    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.

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    @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 :

    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.

    I had a similar issue with Routed VTI over IPsec recently. FRR lost its neighbors after rebooting or when a tunnel went down. It never re-discovered it automatically. Only restarting FRR (either in GUI or via CLI) brought the neighbors back.

    When I manually added those under the OSPF neighbors tab in the GUI it seems to solve the problem as well.

    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.

    if you add the two acl's with the same acl name, they will be combined. this should produce the wanted result.

    Would look like this:
    Result would be this for the acl name "MyAclCombined1", (didn't check if below config works..) :
    acl        0_MyAclCombined1  hdr(host) -i vhost1.pfsense.local
    acl        1_MyAclCombined1  path_beg -i /test/
    use_backend      test_http if 0_MyAclCombined1 1_MyAclCombined1
    If you want more advanced combinations of acl's however i think you will need to write them in one of the passthrough sections as 'text'.

    To add to Bills comments-

    I use Mikrotik switches to mirror my traffic. They are not that expensive.. under a hundred dollars. Depending on how much traffic you are seeing, it should handle quite a bit of traffic. The good thing about this switch is that you can mirror multiple ports on a single switch.

    http://routerboard.com/RB260GS

    pfSense will monitor all traffic that passes thru the router. But if you want to capture traffic on the Lan, you
    need to put a monitoring interface at every point where you want to look at. So if you want to monitor a file server, you need to mirror/span/tap infront of that interface to see it.

    You can add a nic to pfSense and send the packets to it and use Snort, or another option is using a program called "Security Onion".

    Hmm, add the pidgin.im and skype.com IP's to the block lists?
    Maybe the webservers of those sites aren't strict on the full domain name, so the squidguard is strict and won't recognize the address exactly.

    www.skype.com skype.com (assumes "www." and goes to the site) whatever.skype.com (assumes "www." and is not recognized by squidguard)

    @Xtern:

    Hello,

    I'm new here. Very cool forum. My problem with Snort is that it shows me this:

    Warning:
    New settings will not take effect until interface restart.

    I did the setup like the guide (sticky above) told me, but I can't get rid of this warning message. It's there after restarting the whole machine, when I restart Snort, when I disable and enable the daemon and so on. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Best,
    Xtern

    Fragged is right.  That's just a "reminder" sort of message to let you know that most changes to Snort interface parameters require a restart of Snort on the interface in order for the new settings to become active.

    @markn62:

    @wagonza:

    @markn62 was this problem fixed for you? or is it still an issue?

    Not much has changed.  Seems that the package operates very much like it did since the question above was asked.  The only change I noticed was a few more "do not's"  that are important to adhere too for the package to work properly.  I guess it is what it is.

    I can't reproduce any of your current issues at all with the package even using all your custom options. Something else must be going on or you have something else as an additional problem. Try saving your whole pfsense configuration and loading that config onto a VM ands testing to give us information to go on. Or even for yourself. The devs are replacing dnsmasq with unbound afterall. If you copy your unbound.conf on your seperate box to your pfsense and only restart the service does it work?

    Hi,

    If your using haproxy-devel package, and you give the acl's the same name they will be combined into 1 condition. I think that will accomplish what you want.?

    Result would be this for the acl name "MyAclCombined1", (didn't check if below config works..) :
    acl        0_MyAclCombined1  hdr(host) -i vhost1.pfsense.local
    acl        1_MyAclCombined1  path_beg -i /test/
    use_backend      test_http if 0_MyAclCombined1 1_MyAclCombined1

    If you want more advanced combinations of acl's however i think you will need to write them in one of the passthrough sections as 'text'.

    I am using transparent mode hence could never get the loopback to work. Never tried it in standard mode as I have too many devices in the network and not all are configurable.. like TVs, Blu-Ray Players.. etc.
