    @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.

    This is still an issue as of 2.8.0 / 25.07, and it drives me crazy. Gateway failure works as expected, the wireguard tunnels will fail over to the backup gateway and continue on as normal, but will never recover once the failed gateway comes back online. While a reboot will (usually) fix it, I usually just go into my routing settings and mark the secondary gateway as down, forcing it to revert back to the primary... the users tend to dislike it when I reboot the firewall in the middle of the day

    @Legion: If you just want to block a short, fixed list of things, can't you use aliases and firewall rules? Absolutely. The hard part of doing it that way though is that some of the bigger sites can have multiple IP addresses and those addresses can change on a fairly regular basic. You really need something that keeps the list of addresses up to date if you are trying to block one of the large sites…

    Sorry for the long come back. Been busy with some works though. @dig1234: transparent proxy? Nope it is not transparent. Both HTTP/HTTPS are filtered & using WPAD for auto proxy. @Cino: iphone/ipad, you can use wpad but you have to enable it in the wifi setting for automatic… android, you have to manually set the proxy server in the dhcp/wifi setting... but i dont think https will work right... This is a pain. May be I should use some sort of captive portal on a different subnet. But then again it break the whole point of having a proxy in place. :(

    @Hollander: So, Bill: is there perhaps a way to apply the settings from LAN to VLANx via a script in the CLI? Bye  :P Yes, this is technically possible, but the developers were not keen on the idea so I did not include it.  All of the settings for an interface are stored as XML data in the /conf/config.xml file on the firewall.  If you study that file and know XML, you can pretty quickly see how things work.  Just find the section for Packages and then Suricata (or Snort).  Each configured Suricata interface has its own sub-section in the file.  Copying one sub-section over to another, and adjusting for interface names and a couple of other interface-unique parameters is all that is required.

    @dmitripr: … Based on the topic I link in my second message, looks like the blocked hosts are removed when filter is reset -- which would happen at reboot. That's outside of Snort's control. Thanks for the message, though! Correct.  On a reboot all of the pf tables are cleared, including the <snor2c>table utilized by Snort. Bill</snor2c>

    I don't know of anything that would remove the CRON package after it was installed. Only thing, i could see is if you did a Restore of a Previous Configuration which rolled it back to before CRON was installed.

    You can use Squid's Traffic Mgmt tab to throttle particular extensions.  Set Per-host throttling to 2000 (KB), Throttle only specific extensions checked, and your list of extensions in Throttle other extensions

    I suspect it was your browser cache.  I've seen this exact problem myself more than once, and a ctrl-F5 always fixed it.  You get the error page, hit F5 and see the same error page, hit ctrl-F5 and there it is.  It's weird like that, but you just remember the glitch if you do a lot of installs.

    Run a Lightsquid report and see what your Hit% is after a week or so of normal usage for your cafe.  That will tell you how effective Squid is being about caching content and saving bandwidth.

    @Cino: Noticed something else this morning, the cron job that removes IPs from snort2c seems to disappears after a reboot. I have to go to into the global tab and save it so the job is recreated. EDIT: Nevermind… Its not because of a reboot... When I make changes to snort, it removes the cron job because I deactivated blocking in snort You can have lots of weird issues if you run both Snort and Suricata in blocking mode because for the moment they share the same pf table (the snort2c table).

    @cyber7: To the pfSense Developers.  PLEASE STOP BREAKING THE WIDESCREEN ABILITY! It has never been broken intentionally. We can't hold back the base system because some unofficial and unsupported patch might break, especially when security and similar fixes are required. The original creator of the patch or someone with the skills to update it would have to keep up with the code changes in the base system. If someone wants to maintain the patch and bring it up to a current version, others may appreciate it, but if we wanted the patch in the base system for 2.1.x it would have been officially accepted there long ago. There is a widescreen theme in 2.2, and 2.2 is moving along, almost to BETA. That's the only place that officially contains widescreen support. Anything else only works by luck/chance. If it bothers you that much, put up a bounty to have someone fix the widescreen patch or fix it yourself for others to use.

    I had to go here to get the full details: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/WindowsUpdate not 100% it is actually working as intended with those recommendations as lightsquid logs are not totally clear as to whom is getting a hit on the cache for updates… so ya.  maybe that will help you some.

    Using Squid and SquidGuard, go to Services - Proxy filter.  Click the Target categories tab and add a new one.  Give it a name and add your allowed domains to the Domain List.  Click Save.  Go to the Common ACL tab and click the green arrow button to expand the Target Rules List.  Make sure your Target category is listed at the top and its access is set to allow.  Underneath that (because the rules are processed in order from top down) make sure that Default access [all] is set to deny.  Set your Proxy Denied Error, Redirect mode, and Redirect info to whatever you need.  Click Save.  Go to the General settings tab.  Click Save, then click Apply.

    @Cino: @Trel: I turned on packet logging for an interface to test with, but I can't find where to actually access those logs. I kept getting the "Suspicious User Agent" alert so I wanted to look at the packets to see what actually it's flagging. i get a ton of them, mostly false positives for me but look here /var/log/suricata/suricata_'interface id' Based on the port being used and the  machine it's coming from, I'm fairly certain I know what's triggering it and if I'm reading the rule right: http://doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/2001891 That's being triggered by "3a" or " agent" being in the user agent?

    My unbound runs OK. (2.1.x, x64) Have you tried, without the cache restoration option turned on? With cache restoration turned on, my system reboot would take forever, because of unbound hanging/processing a maybe corrupt cache-file.
