    Hi Andrew, thanks for the tip. I forgot reply here. In our case, the problem was the hardware. Since 2013 I use the same hardware an Athlon LE-1620(1 Core) with 2GB. Some months ago, we created an app with many HAProxy rules and the access is growing. We bought one fanless with Intel J6426 and 8GB and now it´s work fine.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    ACME pkg v1.0 is rolling out shortly for pfSense Plus 25.07, 24.11, and CE 2.8.0. It may be a while before it shows up depending on build times. Bug fixes/changes: Synchronized with upstream acme.sh version 3.1.2 (master branch) Various upstream bug fixes for DNS providers Removed deprecated OCSP stapling options https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/16195 Fixed a bug with nsupdate and challenge aliases https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15061 Added initial support for custom ACME servers Add servers on the General Settings tab. Note: This feature has undergone basic testing, however, there is no way to know if it will work against any custom ACME server, and there is no way for the package to know which validation methods are supported by an ACME server. Use at own risk. Test before deployment. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9833 Existing Provider Changes: Gandi LiveDNS has deprecated API keys and now uses a Personal Access Token (PAT). Configure the new PAT option to ensure future updates work. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/16294 Active24 changed from a single Token to an API Key + API Secret and must be reconfigured before use. Selectel API version v1 is deprecated, but still available as a new option, along with new API v2 options. Must be reconfigured before use. New DNS Providers: Beget.com EdgeCenter.ru FreeMyIP.com HE.net DDNS Mijn.host OpenProvider via REST API Spaceship Technitium ZoneEdit Note: The change from 0.9 to 1.0 does not reflect any particular significant change in the package, but it has been stable for so long that keeping its version number below zero no longer made sense.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    Just a follow up, this is resolved. It was actually an issue with the provider that was not working. They had to update a MPLS record on their side. Once they did that, it worked as expected and fails over automatically.

    @belrpr If you do not specify a domain name in the DHCP server, it will use the domain name of the firewall. This is almost certainly what you want. Unless you are trying to achieve something very specific, I would recommend staying with the defaults (delete the domain name specification from both DHCP and from Avahi).

    Think about how network traffic works on a firewall. Once your LAN host initiates a conversation with another external host (through your LAN and then out of your WAN, for example), pfSense creates a state table entry that will now allow that external host to talk back to your internal LAN host. So if the external traffic starts a session it will be the "source" and your LAN host is the "destination". This would be the case if you clicked a web site URL. The web server will become the "source" of the web traffic and the browser and your LAN host the "destination" as the web server sends the HTTP or HTTPS traffic back to you. So who is "source" and who is "destination" changes back and forth during operation.

    Ok understood. I can set the 4 BGP Neighboors as Gateway. But these are non routable blackholes which request one of our RIPE-Public IP to be the source. Is that configurable? Source 1.1.1.1/32 -> GW 2.2.2.2/24 Like it can be done on Diag-Traceroute for the Source-Interface. But now for the whole system.

    iperf3 does json which way better than csv To be honest iperf on pfsense not really all that good anyway, its a router - you should be doing iperf "thru" it not to or from it. Go to one of the hundreds of places online to convert your json to csv or excel example http://convertcsv.com/json-to-csv.htm

    patched by me: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/632 With this patch, when you revoke a certificate you need to go to radius config -> eap and "SAVE" to regenerate the CA+CRL file. Next patch coult be add a funcion similar to openvpn_refresh_crls() that should be called from /usr/local/www/system_crlmanager.php when you update all the other CRLs. This is my 2nd day on PFSense, so first I need to see if there is a functions file dedicated to components not installed as default and then write the function. Any advice?
