    @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?

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?

    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.

    @splmachine: That rule was exactly what I needed, Thanks. Now I can match up rule number with the actual rule. One last thing though, looking in the log settings I have raw logging enabled, and most of the options enabled. Is there a way to have the logging show pfBlockerAliasName vs something like "Rule 50"? Or is that it? Is Rule 50 one of the Default rules or a pfBlocker Rule? If its a Default rule it will just show the Rule Number. You would most likely leave these three off. Especially the first one as you will get a lot of noise. Log packets blocked by the default rule   Log packets blocked by 'Block Bogon Networks' rules   Log packets blocked by 'Block Private Networks' rules One thing to remember is that if you modify a Rule, it will change the Rule Names in the Firewall log (all will be mismatched). This will hopefully be fixed in 2.2

    No worries, upgrading to 2.1.3 has fixed the issue. Must have been something that got changed in the package or the package system. Thanks! Edit: Not sure if it matters, but the error message said something pertaining to a missing nmap.inc, install failed, then the install would gracefully back out and perform the nmap uninstall, removing all nmap components. If I can get the exact error message from an un-updated install I will before I update it.

    @BBcan17: Great stuff… This will make testing that much easier!! EDIT: On another note, also having the functionality to create a fresh NEW interface would also be beneficial instead of trying to re-enable all of the previously disabled rules. That functionality is there today with the current (+) icon.  I'm not changing that one.  I will be adding new (+) icons beside each configured interface.  Clicking the (+) beside an already configured interface will perform the DUP function.  The layout will be pretty much just like the firewall rules page.  So the (+) icon at the top right of the tab will create a new fresh interface (just like it does today).  The (+) icon beside an existing configured interface will DUP it. In terms of the rules, on the RULES tab today is an icon that will remove all forced enable/disable changes for all rules on the interface.  This essentially resets the rules to their default state.  There is a similar icon that will do this for only the currently selected category.

    @priller: Not "alerts.log" …... "suricata.log".  It uses a different date format from all the other logs. suricata.log 3/5/2014 -- 14:37:21 To match the other logs that should be 5/3/2014, or more specifically 05/03/2014 .  Today being 5/5, it's a bad day to compare the different formats!  ;D alerts.log 05/01/2014-02:38:47.669925 http.log 05/03/2014-17:40:37.873931 tls.log 05/02/2014-07:39:35.069581 Oh…sorry, I understand now.  I will look again in the config docs, but I don't think there is any way to change that outside of editing the actual binary source code.  I can see how much of an issue that would be and perhaps sneak it into the next release when I upgrade to 2.0.

    Then I am baffled as to why one firewall has the issue while another (supposedly configured the same way) does not.  There would be only two logical explanations:  (1) either they are, in fact, not actually configured the same although they are supposed to be, or (2) you said one was VMware-based, and it is conceivable that VMware's virtual networking could play into the mix with that HTTP_INSPECT alert. Maybe setting up a standalone pfSense install to see if VMWare is the culprit is the best solution to rule out the Virtual machine idiosyncrasys. or a VM machine for the Main Site.

    Tx. I noticed another issue this WE. I took a fresh Asterisk backup and did some config tests. After that I wanted to go back to my backup (as I usually do after testing)…: it restored the backup and initiated a reboot after reboot....it re-installed the Asterisk package again !!!! then I had to restore (again) and it works... Strange behaviour no ?

    Seems you have found the wrong forum? pfSense which is based on FreeBSD has nothing to do with CentOS ? You should probably try the haproxy mailing-list for this question, maybe one of the core developers present on that list can help you further: haproxy@formilux.org

    @simby: Hi! i have install Suricata 1.4.6 pkg v1.0.1 with snort. Snort is disabled, suricata is On with AC + blocking. In log i don see any alerts, no blocking. I have tested with grc.com  :(( I have pfsense 2.1.3 x64 Not a good idea at all to run these two packages together on the same firewall.  I would remove the Snort package if you want to use Suricata.  Also, did you select some rules for Suricata to enforce?  You did not mention that in your post.  Oh, and one other point– Suricata really works best only with the Emerging Threats rules.  There are many of the Snort rules that have Snort-specific keywords in them, and these rules will fail to compile on Suricata.  Suricata will start, but it will not use any rules that fail to compile.  This is different from Snort.  If Snort chokes on any rule during compilation, it will not start up.  Go to the Logs Browser tab and examine the suricata.log file for the interface and look for any errors.

    @tomtomtom6600: hi bmeeks, thanks for explaining my second problem. This is clear now. Back to my first problem. I will do what you have mentionend, but is it possible that my problem has something to do with squid running in transparend mode. Is it possible that those downloads are cached thanks Ah!  Yes, caching is a possibility.  If you mentioned it before, I missed you saying anything about squid running. Bill

    Hrmm yeah only unbound-1.4.21_1.tbz is available. 1.4.22 for 2.0.X was not built for some reason automatically. You on 2.1.3 now so I am not going to worry too much :)

    It seems many times I post here, a bit of knowledge is forced back to me through the web, my keyboard and into my head.  It seems I figure it out immediately after posting (whether or not a get good advice). In this case it was the interface assignment which was set to the physical interface, not the VLAN on that interface. Miles Deep out
