    i am using pfsense 2.8.0 with haproxy 0.63_10 and i have 4 sites that redirect to two different web server, i am using two frontend, one for http request redirect to https using rule: scheme https, and a second with type ssl/https(tcp mode) to redirect the request with the acl and the action, now i want to add a new site to one of the web servers i create a new backend (and even tried duplicate) and add the proper acl and action as always did but for some reason since the update to 2.8.0 the redirect keeps going to the wrong backend, i tried a test and rewrote and old backend and updated the acl and rule in the frontend and it works fine, is there a known bug since the update because it keeps happening even after reboot to pfsense and the haproxy service and reinstall of the package.

    @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.

    @ptbman: I've discovered (through netstat) that the port squid should be listening is closed. Any ideas? Enable ipv6 on system -> advanced. It's something with squid compilation on freebsd/pfsense.

    Tip: https://calomel.org/proxy_auto_config.html isInNet(host, pattern, mask) isInNet(host, "192.168.249.79", "255.255.255.255")     is true if the IP address of host matches exactly 192.168.249.79. isInNet(host, "192.168.0.0", "255.255.0.0")     is true if the IP address of the host matches 192.168.*.*. Well it might work, but like you said you have hosts without local records…

    OK, so the base program I found and then modified. It used lsof and ipnat but it could all be done with pfctl -ss output as far as I can see. Bear in mind this is crufty 14-year-old code that probably is horribly bad in many ways. https://gist.github.com/jim-p/78b7637ef5ce8c7b3219

    Moved this to Packages since it's specific to OSPF and not specific to 2.1.1 @heper: have made a quick attempt to get ospf working with a similar openvpn tls/ssl setup in VM - and failed :( after some digging with openvpn "topology subnet" i did manage to get ospf to get to a full-link state … but routing failed. perhaps jimp or ermal or any other core dev could shed some light on this. OSPF requires tun mode to use /30 tunnel networks, or tap mode for a shared instance with multiple clients. I've not seen it work in tun mode w/topology subnet.

    @dgcom: @bmeeks: I assume you are talking about rule updates with the updates download issue.  If so, that could be because the Snort VRT folks tie rule versions to specific Snort binary versions.  This is completely out of the control of the Snort package on pfSense. Yes, I am talking about rule download issue. But I wonder how this breaks during restore? It should be downloading rules for whatever version of Snort initiated said download, right? Regardless of what version the restored config was… It restored my oinkmastercode and tried to download something but then complained that checksum was wrong. If no one else is suffering this, it might be not important to spend your time on, really. Thank you for you work on this package, Bill. I will take a look at this by playing around in a virtual machine.  It will be a week or two before I have some time, though.  Trying to get the next Snort update out the door and also will be away on a family trip for a week.

    @marcelloc: That will be a great addition to the package. Is there any public ip reputation network that whe can use? I was told the Emerging Threats guys are working on one, but I'm not sure if it will be free or pay.  Maybe they will do something similar to what they do for the rules:  offer a comprehensive and daily updated list for paying customers, and a slightly dated and maybe not quite as comprehensive list for free. The Snort IP Reputation preprocessor is pretty simple, though.  All it needs is a text file with one IP address or CIDR network per line, so that should lend itself to use with many of the other types of lists out there.

    G'day all lovers of the finest firewall in the world  ;D Would anybody happen to know what this error means: Poll UPS [ups@192.168.4.37] failed - Write error: Operation not permitted The 4.37 is the Synology that acts as the UPS server. Yesterday I was literally flooded with this (a couple of 100 emails about this), and normally I also get these a couple of times a week. Google didn't help me any further. I am trying to understand who is trying to write what to where and who is messing around with that ( :P). In NUT the light is green, the synology also doesn't complain about anything UPS-related, so I am, at least temporary, once again completely lost. Thank you for any help  ;D

    I understand your point.  But on pfsense you can get help from core team (paid support) to fix packages in that situation or to fast develop new ones. Community help as much as free time permits  :)

    @Dadoo: Ahhh… I see. Whitelists are per-interface, not per-firewall. That explains why some of the addresses on the whitelist were blocked, while others were not.  The GUI doesn't make that obvious. Now that I've set a whitelist for both interfaces, that seems to have solved the problem. Thanks for your help. You're welcome.  I am starting a project to revise/update the Snort package documentation on the pfSense Documentation Wiki.  It will take me some time to get everything updated.  The stuff there now is way old and goes back many Snort versions well before I began offering some updates to the code.  Once the documentation update is complete, I will then make sure the various HELP links within the Snort GUI to point to the relevant Wiki page.

    @neokeane: Is it possible to install a specific version package via web gui? I can install it via console, but I want to see and configure it by web gui too. WebGUI configurator for packages - specific program for generate package config files. You can not simple take any package and manage him via WebGUI. You can install any accesible FreeBSD package from console and manage him via config file (by unix style) at one's own risk. Or you can install existing pfSense package via WebGUI and manage him via GUI.
