    @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: is impossible even on a clean installation if it's embedded in firmware for example. Because "you don't want to". (no time, other interest, etc) Remember : pfSense is 'open source' **. So, here it is - to be seen by everybody who takes the effort to understand what it all means. ** granted : the FreeBSD kernel has its own github source tree, and can be found else where. Maybe there are a process or two (binaries) that are owned by Netgate without freely accessible source but these can be reverse engineered (tools exist) if you really want to know what happens in there. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: In default logs it would not show up. And that's a good thing. Just know that you can see them if you need to. pfBlockerng makes already nice stats for you. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: What does that look like? On this kind of devices : My 4100 : there is no VGA or HDMI connector. So, when the system boots, you can't see the BIOS, you 'see' nothing untill the web GUI engine starts. For that to work, a LAN interface needs to be up. For an interface to be up, the system had to boot to the end without errors. So, these devices have a "serial port". That port is sued to spit out the BIOS and boot process. Hook up a serial 'USB' connector, and use a terminal emulator. If you use a "PC" as a pfSense device then you have a video card, and USB mouse, keyboard etc so that will be your 'console' access. Hook up a screen and you see the boot process etc. Another example : your smart switch , How do you access the GUI ? => with a web browser. You can't attach a VGA screen to it neither. What happens when the firmware update fails ? You have to use the console access - if one exist. If it doesn't : you waste bin the device as no access anymore. Neither your APs, Printers, coffee machine, airco; whatever. Most have a 'hidden' serial connection for low 'console' level access. Always 'command line based' of course.

    @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.

    This is still an issue as of 2.8.0 / 25.07, and it drives me crazy. Gateway failure works as expected, the wireguard tunnels will fail over to the backup gateway and continue on as normal, but will never recover once the failed gateway comes back online. While a reboot will (usually) fix it, I usually just go into my routing settings and mark the secondary gateway as down, forcing it to revert back to the primary... the users tend to dislike it when I reboot the firewall in the middle of the day

    You had a whitespace (" ") between /var/squid/logs and * which means you deleted the directory you were in. If this was /usr/local/www (you can check with "pwd") that can be fixed with "tar -C / -xvf /usr/local/share/pfSense/base.txz usr/local/www" and "mkdir /var/squid/logs && chown squid:proxy /var/squid/logs"

    @johnabbot: The one I posted That's not a crash report, probably a failure to load the table. @johnabbot: Did you raise the Firewall Maximum Table Entries? No It is mentionned many many times that if you are using GeoIP tables, you need to raise Firewall Maximum Table Entries in System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT @johnabbot: Go to Firewall / pfBlockerNG / Africa tab and see if your selection are still fine. Hit Save, then do a Force Reload IP. Check the logs after. Force Reload IP gives this [ DNSBL FAIL ] [ Skipping : GJTech ] [1472209734] unbound-checkconf[85421:0] error: error parsing local-data at 30 '}).filter(' 60 IN A 10.10.10.1': Syntax error, could not parse the RR's TTL [1472209734] unbound-checkconf[85421:0] error: Bad local-data RR }).filter(' 60 IN A 10.10.10.1 [1472209734] unbound-checkconf[85421:0] fatal error: failed local-zone, local-data configuration I don't see anything in the logs @RonpfS: The http://adblock.gjtech.net/?format=unix-hosts doesn't seem to be available anymore. Just turn the list state to OFF. When a list fails to load, use the URL and load it in the browser. That URL is now just a standard Web page, the same as http://adblock.gjtech.net, so something changed at that site. Fetching a Web page to pfBlockerNG will certain cause failure. It is good practice to monitor the pfblockerng.log on a regular basis to see what is happening. That list has been broken since 08/13/16.

    It should be possible to place the log-format directive in the advanced sections of your choice with frontend/backend and specify what exactly you would want to log.. Some info on its parameters here: http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/snapshot/configuration.html#8.2.4

    That probably means that the webpage the healthcheck is checking is taking quite a bit of time to complete. Which might mean its keeping your webserver 'busy' just with the haproxy healthchecks.. You might want to try and configure a smaller/faster page to perform the actual checks against, but do try to still make it check the full chain (database connection & file storage present) so it wont stay 'UP' when the actual website is failing for endusers.

    my solution is quite simple: copy nginx.conf with basic setup, and add something like include path/to/conf.d and run nginx with -c flag. i also installed Shellcmd to autostart my nginx at boot. and, of course, don't forget to forward ports from EXT interface to your nginx.
