    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.

    @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.

    @digitaljessica Try entering a space in the USB Type field. For some reason that passes input validation and allows you to save the config settings.

    @huseby_lucas I would expect it to be your "PC / Remote client" that is a 2.4.xx version. You could download an upgrade from OpenVPN.

I am going to try and test it today and make sure all aspects of it work. It is obvious after looking at his coding I don’t have a clue what I am doing. I am too old school........grin In fact its important that you get what you want! Regards, fireodo

    Ok - so that was an issue that it would auth, even without users in the freerad users.. And you fixed that. So now I just add them that match the CN on the certs.. Not a big deal.. Thanks!! All back to working for my 3 devices.. And it does make sense.. That users should also have to be listed in freerad to match the CN on the cert. And - makes it easy to just delete a user vs worried about revoking a cert, etc. etc.. Thanks again for looking into this so quickly and link to the other bug that was fixed.. That was causing my problem. edit: Project for this weekend maybe is moving to eap-tls via wpa3-enterprise.. I got wpa3 working on my psk ssids.. But have to do some reading - Not sure wpa3-enterprise really gets me all that much over wpa2-enterprise.. Can use a higher level encryption sure.. But not sure if makes any sense when using eap-tls.. Some reading to do.. But wpa3-psk is working nice.. Sad part is - with all these shitty iot devices, that don't support wpa3, you have to still run in wpa2/wpa3 mode..

    @viktor_g I had that. I left out one key bit of information which I was unaware was relevant at the time: That is, my SG-3100 was running multiWAN and my Tomato router was behind it. I had issues with NAT reflection requirements that I did not sort out completely before giving up on that configuration. I moved the Tomato router from behind the SG-3100 and put it directly on it's own WAN connection and then the Tinc UDP flowed fine in both directions. How was the bandwidth using iperf3? Not great. At 15mbps the single core of the Tomato router (an Asus RT-AC66U) was maxed out while one of the cores of the SG-3100 never exceeded 16% running tincd.

    @nick-loenders If you do not have servers, is it safe to assume there are minimal amount of clients? You can create the CA on the pfsense firewall and then export that certificate and install it in the root store of the devices in order to use SquidGuard with HTTPS/MITM functionality. Otherwise SquidGuard has to be configured as a proxy to use HTTPS filtering. The HTTP filtering alone doesn't require further client configurations but most connections these days are through SSL. Otherwise, you can configure the pfsense as DNS unbound resolver and utilize pfBlockerNG which can block TLD's, and connections based on source country/region (DNSBL). pfBlocker will also let you utilize lists such as Dshield and Spamhaus to filter out bad sites and domains by IP address. Short of all that 'hassle', you might be more interested in a next-gen layer 7 firewall from a different vendor, but they are considerably more expensive and require maintenance contracts to continue functioning properly.
