    @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.

    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.

    OK.  I see the menu options in squid_ng.xml, but they are not appearing in the GUI.  Maybe I am just misunderstanding how the package/GUI system works.  Could someone give me pointers please? Thanks!

    Login to a shell and check /var/squid/log.  You should see a cache.log, and if you have logging enabled you will have an access.log.  Also, check to make sure that the daemon is runinng (ps aux | grep squid).  The cache is kept in /var/squid/cache as well.  So see how large that directory is.  There is also a cachemgr patch in the forums that I am looking into installing at the moment.

    Thanks for clearing that up! I think I will try to install head on a spare comp to experiment with, maybe try to make it dual boot FreeBSD/pfsense so that I can become more familiar with this stuff.

    You're bumping up against the squid ACLs.  Consult the squid documentation and modify your squid.conf appropriately.

    From the "Better Late Than Never" Department: Log into the box and use squidclient to query squid for stats: squidclient mgr:menu will give you a complete list of available commands. squidclient mgr:info is generally the first and most useful query to run. Look at the statistics related to median response time. Of particular interest will be the time it takes DNS to answer requests. Remember, squid is a proxy, that means that it's doing a lot of work in place of clients. Each request consumes system resources while it's being processed and the longer it takes to complete the transaction the longer those resources are unavailable to handle other requests. Also, make sure you're using diskd for async I/O, if possible, and that shared mem is tuned properly (if shared mem isn't tuned properly you'll get scary messages about resources being unavailable in the logs). NOTE: diskd can be a pain. If aufs works, use it instead. The last info I read on diskd v. aufs stated that in order for aufs to work on freebsd, threads would have to be able to do non-blocking I/O. I'm not sure about the current kernel, so more research is required. Don't use the default cache object removal policy, it's slow, inefficient and indiscriminate. Use one of the heap-based policies instead. Choose whichever policy meets your need, the primary distinguishing characteristic being their affinity for object size or age. Check the squid FAQ for more information.

    Great! We should start a Starbucks fund for the dev's… I know I drank way too much Russian Sludge (no offense to the ruskies, but adding coffee grounds to a basket over and over until you can't close it makes for some interesting coffee) in my day developing grid software for super collider research. Anyways, I'm going to get a test box or two running. Let me know if there's any other way I can contribute other than submitting meaningful and detailed bug reports. Unfortunately no matter how many Frapa's or Mocha's you drink, it still doesn't make release day come any sooner lol… Keep up the good work guys.
