    @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.

    Re: How to update to the latest Tailscale version? I am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection. If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application? Thanks.

    @RyanM said in HA Proxy and 503 error on pfSense: So let's say my domain is internaldomain.com Does domain resolve to your public IP in a public DNS? If it doesn't, you won't get a Let's Encrypt cert at all. Is HA Proxy good for what I am trying to do? So I have self-signed certs for several internal hosts/services. Yes. You can install self-signed certs on your backend servers and direct all traffic over HAproxy, even from internal. However, you must not enable "SSL checks" in the backend. The better way, however, would be to generate the internal certs with a CA on pfSense. Then you can confiugre HAproxy to trust the CA and accept the server certs. When getting error 503 "service not available", the backend either does not respond to heath checks or the service is not reachable, or something else in HAproxy is configured wrong. So first of all go to the stats page and check if the backend is shown up as "online". If not check the health check configuration.

    @clearscreen said in Avahi trying to broadcast on public interface?: Then, I'm not sure what'd cause Avahi to publish on the public interface. It stems from Avahi's use of a single socket bound to all interfaces, which leaves a lot of room for problems. mDNS-Bridge uses individual sockets bound to each configured interface which precludes these kind of issues.

    @aaronouthier said in Looking for few pointers getting Suricata on PFSense to talk to my Security Onion box.: Ok, so I've been researching the topic. It seems SO has an integration for PFSense. However, the FreeBSD implementation of Syslog is not optimal for this purpose, as mentioned above. Although I am comfortable with CLI Linux, I am effectively a Newbie with regard to BSDs. My next question is: What would be the least invasive method as far as the PFSense Box to export just the Suricata logs? I believe I saw an option to log to a Unix Socket. Would that be helpful coupled with something like Netcat? I'm not necessarily looking for help with such a feat, just wondering if such would likely be fruitful, or am I just chasing the infamous wild goose? I recommend exporting the EVE JSON log as that will be the most comprehensive. To export to a UNIX socket, change the EVE OUTPUT TYPE setting to UNIX socket. You will need to manually create the socket and give it a name. It will be up to you then to "receive" the socket data stream and redirect it elsewhere (seems you want it remote for your case to Security Onion).

    @Zermus said in crowdsec: It's a shame Elastic took their stuff in house and ELK stacks are no longer free. Tom Lawrence's (https://www.youtube.com/@LAWRENCESYSTEMS) videos convinced me that I should go over to Graylog Open on my personal stuff when that happened and I'm happy with it. I always viewed ELK as overly complicated. Graylog is much more manageable, although the console isn't as nice. Work in progress.

    Recently (May-Jun 2025) Grafana received a HUGE update (even possible to saying “reworked from scratch” because some fundamental changes made): from more closely integration with GitLab CVS and making the database abstraction layer to tabs, custom and dynamic dashboards and interactive elements. After some time of stagnation, “new Grafana” start to receive a real most asked and usable updates. Just look at this! With this new updates Your Grafana’s dashboard for pfSense receive a REALLY USEFUL FORM ! P.S. And personally I need to note that pfSense Dashboard lost their actuality because in Grafana You may receive more usable, dive-in-detailed, much more detailed and granulated, interactive view and (in some cases, more important than view) strongly secured user authentication scheme.

    @dennypage nice! I think the running 3 instances and filtering vlans on 0 (untagged traffic) would eliminate any sort of bogon because the source IP range is different than the actual network being seen on.

    @jimp Hi, as far as I know the lcd driver (LCDd) is connected to the display via USB/Serial/Parallel but the lcdproc process is connected to the driver in this way: Bind=127.0.0.1 Port=13666 Extract from pfctl -ss: lo0 tcp 127.0.0.1:20639 -> 127.0.0.1:13666 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED lo0 tcp 127.0.0.1:13666 <- 127.0.0.1:20639 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED So there could be a possibility to loose connection when states get killed ... IMHO (If I'm wrong please correct) EDIT: I cleared all states and this made the lcdproc also to loose connection flooding the syslog. After restarting lcdproc all fine again. Regards, fireodo
