    @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: This IP does exist on my LAN but why it resolves some weird random desktop-sdshdsd.local? Then it's time to visit that device "192.168.1.85", and inspect it. pfSense was just replies on a DNS request coming from it. Loads of DNS request is 'normal' these days. Btw : buy yourself a big collection of connected devices (preference : 'foreign origin") and you wind up with loads of bizarre DNS requests. For example, a classic "Windows 11 Home" PC is already considered as 'bloated', which means that the list of all these xbox, candy store and other 'essential' processes is quiet big? And they all call 'home'. And ask yourself this question : "do you really know what users actually do with their devices" ? @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Also no 192.168.51.5 exists on my network either Is "192.168.51.5" a typo ? It doesn't show up in any logs ... If your pfSense LAN uses the 192168.1.1/24 network, and a device connected to that LAN using the 192.168.51.5, it can't communicate. A network with statically assigned IP info (IP, mask/network, gateways and DNS) is hard to manage. That's why DHCP was invented, and activated by default for every device you buy. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: I assume it is related to time servers? Why do you presume that ? Look them up and you'll see. "ntpns.org" is probably the NS server of ntp.org A lot of devices want to know the exact time. Even when DHCP can propose a time server - you can set up pfSense as a time server for your LAN devices - many devices will disregard this info, an insist in using their own hard coded time server source. For example, a Microsoft PC will default to time.microsoft.com, but you can set it to 192.168.1.1 or pfsense.your-sense-domaine.tld (which will point to 192.168.1.1 = pfSense). You could to do this for every LAN device. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: .local addresses What is your pfSense domain set to ? @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Its very mysterious and I only see this now with pfblockerNG. Set : Services > DNS Resolver > Advanced Settings : Log Level to : [image: 1754468971160-b17dd7a5-9427-497e-a3d0-5936024787b0-image.png] and save, apply. Now have a loo here : Status > System Logs > System > DNS Resolver or better : console : tail -f /var/log/resolver.log Don't forget to set back the Log Level to 1 !! ( !! ) as the resolver.log will get very big very fast. Conclusion : there is a lot of DNS traffic. These are all small packets, and finally just a small percentage of the total traffic.

    @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.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

Something about downloading 6 libraries from somewhere seemed like not time for me to be doing squid3-dev yet. i'm running 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.5 using i386 firmware with no issues.. I'm not running in Transparent mode, but i do have anti-virus enabled (clamd) The files that are listed are from the developers file repository. I think there has been issues to get the right files merge into the package pbi file

    @cthurner: Hello, thanx for your reply. I have used the radtest tool on the command line to test the OTP authentication as described here https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_2.x_package. As password I have used the OTP that has been created by DroidOTP on my Android phone. I don't think I have mistyped anything. Furthermore I have compared the otpverify.sh from http://motp.sourceforge.net/bash/otpverify.sh with the version provided by the freeradius2 package. The original script uses "OTP=printf $EPOCHTIME$SECRET$PIN|checksum|cut -b 1-6" (in line 104) whereas the freeradius version uses "OTP=printf $EPOCHTIME$SECRET$PIN|checksum|cut -b 6". In my understanding the second version is wrong, as it only uses the 6th character instead of the first 6 characters. Therefore any authentication request via radius will be rejected. With my modifaction it works. So I think this is indeed a bug. CU Christian I try to explain it again for you. On the GUI YOU probably typed: 6 This is "wrong" because it only uses character 6 (just one character) On the GUI you MUST type: 1-6 This uses characters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

    TCP does not have a notion of a "request". TCP is just a binary stream of data, like a file stream. What you would need is a reverse proxy that could forward based on mysql protocol. My guess is this has not been done as it sounds like there is a better way to handle this, but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone can help you with if this can be done.

    If your WAN IP is public, DynDNS will let you reach it. If your WAN IP is private and you control your modem/router ahead of you, then set it to pass the traffic into your pfSense (e.g. port forward, "DMZ", etc) and you can still use DynDNS. If your WAN IP is private and your ISP is performing Carrier-Grade NAT then in all likelihood you have no way to receive inbound traffic for remote management. If you have another location that has a public address, you could do a site-to-site tunnel to there, and then have a remote access VPN connect to that and hop across a site-to-site VPN to reach the router that's stuck behind NAT.

    In the menu, look at Services - proxy filter.  From there, use Times to create your schedule.  Then go to Groups ACL to create groups of IP addresses and what they are allowed to access, and link them to the schedule.

    @BBcan177: I would suggest that you block all outgoing LAN DNS requests unless they are originating from your DNS Server(s) or pfSense DNS apps. This is a very effective way to handle the potential issue.  Restrict all LAN DNS traffic to just your internal DNS server (or servers), then further restrict outbound DNS (on WAN) to designated forwarders. There are some DNS policy rules in the Emerging Threats family that can help as well, but in my view the easiest method is restricting outbound DNS to only authorized hosts. Bill

    I'm no expert either.  I just try to help people if I can. To get to the log, first login to the shell (option 8 in the pfSense text menu). From there, go to /var/log and look for squidGuard.log.  Maybe take a look at the system.log while you're at it. I can't even begin to tell you what to look for other than obvious errors.

    1.2.3 is no longer supported. Squid+SquidGuard on NanoBSD on 1.2.3 even less so. There could be some remnant of a past installation somewhere on the drive in /usr/local/pkg/ or in the config.xml that needs cleaned out. Not enough info to say, but you should really be running the latest version (2.1.x) and not 1.2.x.
