    @andrew_cb Thank you for the answer In the end it was a problem that any new backend i added just did not register, i confirm it by taking an existing one and overriding it and it worked so i want the nuclear option and just installed the entire pfsense because installing the haproxy did not help.

    @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.

    @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.

    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?

    @michmoor I'm uploading a plain text file, I've just created one with the eicar string. The thing is that once its uploaded and on my exchange server, if I try to download the file, I will get the error message from pfsense that it's a virus, but by that point it's scanned by another service. I'm just using pfsense to check the upload.

    @optimus-prime said in Bandwidthd with names: And to that extent, is there a way to assign user-defined device names within pfsense by mac address, regardless if devices are set up with DHCP, Static DHCP, or statically assigned? Of course. Add your own static DHCP leases at the bottom of this page : Services > DHCP Server > LAN One for each device + it's MAC address and the IP, member of the LAN network - and outside of the pool.

    @wintok Start by backing up your existing config to a safe place (or multiple places). Then i'd suggest : Since you have Netgate hardware , that you get a new install image from them, and create a usb boot stick. Then via the usb stick,upgrade your box to the latest release. I would also suggest that you use ZFS as your new filesystem, as it offers some exciting new functionalities in 22.05 ... Snapshots. I can reinstall from scratch (w. hdd format), in less than 20 min. Providing i have a working config backup.

  • Freeradius - VLAN fallback assignement

    @nogbadthebad - Thanks for your reply. If using 802.1x authentication you can have the radius server pass back the VLAN for the authenticated user (either using username/password or MAC authentication). This is all working as expected for authenticated users - I have one SSID thats broadcast, depending on the user or device (in the case of my IoT) it gets dropped onto the correct VLAN as it reads the radius response. The issue I have at the moment with PFSense is I cannot seem to set a fallback VLAN for failed authentication (ie guests) - Previously in OPNSense (using freeradius) I dropped all unauthenticated users back onto a guest VLAN for segregation. However I dont seem to have the GUI option and when trying to put in the right Syntax for the advanced options, cannot seem to get it to work.

    @dominikhoffmann I also use freerad, good tool but the GUI is a little old. Have you looked at the captive portal on PFsense? Just another option though I think I saw somewhere a few years ago about issues with IPv6. Supports radius as well

    @herr_xyz Until then it's up to you to download the new version by yourself from there and install it on your Windows or even integrate it into the installer package manually.

    @viragomann Oh man! So, I finally figured out the problem. You were correct from the beginning. In fact, nearly every scenario we tried works. The problem had nothing to do with my setup. My ISP decided to up and block port 80 all of a sudden without telling me. I figured this out by going back to basics. I started up a simple webserver that listened to port 80 and just forwarded directly to that server. Worked on most every other port except 80. Spent 3 hours on the phone with my ISP to get this fixed. All works now. I really appreciate the help. I did learn a few things along the way, so not a total waste of time.
