    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @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.

    @jrey I found the DB sizes on Maxmind, and they are rather big, so i'm figuring it just takes time for such an anemic CPU to sort all that out.

    @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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    With Tailscale, I just recommend sticking with the FreeBSD15 version. Yes, it may currently work using the FreeBSD 14 package despite being on 15, but any number of other updates could result in that not being the case anymore. Not to mention the fact that any updates newer than 1.84.2_1 don't really impact functionality for what people would be using Tailscale for with PfSense so updating past that is not an absolute necessity. I run 1.86.4 on my desktop+phone and 1.84.2_1 on my pfsense router. Phone commonly uses the PfSense router as an exit node and there's no difference for PfSense. TL;DR: Better to be safe than sorry and stick with the FreeBSD 15 version even if it's not the latest version of Tailscale.

    Strangely enough, checking the system 4 days later, I now see that Wireguard service is reported running! The last thing I did 4 days ago was to disable Wireguard service monitoring by the Service Watchdog. Anyway, even when it was reported stopped at first, 4 days ago, the tunnels were working flawlessly. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

    @wickeren said in Freeradius with LDAP backend and 802.1x: Have set Active Directory Compatibility in the Freeradius LDAP settings and played around with the EAP settings. For now the default is PEAP, in the EAP-PEAP section the default is MSCHAPv2 and Copy Request to Tunnel is set to Yes. According to some info I have found this should be OK, but in my case it isn’t however. Still think it must be something there, but can’t figure it out yet. Hi , I tried to configure free-radius on Pfsense (authentication via ldap or Kerberos) , i have AD 2008 . can you share your configuration please

    Hi, Softflowd traffic is sending to the collector based on the pfSense routing table. In your case, I suppose you have got a static route to join the collector through OpenVPN1 interface. So, it's OpenVPN1 the source interface.

    Even if they were encrypted before being put in there, they are still in plain text in config.xml. If you don't like that, set the user password to MD5-Password and put the hash in and not the actual password in FreeRADIUS. Keeping them plaintext but encrypting/hashing them in the users file would be pointless.

    Open a ssh shell. Goto /var/log. Stop tinc in the gui. Save tinc.log somewhere, just in case. Do clog -i -s 511488 tinc.log #This makes a new bigger, blank, circular log file. Restart tinc in the gui In the gui Status -> Services restart syslogd Profit. For further investigation, find out how to fix this in the installation.

    Hi, Something you didin't mention, but probably did : When changing, for a example, the SOA in a zone file, and this zone is also updated by RFC 2136 (dynamic), you have to : rndc freeze <zone> Only now you can open, edit, and save the zone file. rndc reload <one> rndc thaw <zone> Syncing the ".jnl" == journal file is ok, buth bind keep the actual working zone structure in memory, not in the actual file you are editing. Btw : I don't know if all this is done by pfSense, but when you edit the file, use these 3 "rndc" sequences. The action is visible in the "general" log - if the bind package has such a facility : Example : 16-Aug-2018 15:30:14.300 general: received control channel command 'freeze home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr' 16-Aug-2018 15:30:14.300 general: freezing zone 'home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr/IN': success 16-Aug-2018 15:30:27.940 general: received control channel command 'reload home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr' 16-Aug-2018 15:30:35.636 general: received control channel command 'thaw home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr' 16-Aug-2018 15:30:35.636 general: thawing zone 'home.brit-hotel-fumel.fr/IN': success

    You should most likely create a new thread if you feel you have found a bug, and if can duplicate it then please open a redmine on it. Locking this thread since it is 7 years old. And freerad 2.x is no longer a new package anyway.

    @yummy909 said in Suricata fail to start: I gotcha. I will do some searching. Thank you for help getting over that hump. I didn't read that anywhere, where the core count causing that issue. Wonder what else that is effecting. The Suricata developers have worked on making that error message offer a better hint to the solution, but they still have a ways to go. There was some discussion about it on their bug site several months ago. This particular issue has bitten a handful of Suricata users on pfSense that have high core count CPUs. Bill
