    hey forum. maybe someone can help me with pfBlocker. I have this nice overview on pfsense mainpage but it logs nothing. [image: 1754330105763-overview.png] I found a related thread that never got resolved however https://forum.netgate.com/topic/175045/pfblockerng-not-logging-everything Is this normal behaviour? I am using the default out of the box settings here. When doing a nslookup of a blocked domain I seem to be getting the correct response. nslookup c.bing.com Server: 127.0.0.53 Address: 127.0.0.53#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: c.bing.com Address: 10.10.10.1 But I don't see anything logged in the main tab. Do I need to change something in this setting here: Global Logging/Blocking Mode By default it is set to "No Global Mode" [image: 1754330032261-stats.png] Under alerts I see my nslookups but it only shows "unknown" and not the actual website. I also expect more than just this to show up here when browsing the web. What do i need to change to get this to resolve properly? I have searched already and couldn't find a good answer. I am using Unbound btw. and this under general setup: [image: 1754330288353-dns-settings.png]

    @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.

    @Gertjan said in can I install a FreeBSD 14 pkg on a FreeBSD 15 pfSense?: If the package contains binaries : forget it. The ABI is different. It's not a hard and fast rule like that. It depends upon what the binary is, what dependencies it has, and how everything was compiled. I am currently running a binary package, which was built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE, on pfSense 25.07 (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT) without issue.

    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

    If you'd used the search function on the forum you'd have found a number of others with similar package install problems, and advise on resolving them :) In short, check your DNS and connectivity.  If you have a firewall or proxy in the way then that may be the source of your problem.

    Krishna, if you are running a full install go to Packages and add it. If embedded is what you are using then it won't work since packages are not available on that platform.

    @Shackattack: My Setup: Maximum download size: 95000 Maximum upload size: 20000 Overall bandwidth throttling: 600 Per-host throttling: 400 All trottles are marked Throttle other extensions: avi,mov,mpeg,mpg,wmv,rm,wma,wmv,wav,mp3,mp4,swf,flv,pdf,doc,ppt,zip,rar,bz2,gz,bin,exe,msi,7z,nrg,iso,mdf Works perfekt and I think the Per-host throttling is used to limit bandwith. All Video Streams are limited to 400 KB/s in my network Thanks! I am trying now .. which version do you have ?

    hi! i have made some kind of workaround: 2 solutions: first one: if you have spare hardware left put in 2 nics, install a base debian system and have a look at this: http://www.openmaniak.com/inline.php when you are at the point installing base, take the precompiled debian package acidbase. you will have less troubles and dont forget to add the startup script. When finished you will have a fine IPS based on snort rules. second one: just like 1 but: install 4 nics, after completing installing snort inline, install vmware, install pfsense on vmware example nic definition: eth0 and eth1 used for bridge br0 under debian bridge vmnet0 to eth2 = LAN pfsense bridge vmnet2 to eth3 = WAN pfsense bridge vmnet3 to eth2 = OPT1 pfsense You now have a firewall, an IDS and an IPS on one machine regards CC

    Have you read the other threads on this topic?  They contain a number of tests you can use to find out where the problem is.

    @gshipp: …can I use Microsoft Word or Dreamer Weaver to edit the .XML? No, please don't! Even though it's an XML file you can edit it with most any pure text editors like notepad from Windows. I'd like to mention notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net) which is a free notepad alternative comparable to hoba's editor of choice. UltraEdit should work as well but I think it's not free…

    I live by the web interface and do not dig to deep into the config files! I have to have a "keep it simple stupid" policy! Because if I get hit by a truck there is NO ONE to keep the systems going! I am in Egypt and after 3 years here I now know that Aliens built the pyramids! Because there is now way in hell they got build by the Egyptian Minds and Egyptian Natives! So I did it the simple way and figured the naming convention for most of the primary virus protection companies and loaded it into a text file and maualy loaded it to all pfsense servers… Problem solved and all is quite! If wanted I can post the No Cache Virus Server Update List.... Let me know!

    ntop is not going to work on a 4501 even if you did run a full install on a microdrive. It requires way too much RAM to function on a system with only 64 MB. pfSense technically isn't even supported on less than 128 MB, though for some purposes 64 MB will suffice.
