    @nick23369 You don't have to wait for the official fix. Adding the directive load-server-state-from-file none to each backend will override the default behavior and makes HAProxy backend changes take effect immediately. This is the easiest - do it one time and it's done. You can also stop HAProxy, delete run rm /tmp/haproxy_server_state from Diagnostic > Command Prompt, and then start HAProxy. There is no problem with HAProxy, it just takes some extra work to make negate the hardcoded config settings and make backend changes apply immediately without having to reboot pfSense.

    @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.

    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?

    @rocky: Thank you for replies. The ip of yahoo download server varies from place to place and have the form: http://<ip>/some-links-to-yahoo-file-server This address is generated when users download file from their email I want that user cannot enter some porn sites by type IP address of the site in address bar. I choose this option from squidGuard Option. Then now user cannot download file/receive file via yahoo mail / Yim. ==> this is my problem! Thank you again!</ip> Test this: create custom destination "my_vip_sites" and add yahoo mail DOMAIN and other sites what you want (& save). And select in ACL (or Default) this Destination as 'white'.

    1. yes (for backup) 2. yes 3. yes. but if you 'installed packages' list is empty - you must install thit new 4. yes. If you have power problem, you can lost system files and not possible diagnostic you problems. After restoring system (it. 1-4) you will be sure what this files good.

    Squid is set up without any auth and the check box for "Transparent" is checked It is set up with "Proxy interface= LAN" "Allow users on interface" is un-checked, with my subnet added to the "Allowed subnets" in the "Access Control" tab. SG is set up with the shallalist.tar.gz SG is set up (currently) without any ACL's SG under the "Default" tab is set to block every thing (though I have tried it many different ways) Any thoughts as to what I should try changing to get it to work and work transparently?

    Found a post regarding Bandwidthd with a similar issue.  Is there a similar solution for my problem with pfflowd? Hi, thanks for this great package, I have it up running just fine but have a little problem I got 2 WAN's and a wired LAN and a wireless LAN that is bridged to the wired and as such with monitoring on the LAN I am seeing the local traffic between the wired and wireless. I see that there is a field to enter in filter rules but I got no idea how to format them to ignore local traffic. Googling hasn't turned up anything that I can follow, so has anyone got a link to a page that shows all the options and how to use them or can even just give me the command needed to filter local traffic. Thanks, Dan. Solution: SPECIFYING THE LIBPCAP FILTER if you'd like more control over what traffic is counted, you can specify a Manuel filter to be passed to libpcap.  You can use this to remove certain IPs or only graph certain IPs, or limit the graphs to certain kinds of traffic.  You should always specify "ip" in the filter.  For example: filter "ip and host 64.215.40.1"

    Imho is the  'acl cachemgr_passwd <password>all' only needed for some special operations like 'reconfigure' s.o. The squidmgr.conf has the default 'localhost:3128'. Maybe lighttpd can only respond on port 80 - should I add  port 3128 too?</password>
