    @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: prefer you see things with your own eyes. Or just believe my words : hook up a clean non tampered pfSense (you are allowed to change the password, nothing more - no packages) it will work. With very few to no DNS requests to handle. I am on it. But verifying it has not been tampered with is impossible even on a clean installation if it's embedded in firmware for example. Also don't I need to increase log levels or at least install pfblockerNG to even see any of these DNS queries? I only found them through pfblockerNG in the first place. In default logs it would not show up. @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Why ? Smart switches don't generate DNS requests. My QNAP switch has a section for IGMP snooping and LLDP. Maybe it has some stuff in it's "memory" that it is broadcasting? Sorry I have no idea. @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: The most important interface on pfSense is the "console" connection It always work. NICs can be down. What does that look like? Do I need a special hardware for that or does it work another way? I can only have a screen and keyboard plugged into the firewall. Does it offer a GUI/shell or direct input through that? Otherwise I am out of luck here. I only have IPMI on the board but that would need a connection to a different device as well so it's not ideal.

    @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.

    This is still an issue as of 2.8.0 / 25.07, and it drives me crazy. Gateway failure works as expected, the wireguard tunnels will fail over to the backup gateway and continue on as normal, but will never recover once the failed gateway comes back online. While a reboot will (usually) fix it, I usually just go into my routing settings and mark the secondary gateway as down, forcing it to revert back to the primary... the users tend to dislike it when I reboot the firewall in the middle of the day

    Yeah eap-tls is great, but you don't have to manually edit the eap.conf for it to work - can all be done in the gui. You pick the CA and certs from the gui. tls-config tls-common { private_key_file = ${certdir}/server_key.pem certificate_file = ${certdir}/server_cert.pem ca_path = ${confdir}/certs ca_file = ${ca_path}/ca_cert.pem dh_file = ${certdir}/dh random_file = /dev/urandom fragment_size = 1024 include_length = yes check_crl = no check_cert_cn = %{User-Name} cipher_list = "DEFAULT" cipher_server_preference = no ecdh_curve = "prime256v1" Example that is from my eap.conf - snipped out some stuff.. But you can see the path to certs and ca, and the cipher list, etc. So was just curious why you were trying set specifics for your list and curve, etc.

    @e-1-1 said in syslog-ng - send logs using TCP and TLS: @bmeeks first of all, thanks for all the work you're doing with Suricata! Yup, manual config is possbile with syslog-ng. Myself, I prefer to use GUI methods to minimize errors and configuration drift. I was sincerely hoping a GUI method is available. Am already using such a setup, but with Barracudas. Guess a feature request is in order for this. Or learn a little PHP programming know-how (if you don't have it already) and create a package for this feature. Become a volunteer package maintainer. That's what I did for Snort (when I took over its maintenance) and later when I created the Suricata package. That's the beauty of open-source software.

    hi, This, Authenticating OpenVPN Users with FreeRADIUS, tells me that Authenticating works. What you want, is Accounting, as is used by the Captive portal, enforced by the Interim option. Simply put, I guess, this isn't possible - not present in the GUI. See also https://networkradius.com/doc/3.0.10/raddb/mods-available/logintime.html If there is a way, it would be some setting (script ?) on the OpenVPN server side that should be called every xx seconds, so it can question FreeRadius if the actual logged in user is still allowed to stay logged in. Plan B : on the OpenVPN interface you put firewall rules. Schedule them in time ?

    SOLVED: I have a Cisco SG-350 downstream of the pfSense box(es). The problem definitely resided there. I had EEE turned on on the Cisco SG-350. The were no obvious other symptoms of this besides just port 53 on the native VLAN for the trunk between the SG-1100 and the Cisco SG-350, going down randomly within 24 hours. (more substantial test revealed that failure occurred as little as 10 minutes and as much as 21 hours) ~A

    If you want to create a nginx package, i think your welcome to do so. I'm sticking with haproxy package for the moment. And then still there is no reason i can think of to 'exchange' one for the other, they could both co-exist as pfSense-packages on the same installation. my 2 cents.. Regards, PiBa-NL

    I agree with @johnpoz. Looks like the OP is attempting to install and use the OpenVPN client package on a Windows 10 box either without using, or perhaps by not having access to, administrator permissions. Is this Windows 10 domain box perhaps at an office and employees do not routinely have local administrator permission? That would be a typical corporate setup, for sure.
