    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.

    Hi,

    Yep , you're right, /usr/local/etc/raddb/mods-available/rest exists, so, when symlinking it it shoudl work ..... if the needed lib existed in the pfSense FreeRadius package.
    Or, it doesn't.

    What about checking the main FreeBSD 11.3 (4 ?) package collection ? The lib comes from there, "as is".

    Alright.

    Second never mind.

    Turns out it works with both NUT and apcupsd.

    Looks like I just plugged the UPS cable into an usupported USB3 port. When I moved it to one of the USB2 ports, everything seems to be working again.

    Unless you have a load of packages it should pass more than that, especially if you've replaced the CPU.
    But this is not the right thread for that discussion, better to open a new thread in Hardware or General.

    @cmcqueen said in Finding pfSense on WAN, using Zeroconf:

    I access the pfSense web config via its WAN interface (on my LAN

    Not a good test test set up.
    You should bring a collection of devices, if not all of them, - your "test environment" - and hook them all up to a LAN on pfSense. Then test that LAN segment - and pfSense. You'll be having a router-after-router setup which is for outgoing (== Internet) traffic completely transparent.

    Making WAN accessible is not part of real set up.
    The exception might be : testing a NAT rule (while IPv4 lasts).

    "Zeroconf" (whatever it actually is) needs ports to be open and/or redirected to some LAN (pfSense) based device with a running service that implements Zeroconf. That will normally never be the case as you do not want the Internet to "Zeroconf" your installation.

    Keep in mind that pfSense is a firewall and router : nothing from a WAN perspective can be seen. Shut down the firewall part, define routes on your main LAN's router (the one that hands out a WAN IP to pfSense) and set up pfSEnse as a basic router.

    @cmcqueen said in Finding pfSense on WAN, using Zeroconf:

    how can I find the pfSense address?

    If the initial LAN works well, the DHCP (client) request made by pfSense to the upstream ISP router registers it's DNS name 'pfsense' into the upstream LAN DNS (your ISP router). So, as soon as it is powered on, you could use it's name :

    cb2465ae-5965-4e8c-9f83-e2045b3c61a7-image.png

    Typically, when you type

    ping pfsense

    on a PC on the ISP LAn, it (the ISP router) would resolve 'pfsense' to pfSense's IP first, and then starts to ping to this IP.
    But nothing will happen ... no reply.
    You have to add a firewall rule on the pfSense WAN interface so it can actually receive these ICMP requests - and thus reply.

    the points in setting up a separate server:
    -it's not a massive security risk
    -it's faster, safer & easier to setup a new VM, then it is to fuck with your only way out to the internet
