    i am using pfsense 2.8.0 with haproxy 0.63_10 and i have 4 sites that redirect to two different web server, i am using two frontend, one for http request redirect to https using rule: scheme https, and a second with type ssl/https(tcp mode) to redirect the request with the acl and the action, now i want to add a new site to one of the web servers i create a new backend (and even tried duplicate) and add the proper acl and action as always did but for some reason since the update to 2.8.0 the redirect keeps going to the wrong backend, i tried a test and rewrote and old backend and updated the acl and rule in the frontend and it works fine, is there a known bug since the update because it keeps happening even after reboot to pfsense and the haproxy service and reinstall of the package.

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    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 :

    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.

    I had a similar issue with Routed VTI over IPsec recently. FRR lost its neighbors after rebooting or when a tunnel went down. It never re-discovered it automatically. Only restarting FRR (either in GUI or via CLI) brought the neighbors back.

    When I manually added those under the OSPF neighbors tab in the GUI it seems to solve the problem as well.

    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.

    @gogol:

    Thanks for the clarification. I still had the old directories from the previous (2.5.4) installation and I was looking there. That brought some confusion. I uninstalled snort again, removed old directories and installed it again.

    You are doing a good job!

    Yeah, one of the things I added in this latest update was to try and do a better job of "cleaning up" when uninstalling.  Of course for the initial update from 2.5.4, or any earlier version, to 2.5.5, you will potentially have to do some manual clean up.  After that Snort should be a little better cleaning up.  It will leave some directories in the old locations, but they should be empty of files.

    For 2.0.x pfSense users, the Snort files are still in /usr/local/etc/snort.  But for 2.1 pfSense users, everything now will be in /usr/pbi/snort-{arch}/etc/snort where {arch} is either i386 or amd64, depending on your platform.

    I would like to make note. SSD's for Caching is not the best option.. They have number or write times and you could kill the SSD with Cache.. Not sure how long before that would happen but it will.  You will get good speed but short life.

    I got
    2.1-BETA1 (amd64)
    built on Tue Apr 9 15:18:17 EDT 2013
    FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p7

    snort Security 2.9.4.1 pkg v. 2.5.5

    And get this error now that I just upgraded this package.
    snort[37908]: FATAL ERROR: Failed to load /usr/pbi/snort-amd64/lib/snort/dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so: Cannot open "/usr/pbi/snort-amd64/lib/snort/dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so"

    I looked in folder and found that file. Nothing I did there fix it.
    I could change the library and all that but I just hope a fix without me having to do the hacking

    In this case I am not using a transparent proxy but local authentication and added users manually. I am doing this for testing purposes to see how things work out. Eventually if I see that everything is working out, then I am going to make use of Active Directory.

    There are multiple versions of the inline config - which are you using?

    Some clients only support tun and will choke if "dev tun" is there, such as OpenVPN Connect.

    If you use the "Others" choice for Inline it does have "dev tun" inside.

    Hard to understand for me what you write because google cannot translate it really good to german ;-)

    I am not PHP expert but as far as I understand it then the file "pkg_edit.php" + "freeradius.xml" + "freeradius.inc" generate the GUI.

    If you change anything from console like:

    vi /usr/local/etc/raddb/users

    then this will be overwritten If you click on "Save" on the GUI. This is because in the freeradius.inc there is a command which writes the content from the .XML to the file.

    SSL encrypts the data, not the address

    ??? what you call the "address" is facebook right, wich is a DNS resolution. DNS is layer 7. SSL encrypt everything after layer 3. That's why you can't block it by name .

    Apparently, the problem is that redirecting port 443 traffic through the proxy would interfere with the SSL connection and so it's not done.You can work around this by setting up your own certificate

    yes it's what I've said ! But its not the fastest and easiest way to do to it.

    that's why I recommanded to do it with firewall rules ;)

    I hope I were helpfull  ;D ;D
