    @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.

    I installed freeRADIUS on i386 and amd64 and I did not have such problems. Perhaps a "Clear package lock", complete deinstallation of freeradius und clearing the config.xml from freeRADIUS entries and the a new installation of freeRADIUS solves the problem.

    You can see VRT changes here http://blog.snort.org/, here http://www.snort.org/snort-rules/#rules or here http://www.snort.org/vrt/advisories.xml/ You can see emergingthreats (open & pro) changes here http://www.emergingthreatspro.com/blog/ I am not sure about automating it to actually put it on your pfsense. Most sure way may be just to run pulledpork and sftp them over and restart. At least with pulledpork with enable and disable you can disable CVEs (i..e just disable all CVEs before a certain year if you wanted), rulesets etc. So once you go through the rules you can easily run it. It does output only 1 file for each (normal snort rules and shared object rule file) which I can see as being both good but i find it annoying and a  little less refined, especially in tuning as you could just cat an individual rule file or open it and see what is enabled/disabled (presence or lack of # to comment it out) and then make the adjustment where needed in pulledpork. Hopefully maintainer of the package will work on the updating so it remembers your changes either from GUI or provides you access to config file for disable, enable rules.

    Go to "Target categories" and enter all sites you want to allow/whitelist. Than go to "Group ACL" and "Common ACL" and chose "allow" or "whitelist" for this target categorie. Than "General Settings" and "Save" and "apply". PS: If an URL is in different categories and one categorie is "block" and another is "allow" than the URL will be blocked. "Block" is stronmger than "allow". To solve this problem chose "whitelist". If an URL is one times "blocked" and another time "whitelisted" than "whitelist" ist stronger.

    The problem isn't squid, it's HAVP. from: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=34199.0 Use the pfsense edit file tool under diagnostics and open this file:  /usr/local/pkg/havp.inc search for the following line: "$conf[] = "DetectBrokenExecutables   yes"; Change to: "$conf[] = "DetectBrokenExecutables   no"; save and restart HAVP.

    You can specify which interfaces Unbound can use to do outbound queries, so if you select both the WAN interfaces then queries will be balanced across the two interfaces. However if once interface goes down then you will get delays. So you can try this what Ermal mentioned in this forum post http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31125.msg167503.html and see if that works for you. Would be interested to know as i can then update the doc site.

    @marcelloc: The location of this file in pfsense is /var/db/postfix/postscreen_cache.db Postscreen readme says that it's a temporary white list, not persistent. I pulled what I posted from the README. So, the temporary white like might be persistent if set and will be cleared if not set? Documentation seems to not be clear on that. It might be temporary as in the age thing will remove entries. I cannot test this ATM … but should be something the maintainers of postscreen could clear up.

    I have the same problem. It seems to be working perfectly and without any errors, test virus sites are detected and blocked and all functions appear to work. I set it up in transparent mode and have not tried the other proxy modes. After a number of hours it completely kills my internet connection. Stopping havp and the proxy and clearing states not fix the problem. I have to reboot my pfsense and my router. Any one has any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Package list: pfblocker snort havp vnstat I tried disabling and removing snort and pfblocker but the problem still occurred.

    Made it more useful and submitted it http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2008 tcpdump format was problematic and doesnt add much but not having to run snort to interpret the dump would be nice. Cant get snort to dump only alert packets in binary (tcpdump) format. It wants to dump the whole world or not at all. Not sure how to make optional on alert type beyond hard coding a list or adding a checkbox to every rule or category.

    Why the hell is OpenDNS blocking Snort.org of all places? Does this mean "all their clients" networks are not able to reach the SNORT.org VRT updates?
