    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.

    Basically, you cant..

    What you 'might' be able to do is copy a 'large part' of the config file in the advanced textbox on the settings tab, like defaults/frontends/backends, only the global section will need some more careful 'merging' of package settings and those of your own..

    @Asadsarwar said in Installed packages not working nor installing:

    As per the pfsense "The system is on latest version".

    You wrote "2.4.4" and that's in your screen cap but the latest is 2.4.5. Probably the cleanest thing at this point is to install again, upgrade to 2.4.5 and then restore your config from backup.

    Ahhh yes, I think you've found the issue! My DNS Forwarder is listening on port 5353 (I can't remember why - I set it up a few years ago). I'll look at fixing this up and then hopefully Avahi will work :)

    Thanks again

    Add your domain name to Avahi>Advanced Settings>Override Domain to reduce the wait time. The default Override domain name used for publishing mdns records is "local", which is most likely not the domain name in use.

    @Gertjan:
    Thanks very much for your help! Somehow I had irrationally wanted to stay away from using tap. Maybe I had read something about issues with tap versus using tun. However, with tap it works. Does exactly what I want it to do.

    When I have time, I will do a write-up of how to.

    @rio236 said in Bind DNS server refused to transfer zone.:

    ls example.net

    Just to be sure ;
    Is 'ls' here some command line command used by some kind of bind (named / rndc) command line interface ?
    Never saw that before. I'm using bind a lot myself, although not the pfSense package.

    But if want to 'pull' the entire zone, then yes, at least the IP of the device you are using should be set up as a slave or device that is authorised to load the entire zone.

    Aaaah, sigh of releaf it's as simple as that. I tried the same thing but made a mistake with the file location. The path in the named.conf file pointed to /etc/namedb/named.root so I created the file there and forgot about the /cf directory 🤦

    Minor correction: The URL in step 3 is http://www.internic.net/zones/named.root (with a / between net and zones, not a .)

    Thank you very much for the fix anyway. It works perfectly. I hope they automate this step again in an upcoming release.
