    @pulsartiger The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat. With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @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.

    @EChondo What's your pfSense version ? The instructions are shown here : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-cb29-4148-9e36-81ade4e5e60c-image.png] A restart of a service will start by re creating their config files. If a certificate changed, it will get included. When the process starts, it will use the new certificate. @EChondo said in Issue with ACME Certificates Refresh & Restarting HAProxy: I haven't been able to confirm if the above works(mine just renewed, don't feel like doing it again just to test), so we'll see in 60 days I guess. No need to wait x days. You can re test / renew right away, as you are 'allowed' to renew a couple (5 max ?) of times per week.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    Just my experience about the dashboard to get it to show up… I usually upgrade to the latest snapshot whenever one becomes availabile, upon restart of the fw, I head over to "Packages/Installed Packages" and then I remove the dashboard, once the script has completed, I click on the pfsense logo on the top left hand side (nerve centre theme), its very important that you click the logo, as soon as I do this, the dashboard appears magically... I then go back to "Packages/Available 1.2-RELEASE packages" and I install the dashboard (although its already appeared when I clicked on to the logo, I just install it for peace of mind). Its worked for me every time after an upgrade. Slam

    @sullrich: Use Diagnostics -> Edit file and edit /cf/conf/config.xml and remove any related snort items in the <installedpackages>area.  No reboot is required. Afterwards reinstall snort from System -> Packages.</installedpackages> That did it, thanks!

    Not sure on snort. You could use the imspector package and set it to block everyone not defined on the whitelist.

    It appears that I was not able to reproduce this, as I put a 1.2 machine into production with squid and the problem is still ocurring. Once I disable the transparent proxy, the problem disappears. Any ideas?

    Actually, we have try to disable the userland FTP proxy setting, and start pftpx as FTP forwarding proxy. With redirecting all 21 incoming traffic to the pftpx (8021), it works but it's already a NAT config which means that the internal machine must have the gateway point to the pfsense machine. The FTP client are configured to use Proxy and passive mode, the connection works with other Proxy server on the same LAN (not pfsense squid) . The problem is that Squid do not accept FTP connection from ftp clients. For a non-NAT environment, pfSense would be better to have proxy servers for different protocol such as http / nntp / ftp /…

    Maybe you should reinstall the system with a 1.2 and restore the backuped config. I did so with a 1.0 beta1 last week and the config was upgraded just fine (didn't have a problem with it though, but as it was an embedded install so switching the cf-cards was pretty easy to do).
