    @nick23369 You don't have to wait for the official fix. Adding the directive load-server-state-from-file none to each backend will override the default behavior and makes HAProxy backend changes take effect immediately. This is the easiest - do it one time and it's done. You can also stop HAProxy, delete run rm /tmp/haproxy_server_state from Diagnostic > Command Prompt, and then start HAProxy. There is no problem with HAProxy, it just takes some extra work to make negate the hardcoded config settings and make backend changes apply immediately without having to reboot pfSense.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

That's probably good thing ? ( ! ). Up to you to discover why your NAS should initiate connections to these countries. A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    Second, i have 5 Interfaces, in the Screen with the Interfaces Status ("WAN up" and so on), i never see all Interfaces because its only one Colums. Can i change it so the Interfaces are in different rows? The Interfaces widget on the dashboard has a summary of up/down state of each interface. And in the current release you can filter the list to just display the interfaces that you care about.

    MAC addresses are local to the connected ethernet segment, they are meaningless on any other context because they are not used in connections that cross routing points.

    @derek_bartram: Hi, I'm having some difficulty getting to grips with temperature sensing on my Firebox x1250e with pfsense 2.2.6-RELEASE (i386) A number of sites include the pfsense docs site mentions it is possible using mbmon, however it appears the docs are out of date (there is references to pkg_add command which doesn't appear to exist). Does anyone know how I could get this installed please? Alternatively something similar to check system temperature. I'm looking to turn the fan speed down somewhat as it's currently unacceptable to the missus, but I don't really want to turn it down to low if system temperature is going to be excessively high. –--- FROM DOC SITE ----- If you have modified the cooling in the box such as reducing the fan speed or swapped out the CPU for a more powerful one it's a good idea to test the maximum temperature is still within a sensible value. You can do this by monitoring the cpu temperature while forcing the CPU to 100%. On the XTM5 box you can use the coretemp module to directly read the CPU core. This is built into 2.1 already and information is on the forum to read it in 2.0.X. All the other boxes require the use of an older program to read the thermal sensor connected to the SuperIO chip, mbmon. Remount the filesystem RW (if you're running Nano) then install it: pkg_add -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.3-release/Latest/mbmon.tbz <<< Failing step, with Command not found. Then issue a rehash so pfSense knows where the new binaries are: rehash Monitor the system temperature: mbmon -I Im having the same problem, some hope somebody can help. //Nerone

    Hi quadrinary, Thanks for your reply. Since my post, our firewalling solution is in master/slave mode without any outage. Your reply seems to be a good idea. We will test in the last few nights and give you a reply. Bertrand

    Hi Again, I narrowed down my findings. I logged in through the shell and notice that the actual zone files in the slave server are not being updated (though the GUI is synced with master). Deleting the zone files from the slave and resyncing solves the issue of replying of old records. It seems that the zone transfer works fine when there is no existing zone file in the slave. Sadly, it is unable to update if there is any existing file. I figure that the XMLRPC syncs the backend database of the GUI. To my understanding, it is then supposed to either generate the slave zone file based on that data, or it should initiate a transfer of the actual zone file of the master (like any other master-slave dns zone transfer). I am still unsure if there is configuration mistake or its happening because of a bug. I'll appreciate any help, opinion or suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, you can test with freebsd original package at http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/latest/All/ or in older realeases at http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:10:amd64/ search for squid. and pkg install …. I use this method for revert Quagga package 11.0_2 to 0.99.16. And we use this package only with vtysh console on PFsense. it's possible that PFsense squid GUI package not working after that. Backup your conf ! Bertrand
