    I recently start have trouble saving my HAProxy configuration due to a error. It keeps adding clientca_ in front of the SSL offload certificate name. On file level this file does not exist! I tested with both HA Proxy plugins, the regular and dev version. I tried to regenerate the SSL (Lets Encrypt) but this keeps happening. [ALERT] (45623) : config : Couldn't open the ca-file '/var/etc/haproxy_test/clientca_shared-frontend.pem' (No such file or directory). [ALERT] (45623) : config : parsing [/var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg:28] : 'bind 0.0.0.0:443' in section 'frontend' : 'ca-file' : unable to load /var/etc/haproxy_test/clientca_shared-frontend.pem Does anybody have the same behaviour? to be clear I have the 25.07-RC running. The relevant part of /var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg frontend shared-frontend bind 0.0.0.0:443 name 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt-list /var/etc/haproxy_test/shared-frontend.crt_list ca-file /var/etc/haproxy_test/**clientca_**shared-frontend.pem verify required crl-file /var/etc/haproxy_test/**clientcrl_**shared-frontend.pem

    @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.

    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.

    Honestly? pfBlocker needs a severe diet, getting rid of useless stuff such as the GeoIP-based lists years and years old and completely useless the legacy HTML tables layout needs to get eradicated everywhere across the pfSense code these "validator" fixes caused a bunch of severe regressions (such as completely breaking the schedules) lately so IMNSHO this just should be left as it is as long it works

    Bryan: Thank you for your help on this. I finally got around to following your advice to uninstall DansGuardian from the gui, then from a terminal session I deleted all of the dansguardian files from your steps #2-3. I upgraded pfsense to 2.1.2. I then reinstalled DansGuardian from the gui, and everything seems to be working correctly. The correct symlinks are there, and I can edit the configurations using the gui. Almost all of my previous settings are still there– I'm glad about that but I am curious where those configuration settings are stored. ** Tip: After reinstalling DansGuardian, I had trouble getting DansGuardian to start until I deleted .dguardianipc and .dgaurdianurlipc in /tmp. Rebooted and it works again.  (see this message for this tip: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=75068.msg409652#msg409652)

    A phantom new line has showed up for some reason out of nowhere, unrelated to anything that's changed recently. We're still looking for the source of it, but in the mean time, a new package v1.23 is out there that fixes the issue. If it's something we can fix only server-side, we will, for now if you upgrade the package it'll work.

    Worked perfectly, I can edit the template, save, and the changes take effect immediately! Many thanks for your help. The DG/Squid combo appears to be working nicely now, I don't notice any browsing difference going through the proxy compared to a direct connection except of course the filtering - but I am only 1 user. Monday I'll point a group of students at it - that's when the problems began last few times with timeouts, slowness, etc.. Hopefully it won't this time. Again, thanks for your help.

    I can confirm I ran into this same issue, I however didn't need to have the proxy set, just used it to allow caching.  Since https isn't cached on my Squid setup I just removed it, and problem was resolved. The autoupdate firmware check was still able to find updates, and the problem persisted after the 2.1.2 update which was done on my system which had this problem, prior to fixing the issue. However its definitely a repeatable scenario that should be resolve in the case where the proxy is required.

    Well, is should not keep disabling itself on every damn reinstall, dunno what's the bug there. Reported many times but this thing is pretty much in need of major rewrite, dropping all those not anymore useful features, like years old geoIP lists.

    It is thank you! Although there now appears to be a problem with the Emerging Threats Open rule set, specifically one of the rules in "emerging-web_client.rules" that is causing a fatal error and preventing Snort from starting. I have disabled those rules for now.

    Is the status for the dashboard widget a green up arrow or a red down arrow? Can you check your Firewall \ Rules \ WAN - to see if there is a pfblocker auto rule that has been created for each of your pfblocker lists ? This page https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=42543.705 talks about a bug that might be causing your problem.
