    @SteveITS I understand, but let's speak from the user/client point of view. Why a client must raise tickets in a bugtracker like Redmine or Jira or whatever? A client expectation is that, if a package is available, to be updated or maintained. If the package is not maintained it will become a security and performance issue with time. I mean I understand, maybe, Netgate doesn't have resources, but then, they can remove it, instead of waiting for something to happen... Just my 2 cents. @bmeeks Your suggestion is preferred, but from I understood from you, nobody is interested or have the knowledge. Again thank you, for updating this package over the years.

    @Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things). But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.

    @Gertjan Thanks for your reply – that’s also my impression. The point is: I don’t really see any lists right now that are actually “maintained” in the sense of being actively cleaned up, checked for dead domains, categorized, etc. That’s why my main interest is more about the demand: Would curated lists really be a game changer for admins? Would they be more helpful than what’s available today, or are most people already using other alternatives? If so, which ones? And from your perspective, what would be your expectation towards “community lists”? (e.g. reliability, update frequency, categories, fewer false positives?)

    @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.

    Anyone else happen to notice that when configuring BFD, if you create a peer and select a profile - after save, re-edit the peer and the Profile is not represented. It appears as "None". You have to check the raw config to determine if the profile was actually assigned to the peer. This is on 2.8.1 (all packages up to date as of the date/time of this post). UPDATE: if re-edit and save (without re-configuring the profile none to what you want) - the save will strip the profile from the peer.

    Hi All, I use HAProxy to redirect to a range of https internal resources, this works really well at the moment through the WAN where I have source limits set up, and I can connect to the internal resources from limited external IP Addresses. Given I have tailscale I would like to basically be able to put custom dns entries in to point these hostnames to my pfsense tailscale IP4 address (100.89.148.118) but I am not having any luck getting this working. At the moment, I am just trying to connect to HAProxy using https://100.89.148.118 but it is getting blocked by the firewall. Sep 11 11:55:58 tailscale0 Default deny rule IPv4 (1000000103) 100.89.148.10:53148 100.89.148.118:443 TCP:S I have tried with and without NAT redirecting internally to 127.0.0.1, and I also have rules set up to allow any traffic to and from my tailnets (defined in an alias) but I still keep getting these connections from my other tailscale machines being blocked on the pfsense machine. Can someone give me some pointers on what I am missing because I can see the requests are coming through to the pfsense machine, and in theory the rules should allow it through but I cant see why they don't. I do have tailscale ACL in place, but clearly that is not an issue as the requests are making it through to the firewall. 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP TailNets * TailNets * * none Allow across Tailnets 0/0 B IPv4+6 TCP/UDP * * * 443 (HTTPS) * none Allow Tailscale IP4 I also tried adding a EasyRule but because the tailscale0 interface doesn't exist in pfsense it throws an error and won't let me add that rule. Appreciate any help or tips, Cheers.

    @HFADmin If it is no Site2Site-VPN then you don't need any gateways in the first place... If that is true but you want to monitor the connection then you could create dummy-gateways just to ping the remote ip-addresses.

    @tgordon: I have squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.3 installed on PFSENSE in transparent mode with squidGuard 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.5. I cannot get the whitelist to work under the access control section of the proxy. It does work if I put the domain names in the General section under "Bypass proxy for these destination IPs". This is not ideal though as it does not work for sub domains, so I have to add all possible sub domains to this line as well. while using squiguard, you need to include it on it's acls as all requests will be forwarded to it. @tgordon: Also, this is only a 1 line text box, so it is getting very long. You can also include an alias name on this field

    You should update it periodically. A cron job is not recommended unless you know for sure the URL source allows periodic fetching. Some of them state they do not allow it, or say it's frowned upon, etc.

    How many interfaces is lightsquid supposed to report on for you? Are there firewall rules that would prevent all the interfaces from seeing each other? In services > proxy server > access control in the External Cache-Managers, is the IP for all of the interfaces you are attempting to monitor listed there?

    /usr/local/pkg/autoconfigbackup.inc It sounds like your system has some autoconfigbackup setting enabled (or maybe just having the package mentioned in the config is enough) and thus various operations on the system try to invoke that automagically. But the "inc" file is only half there. I would get the file from GitHub - https://raw.github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/master/config/autoconfigbackup/autoconfigbackup.inc - copy the raw code from the GitHub raw display. Use Diagnostics->Edit File to open /usr/local/pkg/autoconfigbackup.inc , select all, paste the good code over the top, save. Now the code should be callable. Then you can access System->Packages and (hopefully) remove or reinstall or whatever you want.

    Well then… I think it might be worth your time to go ahead with a 64GB install just to say you did if you can lay your hands on more RAM later. RAM can be had for cheap and running squid with a RAM cache makes things speedy. You can simultaneously fulfil your childish-gimmicky love of the word 64-bit while preparing for future upgrade. Its supported.  http://ark.intel.com/products/59682 [image: pebkac.jpg] [image: pebkac.jpg_thumb]

    Well - I only run squid at home here and with a house full of people banging away on keyboards it takes weeks to fill 25000 of disk cache for me.  Assuming the cache isn't stale, that might = better performance, but I'd bet it would make a much bigger difference if a couple hundred people were on it or more.

    Personally, I think the blacklists from Squidblacklist.org are much better than the ones from Shallalist.de that are the default with SquidGuard.  8)

    @Amirkabir: Have you changed files like globals.inc? for example, product_website must be valid. I haven't edited any files, I went in and looked at the file you mentioned and that variable points to "www.pfsense.org" EDIT I've been fighting with this for several hours with no luck and now out of the blue it works… It's baffling to me why it would suddenly start working without me doing anything, but I guess i can't complain >_>
