    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.

    The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat.

    @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.

    @g4m3c4ck:

    Have you even seen if the file or directory truely exists? If the directory exits but not the file have you tried " touch /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_9698_fxp0/snort.conf" in the shell?

    g4m3c4ck has a good idea.

    I have a few hours this morning to work on this issue.
    I'm going to add code to create missing files when a save is executed.

    In this case i suggest you get paid support here: https://portal.pfsense.org/

    (Hint: I was serious when i meant you should start reading the forum. Talk about blocking pages via names is like in the top 10 of the last active threads http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,24976.0.html )

    If you setup squid and squidGuard, and then enter the proxy settings on each workstation instead of relying on transparent proxying, you can do this.

    There are some docs on setting up squid+squidGuard here on the forum and on the doc wiki.

    BandwidthD is probably good enough for what you want, that will get you bandwidth by IP.

    As for open connections, that's already there under Diagnostics > States, and a better view by the "States Summary" package I wrote.

    that could definitely cause some issues, but it looks like it's just enough to be annoying.

    Here is how to change the monitor IP, it's not in the GUI:

    @0tt0:

    @jilingshu:

    hi all,
    I wanna set a port mirroring to monitor all traffic in LAN interface. I have searched this forum and found someone said I can use "dup-to" to do this(http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=14334.0). But he said no details. So could u tell me some more information on this? thx!

    Kinda interesting, but I wouldn't burden the firewall with that, have the switch do the work if possible.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_mirroring

    hi,
    The problem is that I have no switch with port mirroring function… My switch is so cheap(50RMB, about $7) to have any functions except connecting all computers together...

    I only need to sniff traffic between LAN and WAN so I think make a port mirroring my firewall is suitable. ;)

    @jilingshu:

    yes, I really wanna to log everything which user visited. ;)
    A little problem: It looks like that a web proxy will make some website cannot be visited like www.alipay.com (This is the most famous online-paying website in China). Is there any way for me to prevent this problem happening? thx!

    BTW: I think the best solution for my problem is to make a port mirroring, but I dont know how to do this… :(

    Pretty straight forward once you got the switch that supports it. Check your switch's manual. You have to deal with the traffic being mirrored somehow too.
