    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.
    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 :

    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.

    @jahonix:

    Since you don't give any kind of information about your system and how far you have tested this it is really hard to help.

    This is similar to: I can't use the trunk of my car. Can you help me? Please!

    I have a second post running with lot's of info of my setup, but didn't have any response on that. I have a pfsense running in test, bridge mode, pinging worked etc. see:
    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,13677.0.html

    Installed pfsense, did no reboot since then. So i guess installing packages only starts working AFTER you installed the system AND rebooted. Makes sense because before the installation it's like a live cd.

    So if any others have this problem, maybe it's the same thing that got me :-)

    thx for the help though.

    I'm the developer of the FreeSWITCH package I have 7 systems that I personally manage at the moment many of them SOHO. I've also helped many people get FreeSWITCH running from their pfSense machines.

    The provider I use is flowroute.com. I like them because you sign up, make a payment and pick a DID and you can use it within minutes and they are stable. Its a per minute provider but also has a plan for unlimited inbound. They allow as many lines as your bandwidth allows at 1 cent a minute per call. You can even send them your own caller id info.

    I use a Linksys SPA942. Which is a great phone for the price. It even supports voip encryption TLS and SRTP. Best place I have seen to get the SPA942 is http://www.ipphone-warehouse.com/. I've also used adapters like the Linksys pap2t which can convert voip extensions work with standard phones like a cordless phone. Lately been interested in trying a something other than the PAP2T because it doesn't support the ILBC codec which is very compressed and saves bandwidth looking at the Grandstream HandyTone HT-286 which does support ILBC. I haven't tried it yet but looks promising.

    I would like a new snom820 even more but it is triple the price and unfortunately not yet in my budget.

    The FreeSWITCH package on pfSense is relatively new but already has many advanced features such as an auto attendant. Example: Thank you for calling if you know your parties extension you can dial it at any time… " You can make your own recordings and set up as many options as you want. What many people don't know is that most auto dialers from call centers cant get past the auto attendant. This means all your sales calls disappear unless the call was hand dialed by a real person. Goodbye annoying sales calls.

    There are many of benefits for home or office. Give it a try! The documentation is available at: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeSWITCH

    I agree… Manage Engine's Netflow Analyzer Pro is the best... The free trial of one interface convinced the "powers that be" we needed this package as expensive as it is! The PDF reports are great, is a must for anyone who "multi-homes" it has nbar support, monitors your AS #... It is a solid product, we ran it on a 800Mhz Celeron Windows box for a week while we tested it, not the best performance, but it worked good enough til purchase! Its netflow aspect blows intermappers netflow collector out of the water!

    There are several cheap / free netflow collectors, just google it, but Manage Engine makes great stuff... We are even able to use a linksys running dd-wrt and export flows to my collector... I want to be able to use an embedded box, ALIX, and run pfflowd on it, creating a cheap and more robust netflow exported router!

    Any else managed to pull off pfflowd on an embedded image install!?!? I have soo many ALIX boards deployed with pfsense already... it would be soo great to export to my netflow analyzer!

    It pings the WAN gateway but I can't remember how I know that - so I might be wrong.

    Google (cough, cough) for "pfsense rrd quality" points me to this thread as the first result:

    the reason i would like opensbc in pfsense compared to freeswitch is bcoz opensbc supports voip encryption and thats of concern to me as my isp blocks voip and opensbc xor encryption bypasses it.
    the bounty for opensbc was posted by me only but no1 completed it.

    The change must be made to loader.conf in 1.2.2_RELEASE as well.  I was suffering from the exceptionally slow transfers until I commented out the #kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0"

    @Devs
    What are the advantages of this argument?  Why was this changed temporarily in the 1.2/FreeBSD 6.3 Release?  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Perhaps someone could also commit a change to the Squid packages so that the loader.conf gets updated upon package installation.
