    @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?

    You can also admin this from the gui I found out– if you look on the page for the DNS forwarder, the bottom has a spot: Below you can override an entire domain by specifying an authoritative dns server to be queried for that domain. add your domain there.

    Do a ifconfig and only put BSD interface names like vr0, not WAN. Logging to mysql with multiple interfaces is broken right now. Redoing the code. Be patient. James

    OK i found solution. You must never use PTR drop down option but always use A and then check out "Automatic PTR entry". (It still creates only one entry in the DB, not what would expect from the GUI usage..). in-addr.arpa. zone can be added and everything works then as expected Hopefully this will help someone.

    But inorder to use automatic failover you need to have your client using the load balancing gateway instead of the defult one. So you need to create a failover gateway in services-> load balancer

    Thanks for the tip on the rule! Good point on the IP suggestion, however, I prefer to leave Internet access open by default.  and then deny particular users.  We use DHCP and I don't know which IP the user will have.  (I really like DHCP…makes it easy...)

    By default the Internal and External SIP profile get their ip using: $${local_ip_v4} The local_ip_v4 is usually auto discovered but you can force it to be the ip address that you want by doing the following. On the vars tab set the local_ip_v4 to the CARP ip address then restart FreeSWITCH. <x-pre-process cmd="set" data="local_ip_v4=0.0.0.0">If you have a static external ip address you could also save time by changing external_sip_ip and external_rtp_ip from the 'vars' tab. external_sip_ip: stun:stun.freeswitch.org external_rtp_ip: stun:stun.freeswitch.org Instead of stun set these to the ip address or the domain name.</x-pre-process>

    @_igor_: I'm using 2.0 on Freebsd 7.2. Squid as transparent. I will install a newer version from scratch. I think, several things are not right, because I installed a Version from early and only updated. Maybe there sometimes things went wrong during the Updates. So Updating via Webinterface doesn't work still here. Only via console. I will tell, if its gone after a new Install. I'm not sure, what packages work stable in 2.0 alpha-alpha. Maybe good idea waite 2.0 Beta ?

    Heh and thanks for the links. What we are trying to do is monitor WAN to LAN. Kinda like a reverse lightsquid in order to see what websites that we are host consume the most bandwitdh. We are using bandwithD but that only shows the traffic by IP adress and not by virtualhost, unfortunately, darkstat shows even less details :(
