    hey forum. maybe someone can help me with pfBlocker. I have this nice overview on pfsense mainpage but it logs nothing. [image: 1754330105763-overview.png] I found a related thread that never got resolved however https://forum.netgate.com/topic/175045/pfblockerng-not-logging-everything Is this normal behaviour? I am using the default out of the box settings here. When doing a nslookup of a blocked domain I seem to be getting the correct response. nslookup c.bing.com Server: 127.0.0.53 Address: 127.0.0.53#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: c.bing.com Address: 10.10.10.1 But I don't see anything logged in the main tab. Do I need to change something in this setting here: Global Logging/Blocking Mode By default it is set to "No Global Mode" [image: 1754330032261-stats.png] Under alerts I see my nslookups but it only shows "unknown" and not the actual website. I also expect more than just this to show up here when browsing the web. What do i need to change to get this to resolve properly? I have searched already and couldn't find a good answer. I am using Unbound btw. and this under general setup: [image: 1754330288353-dns-settings.png]

    @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.

    @Gertjan said in can I install a FreeBSD 14 pkg on a FreeBSD 15 pfSense?: If the package contains binaries : forget it. The ABI is different. It's not a hard and fast rule like that. It depends upon what the binary is, what dependencies it has, and how everything was compiled. I am currently running a binary package, which was built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE, on pfSense 25.07 (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT) without issue.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    Probably not, because in a firewall there's little point in being able to listen to music ;)

    I'm at work so cant talk much. Yes, after every reboot snort.conf get remade. You will have to add your changes to snort.inc to make your changes permanent. Good news, if your seeing that attack you do not need to recompile prepocessor. James

    Thanks, James, for working on this. Now another question: If we enable Barnyard2, do we have to manually download Barnyard2 or is there a package already available for pfSense? I went to http://www.securixlive.com/barnyard2/docs/manual.php to read up on how Barnyard2 works but I'm going to have to experiment with it and don't know where to start.

    That is what I did, I cleared out the squid logs, added the fine tuning statements, reinstalled squid 2.6 package and lightsquid.  I verified the processes, cpu load, adjusted the squid settings, rebooted the firewall and now I am monitoring (top & tail -f /var/squid/log/access.log)  looks like all is well.  I am constanting learning, reading up on the squid's website about the different log statements and so forth.  So far all looks good.  I realized that after I make any changes to squid using pfsense gui, I get another pinger process.  I now know to "kill" those additional processes using "kill process#" within top.  Thanks again to everyone.

    @SupportIT: Hey, i already tried the searching for this issue but have not found any answers. Squid Proxy Version: 2.6.21_08 Auth Method : LDAP LDAP Ver : 3 Auth Server: xxx.xxx.xx.xx Auth Server Port: Blank LDAP Server user DN: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=local LDAP password: admin password LDAP base Domain: DC=mydomain, DC=local LDAP search Filter: sAMAccountName=%s I would like to let the Squid Authenticate with my LDAP (Win2003) it prompts to enter a User and a Password but gets no further. Any reason why this setup would not work? Any one any ideas? Good morning, I set the authentication of the way you are explaining, but does not work. The login screen appears but is repeated three times and gives error of access to the cache. Until posted in Portuguese: I set the authentication of the way you are explaining, but does not work.

    I think the heuristics  feature in Dan's guardian has helped, it has blocked sites that may not have normally been blocked using key words etc.  I thought I saw something stating that you could use keywords with pfsense and squid guard that would block sites based on those keywords. I think that only blocks them if they are in the URL and not if they are within the site itself. Is this correct? I don't know how much I would miss the heuristics since I have never used squidguard.

    Hi james, From my tests last night, it still was blocking hosts on the white list tab. I tried your suggestions and it still did block them. What do you need from me so that we can troubleshoot this problem effectively? The address range goes into the /var/db/whitelist file. One thing I noticed was that snort also automatically adds the local networks of the interfaces (/24s). This was kind of weird since I think this was the previous configuration that I had and it's still loading them even if what's left in the white list tab is the /16 and the /26 networks. Does snort have some sort of storage area for previous configuration and loads configuration from this file? Just thought this might help but I guess this is another story. sicnarf = francis :)
