    @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'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.

    does it really hard to implement a package for PFsense that would gather and count users trafic statistics and block them or rule-based basis? i remember, somewhere on this site i have read something like "pfsense is for those, who dont need to know how it works, but understand what is he/she wants"

    Squid package requests : Support for URL RegExp ACLs, so that we can block dangerous file extensions and such. Support for any type of ACL's? maybe just have a 'add an acl' dialog =) Filtering mime types would be nice, but only very recent versions of squid offer this … this is a must in cases like JPEG vulnerabilities or massive worm outbreaks Squid log analysis/tracking package. Web usage by IP address (bandwidth/hits/history?) This may seem to be a big bigbrotherly to some, but there is definately a demand for tighter control in corporate environments. If none of them possible at the moment, what about a 'squid configuration editor' tool that would just open the 'text' version of the configuration? I would find this more confortable than having to hardcore rules in the config.xml file. Just ideas ... Thanks for the great work - -G

    I had to play with the squid configuration last month, before the GUI made it to the webConfiguration. First off, correct me if I'm wrong, but blacklisting domain names (or anything other than an IP adress for that matter) will require a RegExp match of some sort (check out the squid doc). As for losing the squid configuration, I had that problem too. Its because it is dinamically generated on boot. The 'real' permanent configuration parameters are in the config.xml file (if I remember well) … changing them there will make your changes persistent. I would really, really like to see RegExp ACL's (black & white listing) in the next squid webConfigurator interface. These filters can block dangerous file extensions, which is a must for a proxy on a security appliance. Hope this helps ...

    Did you configure it to listen on an interface? You at least need to hit save once at the config page after you selected the Interface to write the config file for darkstat.

    OK. When I try to fill that blank line instead of deleting it, the blacklist gets added just under the other ones configured and the first line is still blank. Weird indeed. I'try to use it this way and make some tests. Let you guys know if spamd misbehaves. /Exa

    @KiaN: Hmm  :o I have no dspam.conf file, only the sample ! There you go … Most packages will be installed with an accompanying sample configuration file (here: dspam.conf.sample). It should be pretty obvious, that DSPAM refuses to run, because you did not configure DSPAM (i.e. no configuration file). You NEED to configure DSPAM manually, cause there's no way for DSPAM to guess for example which DSPAM backend driver you are going to use. Please read the DSPAM README in /usr/local/share/doc/dspam to figure out how to configure DSPAM appropriately. Regards DAn.I.El S. Haischt

    There is no real problem with static ports. some consider it a bit more secure when the prts are changed while going through a nat, however this breaks the SIP protocol unless you use a STUN server or the provider has some kind of proxy to fix it again at their end. You should be fine. I also would only use the static port option for your SIP device or the SIP portrange, you can make everything else use the default port translation by adding the default rule below the special rule for the sip device.

    @Cry: Just make sure you work from the current fetchmail (6.3.x) as found at www.fetchmail.info. Blah Blah - He surely will use the fetchmail package from the FreeBSD ports collection, cause this is the way to go.

    Set your DHCP leases pretty high so all your users get "kind of static" IPs or add static mappings. Set up a syslog server that logs DHCP leases (status>systemlogs, settings). This way you can get the information you need. However, really detailed reports are not available with the darkstat package. You might have a look at ntop.
