    hey forum. maybe someone can help me with pfBlocker. I have this nice overview on pfsense mainpage but it logs nothing. [image: 1754330105763-overview.png] I found a related thread that never got resolved however https://forum.netgate.com/topic/175045/pfblockerng-not-logging-everything Is this normal behaviour? I am using the default out of the box settings here. When doing a nslookup of a blocked domain I seem to be getting the correct response. nslookup c.bing.com Server: 127.0.0.53 Address: 127.0.0.53#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: c.bing.com Address: 10.10.10.1 But I don't see anything logged in the main tab. Do I need to change something in this setting here: Global Logging/Blocking Mode By default it is set to "No Global Mode" [image: 1754330032261-stats.png] Under alerts I see my nslookups but it only shows "unknown" and not the actual website. I also expect more than just this to show up here when browsing the web. What do i need to change to get this to resolve properly? I have searched already and couldn't find a good answer. I am using Unbound btw. and this under general setup: [image: 1754330288353-dns-settings.png]

    @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.

    @Gertjan said in can I install a FreeBSD 14 pkg on a FreeBSD 15 pfSense?: If the package contains binaries : forget it. The ABI is different. It's not a hard and fast rule like that. It depends upon what the binary is, what dependencies it has, and how everything was compiled. I am currently running a binary package, which was built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE, on pfSense 25.07 (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT) without issue.

    @FSC830 Then I wouldn't use the same interface for that in the first place. pfsense will route no problem if a mobile device needs to access something behind the fritzbox.

    Update....I was far too quick in my judgement, after say 25 sec it worked . Pimd did it, with the above conf, but now I would like to know why, for instance what I don't understand is why don't I have to define an up- or downstream. Could you give me some insight how and why this works. Cheers Qinn

    @doktornotor : Why the antagonism? The fact is that the backups triggered by pfBlockerNg (an excellent package) are useless to the firewall Administrator. It would be nice if they could be eliminated, or reduced to once a day or only once-since-the-last-non-pfBlockerNg-triggered backup. I can't help but wonder at some of the (hopefully only apparent) arrogance of some of the posters on this forum. It's not constructive, and it's off-putting. We ge it,t OK? You (the snarky, elitist responders) are brilliant and we are just worthless plebeians. You could, and should, be courteous regardless of that (pseudo) fact.

    @mcuddy said in how to disable squid: @vallum said in how to disable squid: Psec or Gre That would be my problem. I did not create a tunnel. All I did was change the dns addresses. Check their documentation for further details At the moment, I don't know how to add the tunnel, nor the implications of doing it (am I likely to take the internet down while setting it up? etc.) I'll look into it. Do you have any direction here? You can create IPsec tunnel in pfsense , I don't see any issue with that. at securly end you need to create tunnel parameters like preshared key and IP address of site, subnet details etc. Then same information in Pfsense while setting up tunnel.

    @modesty said in SNORT: @bmeeks Hi. I only run windows + pfsense so Graylog is not for me. Can it be that there is no opensource log analyzer for snort logs? For pretty much all of the open source stuff out there for log consolidation and analysis, you are going to need a Linux box to host the software. I suggest a VMware host and then one or more Linux virtual machines. If you are a Windows shop, then Hyper-V can be your host and you can run the Linux VMs on it. The new fad these days is JSON logging, so most of the tools that ingest log files are tending toward accepting that format natively. However, some can still take plain text logs. You just might have to fiddle around with regular expressions and other minutia to get it working.

    @derklaus said in Question about snort + squid: Hello. I have a question regarding Snort + Squid package. Is it possible to add a Windows application to a whitelist with Snort? After that i want bypass a OpenVPN connection with the whitelist over squid. Would that be possible? You can only whitelist IP addresses in Snort, so if your Windows application runs on a specific server (as in on some host with a static IP), then the answer might be "yes". You can't whitelist by any kind of name, though.

    Because you installed it "offline" and not from the pfSense repository, it won't display in the GUI list. https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/releases/2-4-4-new-features-and-changes.html#errata
