    Retested on 24.11-RELEASE (amd64) all seems to work. So it seems right to file a bug for this issue.

    @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.

    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.

    @FSC830 Then I wouldn't use the same interface for that in the first place. pfsense will route no problem if a mobile device needs to access something behind the fritzbox.

    There is a package in developement that adds the freenas features to pfSense but expect to not see it that soon as it needs some codebits that are currently only available in the HEAD codetree. Printsharing is not planned/developed currently.

    1.  Thanks, I'll fix this shortly 2.  Tinydns status page is for LB/Failover (DNS) 3.  TinyDNS will not start until you configure atleast one item on the settings page and click save 4.  Not sure about DNS Forwarders, that was done by someone else.  Patches accepted. 5.  See #4 6.  I will look into it EDIT: looks like someone forgot to finish their code (not me): /* NEED TO FIX there are 2 logs /etc/tinydns/log/main/current and /etc/dnscache/log/main/current */ $tinydnslogs = cat /etc/tinydns/log/main/current | /usr/local/bin/tai64nlocal | php -f /usr/local/pkg/tinydns_parse_logs.php | grep -v ":0"; /* NEED TO FIX */ if ($_POST['clear']) { // exec("rm /etc/tinydns/log/main/current"); // exec("touch /etc/tinydns/log/main/current"); }

    I connected the previously unplugged WAN interface to the network and now I have zero spamd-setup lines in /etc/crontab.  spamd seems to be running Ok. Hm.  I guess the lesson is always to have the WAN interface up when configuring anything.

    One doubt. In file /etc/inc/filter.inc and the code: if (is_package_installed('squid') && file_exists('/usr/local/pkg/squid.inc')) { require_once('squid.inc'); $natrules .= squid_generate_rules('nat'); } Whats happys if the file squid.inc is empty? the function squid_generate_rules('nat') will not work. I have install squid and disconnected WAN interface of the Internet, reboot. During the boot, I see this error and nothing work again.

    Just to clarify, you have two network cards operating on those networks, Lan, and lan2-opt1 correct?  I will also throw in that before the major revision to the squid package it was binding to 127.0.0.1, I don't know if that is the case now.

    That was totally over my head… I've been using pfsense for some time now, but anything outside of the normal interface is beyond me. I would really like to have upnp set up and working but it isn't critical. If you have any other simple or very detailed ideas they are more then welcome I would be more then happy to try them...

    …nearly there... [Downloading and Installing the Developers ISO went fine. I'd no idea that, on initial boots, downloading all the Source, etc, takes very many hours, and MAKE INDEX takes an hour or 2 also!! I made one possibly nasty error with GREP, as noted in another thread] Anyway, on the MAKE INSTALL, it downloads the sources, and compiles, and flashes up a massive amount of progress messages, but ends with: "Error Code 1". Whatever that means… Dang. The associated messages suggest running   - make deinstall && make reinstall, or   - setting FORCE_PKG_REGISTER in the Env, or   - setting this in the make install command-line. Any advice welcome. Perhaps just "make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER", but I don't want to make things worse! Separate interesting point:   - BandWidthD DID create the INDEX files when I ran it for the first time. Looked only beautiful!   - BUT... next time around, which was only a few minutes later (default config parms, generally), the INDEX.HTML was set to a size of 0, and the other 3 INDEX files were still OK (not refreshed yet).   - Then, 1 hour later, the INDEX2.HTML file was set to 0. The other 2 were still OK.   - presumably, when its time to refresh the others, they'll be duly clobbered.   - I believe I did not do anything very major with the entire system, apart from installing Midnight-Commander. I dearly hope this info rings a bell with someone... I doubt if tweaking the code will readily identify why the code sometimes creates the files, and sometimes does not... I could try removing BandWidthD, clearing out the files, and re-installing, etc... Thanks again...   - Mike

    cd /var/db/pkg && pkg_delete -r ls | grep mc In the course of experimenting with getting MC running, I ran the above command, but ended it with "GREP M" (instead of "GREP MC"!) I may have deleted other M* packages! I would greatly appreciate if anyone could post a list of all the "M*" entries in /var/db/pkg (if any!), in the standard Developers edition. Thank you.   - Mike
