    @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'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.

    @dvserg: Otto, probably first you configure SG on inplaced blacklist, and after download other blacklist ? You must go to Default and to the each ACL and reconfigure and save (then Apply). If you change blacklist type(source) to other, you must check all Acl's - Becose selected Dest rules already deleted and replaced by new dest-rules from new blacklist. ps This is one, why i can't add 'autoupdate blacklist'. Ok then… I'll have to do some more testing it seems. I have tested adding the blacklist from 'shalla' and loading that and ticking the 'use blacklist' box made the previous errors go away. I did however initially not want the blacklist feature to be used - I tried to add domain to be filtered manuall - but maybe I misunderstodd something. I have tested 2 different blacklists and tried to re-save default and ACL but I cannot get the service to start now. I see no errors though. I'll try to read up on links provided in other threads then... Thanks,

    I have my default set up. I then have in my source IP listing this: 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.2.0/24 10.0.3.0/24 When I apply this rule my defaults are ignored and only the ACL rule is enabled. I glean that this is because this is the only entry with these source IP's and so it becomes the first rule? If client found self ACL (by 'Src'), this client managed only with this ACL. Else, if client not found self ACL, then this client manages only with 'Default'. If you define ACL for 10.0.0.0/24, then this subnet will 'listen' the rules !only! from this ACL. Also when I go in to edit my rule it has taken out two of the subnets, leaving only 10.0.0.0/24 as the affected ip range. Sorry, cant meant this. (my english 'not ideal') For the source IP how can I have one rule apply to many subnets? (i.e. 10.0.0.0/24 AND 10.0.3.0/24) = one Dest rule for for several ACL's = Create self Dest rule (page Destinations) - for example with name 'bad_dest' Create ACL 'my_10_0_subnet' for 10.0.0.0/24 and set white|allow|deny for 'bed_dest' rule Create ACL 'my_10_3_subnet' for 10.0.3.0/24 and set white|allow|deny for 'bed_dest' rule Is there anyway to have the ACL list apply to any source No way. Each ACL - unique world for his 'src' settings. But 'Default' - common for any, who not found self in ACL's [image: noname.jpg_thumb] [image: noname.jpg]

    Checking back in to report…  I fixed it myself within a day or so. From the command line (via console or ssh) it was possible to see that there was really only one instance of Squid, it was just showing up twice in the interface, so that indicated a problem with the GUI interface to the package. What resolved it for me was removing the Squid XML sub-package, and reinstalling it, then rebooting.  (I believe that was the sequence.)  I did not need to reinstall Squid itself.

    You already answered your own questions.  Packages aren't for embedded.  Yes, you can get around the limitation but then you are doing something unsupported.

    i wanted to say thanks for this, i wasn't able to update snort until making this edit thanks @drarkanex: changing server.max-write-idle  doesn't work for me.  The moment I add this to system.inc and restart the webconfigurator, the webapp doesn't come up.  Removing this from system.inc the webapp functions normally. Also, i'm downloading the rules from snort.org manually now and i'm getting about 90kps avg  (50kps is some places) and the webapp times out before it can grab about 73MB of rules.  This really needs to be addressed soon. Also, Devels, can we get a lighttpd config panel in the webapp please? Also, in system.inc is it server.max-write-idle  =  "720" or server.max-write-idle = 720 with or without quotes?

    Is this the ext redirect?  Will it work when loaded in the /usr/local/www folder?  What will the exact code be?  What type of image - jpg, png, gif?  I am using proxy in transparency mode.  I have been getting the "error" minor bug, I read about in a different squidguard thread.  Squid and LightSquid is working properly.  I am currently trying to get squidguard working using the bigblacklist.  Thanks guys.

    snort is a known performance problem.  Depending on your configuration and network traffic I wouldn't be surprised that a 2.5 GHz P4 causes problems.  It could also be that the blocked list is massive and hence that's the problem. More information will be required to help you, not least of which is more information on your hardware (such as what network cards you are using) and what versions of pfSense and snort you're using.

    tendabiru You have to edit /boot/loader.conf (diagnostic/edit file from pfSense GUI) and comment (put # in the beginning of line) kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0". After this you need to restart squid service (status/services from pfSense GUI) or restart pfSense itself (diagnostic/reboot system from pfSense GUI). Hope it will help.

    @dvserg: @Shinatama: My pfsense also can't block sites, if i active ACL. I wanna set 1 ACL base time to block Friendster and Facebook , but if i set ACL other site not blocked, example porn (always block alltime). Already try create 2 ACL, still doesn't work. Now my Facebook and Friendster can't be block by time. ACL 1 setting block all porn, but give default all access = allow with base all day. ACL 2 setting block FB & FS, but give default all access = allow with base on time. if i don't use ACL i can't block by category, but i want to block base time too, please advise. Possible view you SG config ? it seem the problem is the ip address, cause i'm set the ip client is 192.168.0.0./24 for all ACL rule. so it seem it read only 1rst rule cause of it. i've resolved the problem, now i'm using 1 ACL rule base on time, block FB & FS, and block Porn all time. Just set deny on right and left, in acl rule. But hope this will upgrade so i can use multiple acl rule… thx for you help..
