    @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.

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.

    @jwt said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: installed or upgraded? 2.7.2 was installed first from iso then upgraded to 2.8 then config restored - that resolved the issue. @jwt said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: more details here would be good. no details - unfortunately installer doesn't provide any logs or troubleshooting info, except "unable to contact netgate servers" during install. Despite same PPPoE username and password specified in the initial prompt as used during normal operations.

    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?

    Because it doesn't run properly on FreeBSD due to threading bugs, it'll eat 100% CPU and stop working.

    I think I can second your observation. BandwidthD is installed here as well. I was assuming it is related to squid but I never checked that. The drop in processes at the end of July was due to a reboot. Steadily climbing since. ATM I only have about 10 BandwidthD processes running.

    I will second the 'Static port' suggestion under Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound NAT -> Manual Outbound NAT -> Static Port. This solved my Problems with NAT. Please leave siproxd as a package at least for the Full Install on non embedded. I have created a pfSense package FreeSWITCH which can also run as a SIP proxy or PBX. So now there are two choices for those that want a SIP proxy. There has also been requests on the forum for some time of an openSER package. I think siproxyd in the base of pfSense would actually limit pfSense. Before Firefox there was Mozilla bloated with many features many people didn't want. Internet Explorer also suffered from upgrades with features that very few people wanted. The concept behind Firefox was to make the additional features optional for those that want it. The 'Add-ons' in Firefox have grown immensely and many of them are very good. pfSense's packages is a feature that can help keep the base system from getting bloated which will help keep it fast and its requirements for system resources lower. pfSense package list is growing and I expect that the growth of it is just beginning.

    I've done this with squidhead(/w storeurl feature),vmware,pfsense 1.2. I just build an freebsd 6.3, compile squid, installed and tar. Then copy it to pfsense. Its been running for 3 month I think. Then I wipe out. I'm working now on pfsense 1.3 For performance tuning just Dig it on tuning FreeBSD you'll find it there. The default squid provided is not tuned so you have to edit some of squid.inc
