    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @wesley33taylor okay, now I have to ask, just due to being especially dense today, what and how did you do that? what do others need to change, so that there is written history for anyone else that might end up finding this thread and wanting to do the same, the usefulness of archival purposes and the desire to confirm I've done the same drive me to ask this. please advise.

    @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.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    resolved! Issue was the following I corrected a few things on your config: Your Outbound NAT configuration was malformed. I corrected it to utilize Hybrid mode and configured a single Outbound NAT for your Wireguard connection, which should be much cleaner. I updated your routing table to be Automatic and switched to Policy-based routing within the firewall rules under Firewall --> Rules --> LAN I updated the name of the interface for the Wireguard tunnel to be called TORGUARD and set the MSS clamping to 1350. This can probably be bumped back up to 1400, but I wanted to make sure the clamping was small enough to avoid fragmentation. I cleaned up some redundant firewall rules and a few other "odds and ends".

    I will second the 'Static port' suggestion under Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound NAT -> Manual Outbound NAT -> Static Port. This solved my Problems with NAT. Please leave siproxd as a package at least for the Full Install on non embedded. I have created a pfSense package FreeSWITCH which can also run as a SIP proxy or PBX. So now there are two choices for those that want a SIP proxy. There has also been requests on the forum for some time of an openSER package. I think siproxyd in the base of pfSense would actually limit pfSense. Before Firefox there was Mozilla bloated with many features many people didn't want. Internet Explorer also suffered from upgrades with features that very few people wanted. The concept behind Firefox was to make the additional features optional for those that want it. The 'Add-ons' in Firefox have grown immensely and many of them are very good. pfSense's packages is a feature that can help keep the base system from getting bloated which will help keep it fast and its requirements for system resources lower. pfSense package list is growing and I expect that the growth of it is just beginning.

    I've done this with squidhead(/w storeurl feature),vmware,pfsense 1.2. I just build an freebsd 6.3, compile squid, installed and tar. Then copy it to pfsense. Its been running for 3 month I think. Then I wipe out. I'm working now on pfsense 1.3 For performance tuning just Dig it on tuning FreeBSD you'll find it there. The default squid provided is not tuned so you have to edit some of squid.inc

    Individual redirection URL possible have for 'user destinations' entered on Destinations page. Blacklist standard items not relised for use  with this future (SG can, but GUI can't). Each ACL used for individual Source-set (source Ip's/domains/users). Time also used for ACL only. If you want use some rule as 24/7 with timed ACL - need select this rule in ontime and in overtime column. If you want use rule only for 'YouTime' - select you rule for left column only. –- You can see next tutorials:

    As promised hereby the things I discovered on your Quick Start squidguard http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm. I hope they're usefull: General Settings: on an Intel E2200 with 1 Gb ram: rebuilding blacklist (shallalist) costs about 20 seconds. The way I got squidguard to work I had to fill in at least one destination. By skipping this squidguard wouldn't work. With transparant proxy you can use ACL with IP-adresses perfectly. To use ACL with usernames you have to switch transparent proxy off.

    You can install about everything you could on a normal FreeBSD install. If you want to know how you should install a normal FreeBSD. http://www.freebsd.org/ Also: THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED. As fredde said: You should run as few services as possible on a firewall.

    you can update the packages by using the packages menu and then selecting "update XML" you do not need to deinstall / reinstall the whole package… and for your squid not working, please have a look, if all is configured properly... i test my package changes extensively before making them public so there is little chance for something going wrong...
