. Best of all, its absolutely FREE!

    Its got quite a few nice plugins, including one for NTOP!

    http://cactiez.cactiusers.org/

    Ill setup it up in a few days or so when I have the time, Ill report back and tell how well it works with pfs.

    EDIT: another application I found http://www.ossim.net/

    To follow up on my problem.
    I had the BIOS configured for only one COM port as 02E8 but the system recognized this as COM1.
    running devinfo -r in a shell made me see the misconfiguration on my system
    The nut daemon was not configured in the GUI with the only port listed there as COM1 where in fact was a COM2
    Anyway I changed the settings in the BIOS to have the first port as 03E8 and second one as 02E8
    Now the UPS status is displayed fine

    Disable 'Not to allow IP addrtesses in URL' option and press Apply button in SG
    Also in squid GUI press Save on main page - that's all.
    Option 'Not to allow IP addrtesses in URL' conflict with transparent redirection in squid (i known't why) & for stable work you must off 'Not to allow IP addrtesses in URL' option.

    Those are warnings, not errors (hence the tag "Warning").  You can ignore them, or remove the rules that set those flowbits.

    @ecadmin:

    can the "2 floor IPs" be changed to a network block (say 192.168.15.0)??, and can the part that comes after the "dest IP =" be changed to a filename?? That is, this file will keep a list of all the websites that are allowed to the 2nd floor.
    Yes, 192.168.15.0/24 for example No, dest IP cant be filename, but possible use aliases

    oh, on my status screen it says i am using 25% of my 1.5gb.

    So if i want to run snort and ntop i should have a 4gb + pc?

    I have this on a 1.5ghz p4 with 1.5gb ram.

    Guess i will hold off installing snort until i get a new server for it.
