    @pulsartiger 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 : [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 am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    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.

    Great..some of the things you might see in the logs sometimes is "can't send header or body to browser and also server number low spawning new..You can still increase the min/max servernumber in havp.inc…......I guess a still a WIP, but even with that it still works everytime.

    You're asking about the configuration of a program that has it's own web site, documentation and mailing lists - have you considered looking there?  Heck, even Google finds a number of relevant pages ;) Once you know what settings need to be made, you should be able to look at the WebGUI and identify whether or not it's possible to do only via the GUI.

    @jamesdean: Thanx for the heads up. Snort.org changed there md5 format to day to go along with there nice new website. From this > c2844479ed68cc0f13ab61f69e35bc7a To this > MD5 (snortrules-snapshot-2.8.tar.gz) = c2844479ed68cc0f13ab61f69e35bc7a Going have to code a fix. Man Snort Package is killing me this week. If they change it back after I code a fix, Im going on a vacation ASAP. james So code it to handle both ways  ;D If the line starts with MD5, split and grab the hash appropriately, otherwise, take the hash as-is.

    Its in your squid.inc that modifies the pf rules. You can edit your squid.inc in /usr/local/pkg/squid.inc and comment: $rules .= "#pass in quick on $iface proto tcp from any to !($iface) port 80 flags S/SA keep state\n"; $rules .= "#pass in quick on $iface proto tcp from any to !($iface) port $port flags S/SA keep state\n"; to show your current pf rules pfctl -sr

    freebsd default is 8192, but pfsense default is 0 if you comment that and reboot. sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters That will show your current value which is default unless its being specified in /etc/sysctl.conf performance also increase if set in /etc/sysctl.conf according to http://fasterdata.es.net/TCP-tuning/FreeBSD.html net.inet.tcp.inflight.enable=0 net.inet.tcp.hostcache.expire=1

    For what information LCDProc can display, try reading the LCDProc site. I'd also suggest you try that Search function.  It would have found you this thread and probably others.

    This was changed in the base system because it wouldn't work through reverse proxies with absolute paths, and there are people who manage multiple devices that way. I don't know there is a good solution aside from breaking that ability again.

    I think apaillard wants more than squid access.log. He wants go get a log file with Login name of the captive portal, hour of connexion, mac adress + Ip and all visited URLS… right now, this is not possible easily from Pfsense. You have to enable a classic syslog to log all systems events (DHCP, Captive portal, MACs etc...) to a remote system AND you have to store & rotate the Access.log from squid. The best way to rotate it is by using the GUI in pfsense, there is a checkbox to rotate, and a value to enter (365 for a year). Then, Pfsense will rotate your logs in the Pfsense's filesystem. What you have to do next, is transfering this file, access.log (in fact access.0.log, because access.log is always in use) to your remote server, either by using FTP or SCP ; script this in a file, then use CRON (it's available in Pfsense's package, as well as a GUI for CRON) to run your FTP/SCP script every day or every week, depending on how you rotate. By the way, you have to enable a special command in squid to get proper timestamp in your access.log, but by doing this, lightsquid wont work anymore. Then, on one serveur you have system logs on syslog + squid logs on a ftp folder ; you now just have to look for a match between your 2 files, for a precise day ; then you will see what IP has been given at what time, and by looking in the access.log file, you will see what sites this ip has visited.... I don't see how you can do better than that! (but if someone do, let's explain dude!)

    There is a lot of questions about the interaction of 'Default' and 'ACL'. Now 'Default' handles only those customers who do not conform to any 'ACL'. In doing so, 'Default' has its own settings, and each 'ACL' - their own. [client] -> [ SG > ( filter ACL or Default) ] -> [inet] There is an idea to extend the options' Default 'all' ACL ': [client]->[ SG > (the first filter ACL) > (the second filter Default) ] -> [inet] I think it would be more intuitive to use? What opinion?
