    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.

    @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'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, this problem with squidguard still occur with PFsense 2.2.6. The modification for squid3 seems not to be neccessary anymore. Does there exist any ideas to solve this issue? best regards Thomas

    Ok, so I found the solution - if anyone interested: Since Zabbix Agent is running in chroot, smartctl executable has to be linked in. For Zabbix 2.4 64 bit command is: ln /usr/local/sbin/smartctl /usr/pbi/zabbix24-agent-amd64/local/sbin It probably won't survive package reinstall/updates, adding to startup script might help. I used the following user parameters in advanced agent config: UserParameter=system.smartctl[*],smartctl -A $1 | grep $2 | cut -c 88- | cut -f1 -d' ' UserParameter=system.smarthealth[*],smartctl -H $1 | grep result | cut -f2 -d':' | cut -c 2- First one will return value for specified S.M.A.R.T. parameter - I usually monitor temperature. The second one will return one of PASSED/FAILED!/UNKNOWN! so I can set a trigger if value is not PASSED. More can be done to improve things, like discovery of the disks -but for pfSense it is more often than not just /dev/ata0.

    David_W is correct, trying to fix package binaries on 2.2.x currently is a losing proposition. If you need the latest FreeRADIUS right this moment, your best bet is to use pfSense 2.3 either on your firewall or as a second system to run FreeRADIUS (because everyone should be testing 2.3 to make sure it works for their setups, right? :-) 2.3 is quite stable and in many regards, more stable than 2.2.x. The number of bugs is shrinking daily, and the only real major problem area that is a regression is wireless.

    It's been fine - I've been bringing the other sites into the OSPF scope through the day. No issues at all. We have a total of four sites, with a fifth coming in a few weeks; Site 1: Two-node CARP, with three WAN connections (2x fibre, 1x LTE - this site is in an area where one ISP has an effective monopoly so both fibres are with the same ISP) Sites 2, 3 and 4: Single node, two WAN connections Site 5: Two-node CARP, with thee WAN connections (1x WiMax, 1x fibre, 1x LTE - similar single ISP situation, but at least with two different connection methods) I'll post back once site 5 is working, but I don't see any reason why we'd have issues running another CARP node. I've tested CARP failover and failback, and multi-WAN failover and failback at all sites. It all works brilliantly with default timer settings, though I suppose you could reduce the timers if you needed faster OSPF response, probably at the expense of CPU usage/bandwidth.

    @MadCatZA: Depending on the version of PFSense you are using, PostFix does not work with the newer revisions. Waiting for it to be ported to 2.3. Any ideas on the timescales for this? I have a pfSense VM sitting on an ESXi host at the moment that I want to migrate to KVM. I need to take it to 2.2.x in order to have the virtio drivers but the upgrade broke Postfix.

    Check your group mappings in /usr/local/etc/raddb/ldap.attrmap For reference take a look at /usr/pbi/freeradius-amd64/local/share/examples/freeradius/raddb/ldap.attrmap If you're on a 32 bit system alter the above path accordingly. It can be a pain for non-standard stuff like AD

    Hmm, I wasn't able to reproduce that here. It's likely also not an issue on 2.3 due to changes in the package system. If you can replicate it reliably, you might give a 2.3 snapshot a test.

    You can take that one step farther and have pfSense grab all DNS so people who think they are being tricky will, themselves, be tricked: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Redirecting_all_DNS_Requests_to_pfSense Also cuts down on support time for people with unknowingly broken DNS settings…

    Looks like one of your users has an invalid configuration, you'd have to post the users file from /usr/local/etc/raddb/users (or at least the first few lines) for anyone to be able to help. If you have anything in the user custom config options it could be from that, since it complains about line 4 it must be in one of the first couple users.

    @johnpoz: Or you could run the actually current supported version of pfsense.. And current packages, troubleshoot any update issues. Of course I want to use the current versions of pfSense and packages, but what about the required functionality: Proxy + Proxy filter + multi WAN. As far as I know that doesn't work with the updated software. If you can point me to a solution to get that working surely I will forget the old unsupported versions. Thanks.

    Here is my NUT experience: First the Details: PFSense Version 2.2.6 Nut Version 2.1.2 and UPS: APC Back-UPS NS1350 connected via USB. PFSense is 32 bit version running on Intel P4 PC with Intel NIC cards and 1.5 GB Memory. If I set Nut to Generic UPC USB and Auto USB and run the command /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start     I get No upstype set     Driver Failed to Start If I set Nut to APC Back-UPS USB and Auto USB I get:   No matching HID UPS found   Driver failed to start If I set Nut to APC Smart-UPS USB and Auto USB I get:     No matching HID UPS found     Driver failed to start After a week or two of rebooting firewall once a week, Nut will suddenly start upon reboot with the settings left on APC-Smart-UPS USB and Auto. Then after a month or two of it working, after a reboot, Nut will fail to start for a week or two or three. I have more than on one installation with this same configuration, and I have the same problem with each one of them. If someone can come up a with a file to edit or something to fix this issue, it would be great! Thanks Brian
