    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @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.

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.

    Dear @slu @jimp Thank you for your support, people - really appreciate! Failed to figure out what was that - probably some broken deps- I've had zenarmor manually installed and crowdsec. I actually had that in the system - removed rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/Zenarmor.conf rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf rm /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf but that didn't change anything I ended up fresh installing 2.7.2 from ISO, then upgrading to 2.8 and then restoring config (can't use netinstall as new installer doesn't want to connect to my pppoe during setup for unknown reason - so I can't use it, but it works just perfectly fine in GUI) Now the issue is resolved and I've installed acme just fine... can't tell what was that - I've been using pfsense maybe 10+ years.

    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?

    This is a firewall. Do not install packages or run scripts from other sources on it. That is a giant security nightmare. You have no way to verify that those packages are secure or properly built from trustworthy sources.

    The original subject of this thread has been solved. For help with squid, create a new post in the Cache/Proxy board and ask there if you still have questions or problems.

    The way that the Quagga OSPF package is written it assumes a basic, working configuration (interface, RID, area) has been deployed via the GUI. I've done a dummy config and then used the raw config fields to do whatever i want after that.

    The bundled horrible FreeRADIUS certificate manager (defaulting to MD5) has been removed from the package (starting with 1.7.8). Configuring proper certificates in the pfSense Cert Manager is a required configuration step now. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7170 https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/334 There is no way to migrate the old config if you were not using the pfSense cert manager before, you simply need to do the work yourself. Probably might put some file_notice() and/or install message before 2.4 is released.

    The workaround is to use what's used by the package. No such manual messing is supported.

    In the mean time, what NMS package would read the RRD data?  Most everything I see monitors via SNMP.  We use PRTG which grabs SNMP information but since the routers already log the info I'd rather just read them for continuity and accuracy.

    It's a basic web development operation. some hosts with A records point to digital ocean VPS, some development sites trickle down the local subnet and get port forwarded to boxes in the LAN. Those lan boxes need a local DNS record because the external DO dns record points to the router, not the local IP. www.domain.com > A record > DO dev.domain.com > CNAME > home network plex.home.dev > local A record 10.5.5.2 > home network * * * So it's a combination… I have lots of local stuff, that's not public, and DNS is easier that setting up hosts file on every machine. The problem with dns crashing still happened today with the DNS Resolver. Is there anything I can do to remedy this situation, and still keep my VPN clients active. I would prefer to have DNS and encrypted WAN.

    Hi, revengineer Just wanted to say thank you very much for your help. I tried it late last night and its worked perfectly. I tried /dev/cuaU0 just as you said and it worked. I had tried all the ports before but i dont think at the time i had set the panel to lkd so i wonder if that did not help. Im now hoping the get the keyboard options in LCD proc to work. Hopefully it will be just normal keyboard keys that it uses so i can just make get a little micro controller to imitate a usb keyboard and send the right ascii codes. Thanks again Trev

    @doktornotor: @docdawning: I'll consider extremely inexpensive alternatives, or other ideas. https://dns.he.net/ This WAS looking so so promising and I've gone down the road of having my stuff mostly setup here, but then I ran in to the deal-breaker: "Zone failed validation test. Wildcarding has been disabled due to abuse." Update: I contacted them and they confirmed they're not going to allow wildcarding. They said they'd manually rig it for me if I only had a few domains. While that would work for me, it's not a viable long-term solution for me. So I guess I'm back to getting pfsense's bind to meet my needs, hosting my own DNS server outside of pfsense or using a paid service.

    Thanks for this post ! I download pfSense-CE-2.4.0-BETA-amd64-20170404-1642, and I still have the problem " Proxy Authentication Required " when I try pkg update from the console. If I use "set" in the console I see http_proxy PROXYIP:8012 http_proxy_auth basic:*:user:password http_proxy_auth_pass password http_proxy_auth_user user http_proxy_port 8012 but nothing for https … could it be the problem ?
