    @pulsartiger 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 : [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.

    Re: How to update to the latest Tailscale version? I am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    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.

    @AR15USR: You have the latest version. If it were yellow color there would be an update. If it were red it is not fully installed. OK, dumb mistake. The stuff on the bottom is a legend, not a notification. Thanks.

    It may be something about the request, then. I have heard recently from the siproxd author that he is working on a new version, it's possible it's a bug that has been corrected there.

    There was an update to the quagga package to help here. The problem tends to be from an empty interface landing in the quagga configuration. It probably started to work after the package was updated on the server, so the reinstall pulled a fixed copy.

    @jbhowlesr: I'm not spreading bad info. My UPS is software dependant and without it, it doesn't operate like you specify. I know this because I have experienced a few power failures while using this UPS. With NUT only, my pfsense ran until it killed the battery in the UPS and hard powered off due to lack of power. With APCUPSd installed in ran until parameters were met in the settings I put in then it shut down my pfsense box before the battery died. Now as far as monitoring goes, I don't need a monitoring widget seeing how my UPS has a large LCD display on it. What I do need however is control fearures APCUPSd. I can't help but wonder if this was merely a NUT configuration problem.  Usually all the UPS does (regardless of model or software  on the host it is attached to) is report statistics, like % battery and estimated time left at current load, and the software processes this data and decides when to shut down the host. I wonder if there were some sort of permission issues preventing NUT from initiating proper shutdown, or if it was not reading the statistics from the UPS properly.

    You have to setup squid as transparent proxy, that wil allow lightsquid to see traffic. But in my experience Bandwithd gives you better ip info.

    @cmb: "No route to host" means you don't have a default gateway on the system. Or maybe that you have IPv6 configured internally but no IPv6 default route/Internet connectivity. Set the system to prefer IPv4 in that case under System>Advanced, Networking. Im marking this issue as solved and posting a thank you for the fix in the quote above. +1 Karma to cmb. Thank you for your reply. It solved my issue. It was indeed not having IPv6 under my WAN interface set to DHCP.

    Hello, I also work on integrating a custom version in a different Xfce Desktop Environment. After several tests, I found this solution which allows you to lock updates pkg : pkg lock pkg If you already installed, I advice you to reinstall everything because the "Package Manager" no longer work. Otherwise you can use the version "2.3.1 DEVEL", which integrates to date this version of PKG.
