  You have several choices depending on budget but none of them will be on your pfsense. Your options will be Replace pfsense with another vendor that can do content filtering Use another service while keeping pfsense in line .

  @kabeda If memory serves, that old version of ntopng did not run as user ntopng, but as user nobody. There are lots of problems in that old version. Anyway, check the ownership and permissions of /var/db/ntopng and make sure it matches the user that ntopng runs as. You may need to set ownership of the entire hierarchy. Example: /usr/sbin/chown -R nobody:nobody /var/db/ntopng However, the better choice would be to upgrade to a more recent version.

  @Gertjan said in is something wrong with pfBlockerNG?: "is something wrong with my pfBlockerNG?". First off, thanks for the detail reply. After my post, I "changed" DNSBL -> DNSBL mode from "unbound python mode" to "unbound mode" and so far i have no issues. I understand what you are saying & hinting "maybe something is wrong with my settings" - my response is this: Everything was working before i upgraded the pfsense software to " 25.07.1-RELEASE (arm64)" -- Before the update my DNSBL Mode was set as "unbound python mode" and everything worked. Here is my "inference" - something broke in pfBlockerNG after the upgrade and I cannot 100% point to what that setting (my) is? I will observe for some days how this change in DNSBL mode works out and report the findings.

  @fjmp24 said in Notification: UPS ups battery is low: If I remove ignorelb directive, my UPS shuts down after 16 seconds This means your UPS is signaling a low battery. Either your battery is bad, or your UPS is bad. Most likely battery, but you never know. I suggest reaching out to Eaton support.

  I am using the DNS-Update method I have to use a DNS-Sleep of 5 minutes to let the letsencrypt txt dns record update propagate. During this 5 minutes the acme-webgui times out. when the acme-webgui times out the Action list is NOT executed. How can I solve this ? Would it maybe be an idea to let the acme.sh script execute the actions in the action list as a post-hook instead of the web-gui? Or maybe add an option to add post-hooks in the webUI ?

  @elvisimprsntr Thank you. I would not be surprised if I ended up with a lengthy solution that works but needs significant improvement. I am using a Netgate 6100 with pfSense+, starting with version 24.x. I had updated Tailscale without trouble per this discussion by using pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-x.y.z.pkg. This worked until pfSense+ version 25.0.07 (FreeBSD 15-CURRENT) and Tailscale upgrade 1.88.3. After several attempts and web searches, I was only able to install that upgrade by using: fetch https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/latest/All/tailscale-1.88.3.pkg, and then IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes pkg-static add -f tailscale-1.88.3.pkg. Then, I could not restart Tailscale, no matter what I tried, including the sequence: service tailscaled stop, tailscale logout, service tailscaled start, and then tailscale up.

  I was on PfSense version 23.xx (don't recall the xx) and was able to start the Wireguard service. I upgraded to the 25.11 beta version and now the Wireguard service will not even start. I am on Wireguard version 2.1, and I see that there are versions that go up to 2.9. How do I upgrade to a later version? The only version in the pfSense updater is 2.1. Thank you
