    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @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.

    @keyser Clarify "it makes sense if the GEOIP DB has that size" are you referencing the asn data as I have shown or the maxmind data? the asn data takes all of 15 seconds to download and process. Not really any "magic" going on there, you can see the mmdb is only a download referenced and the asn.csv.gz is basically just unzipped. I can't comment on the maxmind data specifically because I don't use for my geo location. But I can see what the code should be doing. seeing your actual log file will help determine where your specific spike may be coming from, but if I had to guess from looking at the code and my timing with respect to the asn parts of it I would guess this is most likely to be an issue with the maxmind parts - timing should be in the log. can you change when it runs ? no, not directly, there is no way to do this without changing the code to target a specific time when it creates the cron job in the first place. No you can't change the timing of the cron job and have it stick, it will eventually just go random again. On the other hand, yes, because I changed the code here so it always creates the same "not so random" time.. runnning at same time every day since this code change first became available in the pfblockerNG update for 24.11 that came out months ago, well before 25.07 curious you originally said "noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pfb 3.2.7" were you running the "new" format of asn data before? (would have only been possible if you upgraded from 24.11 with the latest version of pfb installed) you would have entered and ASN key at some point to make it work. did you do that under the prior version and just now with 25.07) it's likely not significant, but then again .... That likely won't help your spike, other than moving it to a different time. I moved it here to a static ("not so random") time for other reasons, nothing to do with system load at the time.. Log files would be helpful. (just the snippet that applies to this time, from extras, error and pfblockerng logs there may be nothing in error or pfblockerng related to the time it is running. .

    @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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    Strangely enough, checking the system 4 days later, I now see that Wireguard service is reported running! The last thing I did 4 days ago was to disable Wireguard service monitoring by the Service Watchdog. Anyway, even when it was reported stopped at first, 4 days ago, the tunnels were working flawlessly. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

    Using NUT on pfSense you have a couple of options: Directly monitor the UPS via SNMP The NUT client can talk to a remove apcupsd server. Given a choice, I would choose option 1 as this works regardless of whether the Windows system is functioning or not. I can't speak to apcupsd on pfSense.

    " a field for HTTP options to be injected into the header. " No as it states its where you put in options to passthru to the frontend.. This common theme on all packages and or services in pfsense.  There are gui settings for the obvious stuff… but more advanced features can be put into a custom box that are added to the conf file, etc. Look fired up a frontend - put your option in the box, check out the cfg file..  See attached pic you can also put that option in global or default section, etc. [image: frontendoptions.png] [image: frontendoptions.png_thumb]

    Hi BBcan177, Questions:- (1) Will it work on Suricata? (2) I have the passlist in place. Will the script wipe the passlist? If so, I want the passlist + the script run together. Is it possible?? (3) if multiple hostnames, how can I do it? If you use the pfctl -t xxxx -T delete, it just delete the IP from the block list. eventually, the ip will be blocked again. It is the other way around. How can I update the passlist ip using script? @BBcan177: I didn't test it, but try this in an sh script Create new script vi myip **#!/bin/sh MyIp="$(host -4 my.hostname.com | grep -oEw -e "[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}/[0-9]{1,2}" -e "[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}")" pfctl -t snort2c -T delete $MyIp** (Save and exit) :wq (make script executable) chmod +x myip

    @msrachelchen: I ended up using Suricata instead. Though with cpu pinning, the load is still pretty intense atm Looking pretty juicy, 19.82 MB/s. Though most of the “CPU usage” went to NIC queues State Table: 47% (3987752/8500000) Load average: 9.39, 9.96, 9.60 CPU usage: 68% Nothing is running except Unbound, pfblockerng (DNSBL), IPSec and Suricata. I haven’t started HAProxy and TC yet… Suricata is multi-threaded whereas the current Snort release is still single-threaded.  That can help a little under high loading.  The new 3.x BETA versions of Snort are multi-threaded.  Once the 3.x tree goes to RELEASE, it will get pulled into pfSense.

    Unfortunately, bandwidthd is no longer maintained, its last update was more than 10 years ago. I have made the modification myself to the bandwidthd source code and display the hostname next to the IP address, in addition, I also updated the maximum IP listed in the HTML from 20 to 50. 20 IPs were probably a lot back in 2005, but these days 50s are probably the norm. If you are comfortable with compiling c code, I can attach my changes here.

    Hi, Your lucky. The answer is simple. You can't do that. pfSense is using itself PHP for the GUI. There are probably many lines in the scripts of the GUI that wouldn't be compatible with PHP 7.2. Btw : this is like asking how to install core Windows 10 files on a Windows 8 PC. Experts can't (and won't ask the question).

    The only downside of not having a backup MX is having to wait hours (4+) for retries to come through, or longer if it's a prolonged outage. It's not the end of the world, though, messages will be resent. If you botch the backup MX config then it could be worse. You could accidentally reject mail and never receive it, or let even more spam through on a continuing basis. The best backup MX is an exact duplicate of your primary mail server hosted off-site.

    I don't know the answer definitively, but you can install it and try it out.  I would set it up in IDS (non-blocking) mode first and let it run a week or two in order to get a feel for the kinds of alerts generated.  Expect to see quite a bit of alerting related to the HTTP_INSPECT preprocessor.  You can search the IDS/IPS sub-forum here in Packages to find threads about configuring Snort.

    @Dezireman25: Hi All! Just want to ask for your help. I install 2.4.2 pfsense and add squid, squidguard and lightsquid packages. I followed some instructions in youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2gy1bLHm5o) and do some research but LAN did not pass through my squidguard. Squid and squidguard services are running. When i check using proxy test my internet users are not going through squidguard. please help TIA 1st :- You need to allow your LAN Subnet in squid:- Squid  Proxy Server  > ACLs >  Allowed Subnets (put your LAN subnet here) 2nd :- in squidguard by default everything is blocked , you need to allow some list:- SquidGuard Proxy Server > Common ACL  > target Rules List >Target Categories > (default is deny at bottom , allow specific list as required)

    I do the question before because i do not want to reset the data and could be other problem. Disabling and resetting and/or disable graphing and maybe not needed to delete and reinstall the package seams solve the problem. Maybe a broken déjà vu but i thin i have tried this before, months ago. Anyway thanks for the feedback and solutions, i should know this. I will wait couple of hours and put a solved on the topic if this stay good.
