    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.

    Only by manually removing the thing from /cf/conf/config.xml I'm afraid. (Sorry, this install code caching is super retarded.)

    Hi Mike,

    Ok so i suppose lastchk result on stats page also shows something similar to connection closed or something..?

    Together with the basic check you might try and configure something like this in the advanced settings:

    option tcp-check tcp-check expect string 220

    Im not sure if that will work.. Maybe you could try a few variations with it.. See the docs here:
    http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/snapshot/configuration-1.6.html#4.2-tcp-check%20expect

    Scissorfish:  Thank you very much - I tried the settings as you suggested and they worked - thanks a lot!

    So, just out of curiosity I re-tried these with just the views (which I had not previously needed to define myself in the simple-configuration I had under Linux - so this part was foreign to me).  Changing just the Views entry seems to have been the critical piece.  I then proceeded to make the other changes you recommended as well, but it seems the key part here was to define the view and associate it to the zones.  I did already have a reverse zone defined but didn't list that as I didn't want to give extraneous info.

    Again - Thank you very much for your help!

    @matthewmdn:

    I can start a new thread if needed but I am trying to do the same thing. I would like to know how to see if netflow data is being sent. Where in pfSense could I verify this.

    Background:
    I have followed the above settings in this thread, but prtg is saying "No data since startup"

    I am running pfsense in an AWS VPC, and I am guessing the data isn't making it to prtg, so I just want to start at the source and see if I can find where it's getting stopped up.

    I ended up giving up, I can get all my cisco routers and watchguard firewalls to work well with PRTG netflow, just pfsense doesn't.

    I contacted PRTG support but they can't help as pfsense is exporting wrong data to PRTG.

    pretty much helpless!

    Hi treuss,

    Then im afraid i have to ask the same questions again:
    -Is haproxy process still running?
    -Stats page works?
    -If its not running that could cause the dashboard error..

    Try to save a setting in the package and 'apply'. That might tell if there is a configuration issue.

    p.s. If you have configured a carp interface to monitor it will shutdown haproxy on the backup node. Might explain the error there..

    I fixed this by editing the apache_mod_security.template file.  It was missing IDs for the SecRules.  I have attached mine here so that anyone can use it.  You can replace yours, it is in:

    /usr/local/pkg

    Remove the '.txt' extension.
