    @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.

    Anyways, I hacked it to skip parse_xml_config_pkg if $configfile is unset. The package appears to have installed OK, the RC scripts and binaries are there… I'm just not sure how it's going to start. I suppose I could just SSH in and start it manually from the shell, but that's not really a permanent fix. What's the deal?

    Yeah, I invested heavily in php related source material over the holiday and I highly recommend the Core PHP book.  I know most of the same material is available online, but its sometimes nice to just sit down and go over a chapter and maybe learn a few new ways of doing things or to bone up on the minutia of a particular function.

    ntop package seems particularly buggy at the moment. I have problem acessing it occasionally and to fix it I have to go into ntop settings from PFsense and click on the LAN then click change.  Which seems to reset all the stats even though it was already monitoring that.  And then the password you set doesn't even work when you get into Ntop. Plus heaps of other stuff.  It's hardly worth using,  it used to work better back in .90a. I would just wait till after release once someone has done some work on it before trying it again.

    There is not a howto atm.  You're best bet is to check out: http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/pkg_config.xml <– Master package manifest And individual packages themselves: http://cvs.pfsense.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tools/packages/

    I assume it was loging stats for ALL hosts,  for example it was logging every ip/website statistics anyone visited.  It is anoying when all I want is the LAN ips logged with some basic stats stored like total MB sent/recieved.  But for some reason it is no longer giving me the number value beside the graphs either I just get the graphs. Sort given up on ntop.

    @sharingzee: This is a feature available in Monowall, but not in pfSense. It is the "Mask", which applies the shaper's children pipes individually to each destination and source IP in the LAN. It's something imprescindible when using pfSense to evenly share an Internet connection. Att, SharingZee. PF + Dummynet (m0n0walls shaper) do not work at all together.  When you try to queue something with dummynet ALL traffic comes to a halt. This is a huge PFIL hooks freebsd issue and will be a lot of work to get it working.

    @ffugita: @moo: @ffugita: hum… how I do this? Any docs? use the freebsd ports documentation, however, as someone already said… it can be a disaster  ;D the problem is: how integrate ports into pfsense?  ??? :o I want some more packages into my pfsense (ie: mysql server), but… how?  ??? Again, it's not supported.  This means nobody is going to hold your hand to make this work.

    @charles.regan: plugins –> rrdplugins --> Data to Dump --> select Host --> save settings! Yeh I tried that.  Didn't work. Reinstalled clean without restoring configuration and it works now. Although now it only has graphs.  It used to show a total beside the graphs but that is gone in the new version.  Anyone know how to enable the totals or what numbers on the graph now represent the totals.  The graphs really arn't so easy to read aye.

    Neat! That's one of the things that really turned me on to pfSense project. Even though pfSense will never allow for such packages to be installed on the "main box" (aka firewall/router) it will be wonderfull to see an "alternate 1 box" or an "alternate 2 box" running packages such as IDS, Antivirus, soft PBX, etc… but all that inside a wonderfull GUI. I'm loving this :D. Cheers

    AdZapper is a neat little redirector for Squid.  Unfortunately squid only supports the use of only one redirector at a time.  There is a perl script called zapchain that lets you chain multiple redirectors but its not especially well written and certainly not speedy.  A debatably better solution would be to maintain a block list of the various adservers (there are lots of places to find these lits online) as an ACL in your squid.conf.  This approach has its own drawbacks as well, so consider each.
