    @nick23369 You don't have to wait for the official fix. Adding the directive load-server-state-from-file none to each backend will override the default behavior and makes HAProxy backend changes take effect immediately. This is the easiest - do it one time and it's done. You can also stop HAProxy, delete run rm /tmp/haproxy_server_state from Diagnostic > Command Prompt, and then start HAProxy. There is no problem with HAProxy, it just takes some extra work to make negate the hardcoded config settings and make backend changes apply immediately without having to reboot pfSense.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

That's probably good thing ? ( ! ). Up to you to discover why your NAS should initiate connections to these countries. A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    2008 DCs do not play nice with LDAP authentication, due to some slight changes made by Microsoft. It's not only squid-cache that has the problem. Current workarounds involve samba installs, joining the box to the domain and switching to kerberos autentication. Not what you wanted to hear I suppose. On the plus side the squid port for Windows 2008 runs fine. On the original post in this topic I have to wonder why people keep using the Domain Administrator account for LDAP lookups. This is a huge security hole. Please stop doing it people. All you need is an unprivileged account not the admin account blasting the password out in clear text for the world to see.

    @danswartz: You are misunderstanding something fundamental about SSL.  The encrypted link is between the client (say a web browser on a pc on the LAN) and the server on the WAN.  At no point is there any traffic that havp can see and scan - if there was it wouldn't be very secure SSL :) Makes sense, but there could be some super powers behind HAVP :P Ok maybe not :P Though, youtube is still slow with HAVP, and it's just youtube.

    Same here…..If you set Scan max file size in Havp to a lower value it will start the video faster. If set higher, the delay is longer. I'm not sure if this is by design or an issue. Havp is mainly for small exploits and not usually for large files. I find that setting max scan file size to 2000-2500K is adequate for me.

    I believe that package doesn't exist as a pfsense package so you can't use it via the web interface. Things you install using pkg_add are just standard freebsd packages and are not supported with pfsense web ui. If you want to use them, you have to do so from command line.
