    @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 : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-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.

    Re: How to update to the latest Tailscale version? I am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    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.

    pfSense 2.1 wouldn't hit that package server. We deactivated the package site used by 2.1 years ago. It's expected that it would fail at this point. 2.4.x is the only supported line currently.

    @v0id said in Snort as IPS on WAN behind (VDSL-)Router: @bmeeks Have no public internal services, just wanted be protected from attacks and port scan on public IP Read what I posted again. Do you understand that pfSense will, by default, block all external sources from connecting to your firewall? So what good does Snort do in that circumstance? How can it help improve security. If pfSense is already going to block the port scan attempt, what's to be gained by having Snort block it again? If you scan the WAN side of a pfSense firewall from an external host, it will show nothing. No ports open at all. So out of the box a port scan is worthless to an adversary. The only time a port scan matters (and even then, the risk of such an attack is somewhat overblown) is if you have a series of public-facing servers such as web servers, DNS servers, email servers, etc., and there are rules in place on the WAN to allow traffic to those servers. In that case you might want to add an IDS/IPS on the WAN to police traffic before it reaches those kinds of servers. However, in a typical home setup using NAT, you have nothing "visible" to the Internet on the WAN side of your firewall. None of your hosts can be contacted nor connected to unless the internal host initiates the conversation. And in that case, the stateful inspection engine of the firewall will set up a temporary "allow" rule to let the reply traffic come in through the WAN and then on to the internal host that started the conversation. And if you put Snort on the WAN and enable the portscan feature, expect to see quite a number of false positives caused by what is today just normal traffic. The portscan preprocessor is somewhat easily fooled by the way certain applications work today. It will false-positive on some traffic, block the external host, and then you will have grief with your internal clients as the application will likely quit working.

    @Apathia You also want to check the internet speeds from any device you’re seeing performance issues on. Devices that are hardwired into the network should achieve speeds on par with your baseline if other devices on the network aren’t using much bandwidth. On wireless devices, the speeds can be greatly reduced when further away from the wireless router or if there’s interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks, other wireless devices, or appliances that can cause interference (such as microwave ovens, which produce tremendous amounts of noise in the 2.4GHz frequency spectrum while operating).

    I added shortcuts to iperf as well for the next release, so it will have a little service control button in the navigation bar. That should help, too. I found that XML-based packages like iperf were not actually able to setup shortcuts, so there was a bug I had to fix for that to work. It will be in snapshots soon. That can't work for 2.4.4-p3 though, since it requires a fix in the base system.

    @Gertjan said in Avahi 2.0.0_2 Package In pfSense Does Not Allow Access To All Config Options: @alteredstate said in Avahi 2.0.0_2 Package In pfSense Does Not Allow Access To All Config Options: Or is there some other way to prevent those settings from being overwritten? Yep. The next best solution is changing this setting directly into script file that builds the Avahi config file. Keep in mind : this file, and thus your edits, are overwritten when you update the package. Here is that file : /usr/local/pkg/avahi/avahi.inc See line 43 (as of today - version 2.0.0_2 ). Change yes for no and your done. Consider proposing a feature request. Thank you! I will give this a try.
