    @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.

    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?

    @gertjan Ah, I forgot that say that everything works well in WPA2 mode. My setting is the same with the tutorial, I wonder if there’s any special requirement on WPA3 radius. Anyway, thank you for your help.

    @michmoor Yes going to see if PFB will be the right solution, seems like squid would be a lot of overhead and not serve all current needs. Thanks for your input.

    There is an update for System Patches on Plus 21.05/CE 2.5.2, even if your update branch is set to stay on Plus 21.05/CE 2.5.2. We put an update there to add the recommended patches list populated with important security and stability fixes for people who couldn't upgrade to 2.6.0 right away.

    @bob-dig yes. I consider it normal after a forced disconnect, being offline for a couple minutes until the new prefix has propagated downstream and every system chose it's new address. This is a design issue in ipv6 as a whole, amplified by fraudulent ISP's. Downtime due to this is definitely longer than we remember from ipv4/nat. But that's not at all part of my topic. This topic is all about the dyndns script not working for ipv6.

    Instead of manipulating IPv6 settings and impacting all local networks, what about informing the 'package update' scripts from pfSense to prefer IPv4 ? Have a look at /usr/local/libexec/pfSense-upgrade - line 24 That's just what we need. To implement : Goto line 1415 and change unset force_ipv4 to force_ipv4=1 So, instead of "let the system decide if IPv4 or IPv6 is used" the calls to the pkg commands are now instructed to use IPv4. Later on, undo the change or just forget about it as an update will take care of undoing it anyway. Btw : I had a console open, implement the change and used option 13 : Update from console. It took seconds to sync up and finish.

    There are not many people still maintaining lists for squidGuard. It's not so useful these days compared to other methods such as DNS based blacklists. Browsers are making it more and more difficult to safely and securely use a proxy for these kinds of tasks. The list at http://www.squidguard.org/blacklists.html used to have all of them, though I don't know how viable any of them are. It still lists Shalla even though that's gone, so the others may be questionable as well.

    Some improuvment... It works but I am not satified! I put in the user filter (and desactivate the Group Membership part) : (&(uid=%{User-Name})(memberOf=cn=wifi,ou=group,dc=mydomain,dc=net)) => It work fine... only user in "wifi" group can be connected => I have to add the "menberOf" module in ladap I have know the following ldap/freeradius conf : ldap { server = "ldap.mydomain.net" port = "389" identity = "cn=admin,dc=mydomain,dc=net" password = 'xxxx base_dn = "dc=mydomain,dc=net" user { base_dn = "${..base_dn}" filter = "(&(uid=%{User-Name})(memberOf=cn=wifi,ou=group,dc=mydomain,dc=net))" } group { base_dn = "${..base_dn}" filter = '(objectClass=posixGroup)' } profile { filter = "(objectclass=radiusprofile)" } I think there is a better way... if some knows how ?
