    @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.

    @jigpe: Im referring to this post which is your post :) its a timer right? correct me if im wrong please.. thanks :) Good point, I'll see what I can do about that.  In the meantime insert this into /conf/config.xml before the and reboot (or back up, edit, and restore the config file):       <minute>0</minute>          <hour>0</hour>          <mday></mday>          <month></month>          <wday>*</wday>          <who>root</who>          <command></command>find /var/imspector -ctime +14 -type f -delete Note, I didn't test the above, it should work, I don't believe there are any special characters that the XML will barf on in there. –Bill And that has what to do with this thread?

Kindly show me the way on how to manually download all the packages for experimentation please? Thanks for the heads up :) jigp Davao City

    I run with no less the 512. The reason being is that with 512 you have elbow room. Currently on my system I am using 212MB of RAM. I have a P4 1.6 w/512 MB ECC RIMMs. Might I also add I love running PfSense on RIMMs. It seems the interface alone runs faster, not sure about everything else  ;) But I prefer to run PfSense on ECC RAM being that this is a network critical machine and as far as I'm concerned errors are not acceptable. Anyhow, I'm running for packages…. darkstat squid squidGuard FreeRADIUS imspector nut snort Any my system does very well and is very stable. Sometimes I use as much as 350MB of RAM but it's not often, that may have been when I was load balancing w/failover

    After proper set of the interfaces everything turned to be just fine. Thanx everyone for assistance! Update (notice for possible further hardware issues): I run pfSense on IBM xSeries 220 server with dual P3 CPU/SCSI RAID-1. No additional configuration needed to suit the hardware.

    Try looking in the Doc Wiki, too… http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=snort&go=Go Though your router not being able to contact pfSense for the package list is the real problem, not snort.

    I'm wondering if there is an update to this? The LCDProc doesn't appear to work with the mini-box 300? Any suggestions, help, advice or anything else to get it to work? Somebody mentioned the driver needs recompiled in FreeBSD 7 - happy to do this but not quite sure how (while I'm a Linux / Windows bod and have recompiled bits and pieces not done so for FreeBSD).

    I have used POPFile in the past, both on client side as well as installed as server daemon (Mercury/32 mail server) and know it's a marvelous piece of software. I am however quite concerned about putting too much processing and non-firewall services into the firewall. And even though the same can be said about several packages already in place (and I am also using a few packages myself) I do feel that this type of often busy service and exposed one too, perhaps should not reside in the fw itself. In practice you'd have pfs acting as the MX receiving any and all bits from the outside destined to the receiving mail server then. I'm not saying it's incorrect - people's opinions varies - and there are other software putting all eggs in the basket (like Untangle?) but I think many like firewalls to not do any and all services, by design, and personally I would not like that, from various security and stability perspectives etc. I'd be interested in hearing other views on this though. Cheers,

    Squid HDD cache exists as part of the proxy. The small size of the HDD cache may reduce the effectiveness of the cache. Ability to disable the cache through the GUI does not exist (as opposed to the system logs) .

    @jigpe: I tried also to logged it in /usr/imspector (pfsense box) where lan is 192.168.1.1 and wan is my isp. Same thing. They also disconnect after sending messages after Day 3 (from fresh install). No problem from Day 1 and Day2 they dont disconnect and it logged. How to configure inside pfsense like  creating folder from there? i tried to create a directory at /usr/imspector/imspectorlog..no logs there either after exploring it.. HD of pfsense is 160 seagate sata and RAM is 3GB , Users: 30…Hope this is enough specs.. Kindly show me the way guys? Thanks Sounds like an IMSpector issue, you'll probably have better luck asking in their support forums.  I don't plan on debugging their code. –Bill PS the package logs to /var/imspector, not /usr and there is no provision to change that in code (nor will there be)
