    @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.

    @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: This IP does exist on my LAN but why it resolves some weird random desktop-sdshdsd.local? Then it's time to visit that device "192.168.1.85", and inspect it. pfSense was just replies on a DNS request coming from it. Loads of DNS request is 'normal' these days. Btw : buy yourself a big collection of connected devices (preference : 'foreign origin") and you wind up with loads of bizarre DNS requests. For example, a classic "Windows 11 Home" PC is already considered as 'bloated', which means that the list of all these xbox, candy store and other 'essential' processes is quiet big? And they all call 'home'. And ask yourself this question : "do you really know what users actually do with their devices" ? @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Also no 192.168.51.5 exists on my network either Is "192.168.51.5" a typo ? It doesn't show up in any logs ... If your pfSense LAN uses the 192168.1.1/24 network, and a device connected to that LAN using the 192.168.51.5, it can't communicate. A network with statically assigned IP info (IP, mask/network, gateways and DNS) is hard to manage. That's why DHCP was invented, and activated by default for every device you buy. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: I assume it is related to time servers? Why do you presume that ? Look them up and you'll see. "ntpns.org" is probably the NS server of ntp.org A lot of devices want to know the exact time. Even when DHCP can propose a time server - you can set up pfSense as a time server for your LAN devices - many devices will disregard this info, an insist in using their own hard coded time server source. For example, a Microsoft PC will default to time.microsoft.com, but you can set it to 192.168.1.1 or pfsense.your-sense-domaine.tld (which will point to 192.168.1.1 = pfSense). You could to do this for every LAN device. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: .local addresses What is your pfSense domain set to ? @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Its very mysterious and I only see this now with pfblockerNG. Set : Services > DNS Resolver > Advanced Settings : Log Level to : [image: 1754468971160-b17dd7a5-9427-497e-a3d0-5936024787b0-image.png] and save, apply. Now have a loo here : Status > System Logs > System > DNS Resolver or better : console : tail -f /var/log/resolver.log Don't forget to set back the Log Level to 1 !! ( !! ) as the resolver.log will get very big very fast. Conclusion : there is a lot of DNS traffic. These are all small packets, and finally just a small percentage of the total traffic.

    @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.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    @brunovic: So no one has any ideas on this? Why isn't pfSense passing the authentication to the py script like the other logins? Check the link above this post, auth is successful now. (Also, check the RADIUS server entry under System > User Manager, Authentication Servers tab. It must be set to PAP.)

    I'm not seeing that here at all. All of the interface names are correct, even for VLANS. Are you still seeing that now? Maybe try a 2.4.2 snapshot?

    Multiple instances are not possible. Usually you'd setup some sort of CHECK-ITEM for users based on some attribute sent by the different access points or SSIDs so that certain users are only valid on certain places.

    @Craash: The only odd thing I ran into was that I had to reboot my pfSense box after connecting my 2200 RM APC via USB. FWIW, this is a known issue. It's a permissions problem that happens only on first connect. You can solve it by disconnecting/reconnecting the USB connection or rebooting. There is a discussion of this issue here.

    All right, After posting this, I spend some time not focusing on my doubts on how I set up quagga and found some information about pfSense specific "issues" and found some posts about rc.newwanip. Tried commenting out "send_event("service reload packages");" and all my troubled was gone.. This is of corse no long time solution but quagga/ospf now seems to behave the way I pictured it. Anyone that knows if there is a possibility so disable the reload of a single package (quagga) when issuing the service reload packages?

    Thanks - turns out the problem is between the user and the keyboard (LOL) - I had changed my forum password in August and not realized that the same account controlled the Auto Backup.  Resetting the password in the Auto Backup has fixed this. However, note that I was getting a notification that the Backups were successful even though nothing was getting saved - you might want to look into this.  It would have been useful if the AutoBackup setup page included a verification that the data entered (access password) was functional when it was entered.
