    @qupfer What did I bang my head over this strange 502 issue. Your solution did it! Thank you so much, even 2.5 years later!

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

    @tinfoilmatt said in Failed or invalid Mime Type: [application/SIMH-tape-data|0]: (ASN data is IPinfo, not Maxmind) Thats correct but "GeoLite2-Country" is from Maxmind ... (that confused me) I'm considering simply adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list to test. Thats what i tought too ... I'll try when I have the time for it ... Edit: I can confirm - adding "application/SIMH-tape-data" to the list at line 257 in /usr/local/pkg/pfblockerng/pfblockerng.inc did the trick - no more error! Edit: OK, problem resolved but I would like to know, whats the cause for that error! (SIMH-tape-data sounds like a "blast from the past" ...) Thanks a lot!

    @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.

    I also crashed my system yesterday with an ACME update. I can't say whether I had Crowdsec installed or not. But I've tried things like that in the past, so it's quite possible.

    I have Wireguard installed on my firewalls. I have about 12 firewalls and most of them connect back to the main firewall which allows the connection to the servers in the main building. I setup a tunnel on each and then added each location as a peer on the Main firewall. This seemed to work except that the gateway. unde3r Monitor IP it only allows one IP address. So the first one works and shows connected fine, but the other 2 are red and do not connect. Everything seems to work until I added a 3rd peer and then the 1st peer showed as if it was offline even though it looked fine and I was able to connect to devices on that network. Am I supposed to add multiple gateways to the Main firewall so that shows as up? Is this the right way for the tunnels between the buildings which need access will work - By adding a tunnel at that location and just adding a peer to the main location?

    I have started trying to make one. I've already managed to get check_mk working manually, you can see my post here https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=111517.0 Once I have something to show, even if it just the GUI i'll create a new post / update this post. This is the first time I've looked at creating a pfsense package, so it might take me a few weeks to get my head round how it works.

    @AR15USR: You have the latest version. If it were yellow color there would be an update. If it were red it is not fully installed. OK, dumb mistake. The stuff on the bottom is a legend, not a notification. Thanks.

    It may be something about the request, then. I have heard recently from the siproxd author that he is working on a new version, it's possible it's a bug that has been corrected there.

    There was an update to the quagga package to help here. The problem tends to be from an empty interface landing in the quagga configuration. It probably started to work after the package was updated on the server, so the reinstall pulled a fixed copy.

    @jbhowlesr: I'm not spreading bad info. My UPS is software dependant and without it, it doesn't operate like you specify. I know this because I have experienced a few power failures while using this UPS. With NUT only, my pfsense ran until it killed the battery in the UPS and hard powered off due to lack of power. With APCUPSd installed in ran until parameters were met in the settings I put in then it shut down my pfsense box before the battery died. Now as far as monitoring goes, I don't need a monitoring widget seeing how my UPS has a large LCD display on it. What I do need however is control fearures APCUPSd. I can't help but wonder if this was merely a NUT configuration problem.  Usually all the UPS does (regardless of model or software  on the host it is attached to) is report statistics, like % battery and estimated time left at current load, and the software processes this data and decides when to shut down the host. I wonder if there were some sort of permission issues preventing NUT from initiating proper shutdown, or if it was not reading the statistics from the UPS properly.

    You have to setup squid as transparent proxy, that wil allow lightsquid to see traffic. But in my experience Bandwithd gives you better ip info.

    @cmb: "No route to host" means you don't have a default gateway on the system. Or maybe that you have IPv6 configured internally but no IPv6 default route/Internet connectivity. Set the system to prefer IPv4 in that case under System>Advanced, Networking. Im marking this issue as solved and posting a thank you for the fix in the quote above. +1 Karma to cmb. Thank you for your reply. It solved my issue. It was indeed not having IPv6 under my WAN interface set to DHCP.

    Hello, I also work on integrating a custom version in a different Xfce Desktop Environment. After several tests, I found this solution which allows you to lock updates pkg : pkg lock pkg If you already installed, I advice you to reinstall everything because the "Package Manager" no longer work. Otherwise you can use the version "2.3.1 DEVEL", which integrates to date this version of PKG.
