    @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.

    @keyser Clarify "it makes sense if the GEOIP DB has that size" are you referencing the asn data as I have shown or the maxmind data? the asn data takes all of 15 seconds to download and process. Not really any "magic" going on there, you can see the mmdb is only a download referenced and the asn.csv.gz is basically just unzipped. I can't comment on the maxmind data specifically because I don't use for my geo location. But I can see what the code should be doing. seeing your actual log file will help determine where your specific spike may be coming from, but if I had to guess from looking at the code and my timing with respect to the asn parts of it I would guess this is most likely to be an issue with the maxmind parts - timing should be in the log. can you change when it runs ? no, not directly, there is no way to do this without changing the code to target a specific time when it creates the cron job in the first place. No you can't change the timing of the cron job and have it stick, it will eventually just go random again. On the other hand, yes, because I changed the code here so it always creates the same "not so random" time.. runnning at same time every day since this code change first became available in the pfblockerNG update for 24.11 that came out months ago, well before 25.07 curious you originally said "noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pfb 3.2.7" were you running the "new" format of asn data before? (would have only been possible if you upgraded from 24.11 with the latest version of pfb installed) you would have entered and ASN key at some point to make it work. did you do that under the prior version and just now with 25.07) it's likely not significant, but then again .... That likely won't help your spike, other than moving it to a different time. I moved it here to a static ("not so random") time for other reasons, nothing to do with system load at the time.. Log files would be helpful. (just the snippet that applies to this time, from extras, error and pfblockerng logs there may be nothing in error or pfblockerng related to the time it is running. .

    @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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    Strangely enough, checking the system 4 days later, I now see that Wireguard service is reported running! The last thing I did 4 days ago was to disable Wireguard service monitoring by the Service Watchdog. Anyway, even when it was reported stopped at first, 4 days ago, the tunnels were working flawlessly. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

    @goldenshark Hi, I know this is old but....I want to do the same thing. So in Squidguard we are supposed to able to block domains or even by specific URL's. On the FLIP side of that, we should be able to whitelist by domain or by URL. Therefore, what if I block the entire DOMAIN youtube.com, but then WHITELIST a specific youtube video URL? In theory this should work fine and the only limiting factor here would be THE ORDER that the block or whitelist items are applied by the filter! So for example, In Squidguard if I block the DOMAIN youtube.com with a Target Category and then I also create a target category to WHITELIST the url, www.youtube.com/mymovie, then why would it not work? I can SET which target category gets applied before the other in my ACL's. I would ASSUME, last one applied wins. So any whitelist item would override the block list. So in this example, if my BLOCK list is followed by my Whitelist when a request comes in, Youtube would be blocked first, then ALLOWED by my whitelist. Unfortunately, I could not get this to work. An I have no idea of how squidguard is actually applying filters in this sense. It seems to not be allowing the Whitelist to override the Block list. Anyone know how these Target Category's work in a hierarchy? Also, if you really want a mess, apply a default BLACK LIST in Squid and then it seems that ALL the black list filters get applied last and nullify any Target categories you added. Its not cool, as it is very quirky and sometimes you need to reboot Pfsense to even get the filters to work at all. MP

    @gertjan said in NUT issue with Netgate 3100: @jostermacedo said in NUT issue with Netgate 3100: Cyber Power With a space ;) What version ? edit : See also NUT upsmon : at the bottom of the page you'll find a way to test. Another test : power pfSense from another wall outlet,and connect the USB to the UPS. Have the connection established. Login to to the console and/or SSH. Now remove the power from the UPS. Check the main pfSense logs. And what show up on the console ? edit 2 : You use probably the USB driver "usbhid-ups" : see here https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/usbhid-ups.html scroll down to "Unattended shutdowns" and do what is suggested. Gertjan, PfSense: 21.05.2 NUT: 2.7.4_8 thanks for the info. I'll try it tonight. Joster

    Uncheck "Keep ntopng settings, graphs and traffic data" in settings and save. Uninstall official package. Intstall official package and disable ntopng in settings. Install official "sudo" package (or root login cli) . Open CLI and add packages in this order: sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/lua53-5.3.6.pkg sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/openldap24-client-2.4.59_4.pkg sudo pkg add -f https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aamd64/latest/All/ntopng-5.0.d20210923,1.pkg Enable ntopng in settings. Works for pfSense 2.5.2, amd64. Now you have version ntopng 5.0.2 :) Link for amr (FreeBSD 12): https://mirror.xtom.com/freebsd-pkg/

    @technomilm Try this : Power down the device using Diagnostics => Halt system. As soon as the device is actually halted, remove the power cable. Take a the,coffee/whatever. Put the power back on, boot the device. You should be fine. Btw : pfSense was trying to load some 'package' files. If you were loading any other package, like 'Notes' or 'Cron' you would most probably see the same error, so it's not really 'pfBlockerNG devel ' related.

    As evidenced by the dearth of replies to your question, TOR, however noble its original design and intention, has had its reputation severely tarnished by association with the dark web and its bad actors. Thus I suspect no self-respecting firewall admin would consider putting anything TOR anywhere near their firewall.

    @hulleyrob If I had to guess there are some things in redmine about packages not installing on reinstall, and this one talks about forcing reinstall sort of thing.. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12235 To report the issue you have experienced we would really need some more details, and copies of your config you restored, etc.. But as you said its easy enough to work around.. But yeah it could get frustrating for someone, sure..
