    @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.

    @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

    Upgraded 25.07 and Tailscale is broken in the way users here describe. I can manually log in using sudo /usr/local/bin/tailscale login, but the tailscale service in pfSense does not pick this up and restarting the service clobbers the login state. Given 16004 was logged 7 months ago with zero activity, this is an indication that Netgate devices no longer support Tailscale.

    @adamthemantyler said in Quagga_OSPF: not available in remote repository: @bmeeks Thank you. Looks like I am running 2.4.5 on my boxes still. What would you say the upgrade path looks like? Would I just have to manually document my OSPF configuration and remove the module.. Then upgrade to 2.5.0 and install FRR? Or is there some migration path that will move settings over from Quagga for me? I have some other packages that are out of date too, is it generally a better idea to upgrade packages before a system update or the other way around? Regards, Adam Tyler Sorry Adam, but I don't use either package (Quagga nor FRR), so I wouldn't be of much help. Perhaps someone else will chime in with migration options. As for updating other packages, ALWAYS update pfSense itself first if an update is available. If you update or install a package after a new pfSense update is posted, and you haven't installed that pfSense update, then installing a package will break your system -- sometimes to the point of needing to reinstall and restore a config backup. If you want to install a package on an older pfSense version, then you must go to SYSTEM > UPDATE and on the Update Settings tab change the drop-down selector there to the option "Previous stable version (2.4.5 deprecated)", save that change, then install the package. Changing that setting points your package system utility to the correct branch of packages. Note that these older packages will not be updated, though. They will be whatever was the "current" version at the time the new pfSense was released. There is a dedicated FRR sub-forum on the board here: https://forum.netgate.com/category/79/frr. Perhaps posting your questions in there would generate some helpful replies.

It is not publically available. You will need to wait for the change to be merged into the public Github repo. They have a private internal repo where they do testing of changes before migrating them to the public site. Notice the URL is "gitlab.netgate.com". Anytime you see that "gitlab" portion, that is their private repo.

    I must admit that I have never heard before about squeezebox, therefore I have never used it before. Most of the time I listen to music through Spotify using my wireless headphones. I especially like doing so while training, and since lately most of my workouts are done at home, I enjoy using my headphones even more. I understand that your problem is with Avahi, so my basic question is why did you decide to use this app? I get my apps only from https://appcrood.com, who I consider to be trustworthy, and because of that I always get quality.

    Why do you think that's a problem or necessary? Is something actually not working that you expect? Those URLs are not meant to be browsed by humans, but used by pkg.

    @ibbetsion said in Telegraf's built-in ping plugin showing higher latency since v2.5: Since upgrading to 2.5, the built-in Telegraf ping plugin is reporting results with a higher latency then what I get if I were to ping the same system from the pfsense CLI. And the diff is 2x, sometimes more. This wasn't an issue in 2.4.5x. Is this a known issue? For more clarity, I'm pinging a system on LAN, so am expecting <0.3ms response time. Telegraf shows >0.8ms, sometimes even >2ms.

    @steveb53 said in Quagga OSPF missing in 21.02-RELEASE-p1: @nogbadthebad HI, FRR was already in the previous release but its not as user friendly. Quagga is missing in the current package manager. If its been dropped, why, if not when might we see it in the newer release. All the pfsense docs refer to Quagga too and not FFR. Quagga and several other packages were officially retired back in November last year. Here is the entry on Redmine: https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repository/revisions/85652efd5dfee9f66c7c7f3c97eb1c368f690ae3.

    @wyang Hello! I dont think the openvpn-client-export install is related to the FRR deinstall. FRR would have been deinstalled by simply switching to the 2.4.5p1 repo. Now that you have switched back to the 2.4.5p1 repo, I would try reinstalling FRR from the Package Manager. My experience is that the packages that were auto-purged still had their settings saved.
