    @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.

    Re: How to update to the latest Tailscale version? I am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection. If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application? Thanks.

    Yep I just noticed that as I went to reconfigure! Thanks for your help guys.  ;D [Edit:] In fact, it would appear that Snort does not like to run on multiple interfaces; a bug perhaps?

    Firewallrules always work for incoming traffic at an interface. You don't have to allow traffic passing out on any interface. So basically the pfSense itself is allowed always to go anywhere (in case you use the dns forwarder).

    Usually I only want to listen on the lan anyways so I hard card the flag -i (interface name) into the rc.d file.  Then ntop will start using the lan interface.

    I think I got it, in VI it was showing some escapce characters improperly.  When I used the built in editor in PFsense and removed them it read the file.  I also pointed radius to a different user file in freeradius.inc and radiusd.conf so they would read the file I'm going to generate.  If I'm not mistaken this will effectively break the gui user admin and allow me to work with just the text file anyways…?  Kind of ghetto but it should work right?

    @Tabun: Hello, i've installed the spamd package from the package manager, but i'm not able to start the service. In the Status-> Services window shows "stopped", if i click on start service button i'll become the message "spamd started" but nothing goes on and the status is still stopped. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the package, but have the same problem. Thank for any help.. (pfsense V. 1.01 (Full install), spamd version 4.3) Solved now

    Whats meant to happen(mine doesn't even work) is: Black list and greylist IP addresses get sent to the pfsense box on port 25. It whittles away their time and resources. Once it has met the conditions to be allowed to send(time, connections etc), it's meant to whitelist the IP address of the sender and then port forward directly to your specified mail server. This means spammers never touch your server and waste it's resources. It's a great solution. I haven't gotten this working yet but i would love to get this working. I can't troubleshoot it that far as I don't have the know how :) I never had somebody else with the same issue that I had so I could never compare.

    Once you hit the whitelist its meant to redirect your connection to port 25. I could get it to open port 25 on a grey or blacklist but as soon as it hit whitelist, no connection on port 25 for that whitelisted IP address.

    @redseawireless: 2 Gigs with Quad processor and still taking a crap! I am processing traffic across my wireless network covering over 150 square kilometers! On a average day 3000 to 3800 users! CPU Load 6 to 8 percent! Memory at 1 to 2 percent! Plenty of room to run Snort and Ntop on same machine! Do you have any relevant info on this matter? You're going to have to give more information. Be specific in telling us your testing methods. What version of pfsense are you on? Also show us log outputs when ntop goes down, etc. I've been running snort and ntop for weeks now with no problems.

    Not sure if this helps, but I had a similar issue that was caused by special characters in the ntop admin password.   I have verified that the following special characters do not work: &)=%#!?}]   These special characters do work: (^$@~<>{[ Those are the only characters I had the time to test.

    I'll keep you informed. As for now I have squid working, but I had to NAT all proxy packages to the WAN adres where squid is listening, for this test it works fine, but I don't want to enable a proxy server for the whole world. Also squid is running fine, but at this moment I don't run squid as daemon (I want to see what's going on in the test envoirment)
