    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.

    I put the card in my PBX in a Flash box for the time being. I got the card real cheap off of eBay so at least now I know it works. I'll just be patient and keep and eye out here for the drivers to become available.

    "Incorrect superblock" means that the hard disk is not partitioned/formatted properly for use with pfSense.
    You'll need to partition it (e.g. using the pfSense installer or a FreeBSD computer) and then try mounting it again.

    I wanted this too but not limited to one list (dshield, bluetack).  But the ability to add firewall dynamic pfilter tables hasn't been added yet.  This like the bogon rule would just be a hard coded static rule.    The "infrastructure" was supposed to be changes to use tables maybe ver 2.0 but that  was way back in ticket 1057 08/2006.  Ticket 185 even describes this same thing.  But its response was let squid do it.
    If it isn't wanted.  I had a outline on the modules needed to download a url to a file (schedules, decompress, conversion, cronjobs)  and add the fire wall rule.  But this is only possible if adding like the bogon rule. or some significant firewall rule module changes.

    Strange how the somethings are difficult to include in the scope of the firewall/router (WAP, UPNP) but appliances seem to be hot now.

    I've never used 'dhis.' However I have experienced some of what you are going through when I built the FreeSWITCH package for pfSense.

    By default FreeSWITCH binds to the WAN IP.  I've also tried connecting to it un-successfully on 127.0.0.1. I did however connect to it on the WAN or the LAN.

    @JoP:

    "dhid: failed to open incoming udp socket on port 58800"

    By default on the LAN interface every port is open. But just for a test you might try a different port like 5880 or something.

    @JoP:

    (or am I violating the pfSense platform by doing this in the first place?)

    No violation.

    @JoP:

    Of course, the best solution would be if the DHID came as a pfSense-package or added under the dynDNS menu

    If you want to make a pfSense package out of it when you have it working you are free to do so.

    At this time the standard embedded install does not have packages. Snort is a package for the full install. I have heard some people have put the fill install on their compact flash cards. You might search the forum for doing that.

    okey.
    i'm happy about this solution.

    but, i have figured the acl, the time, the destination…but still i cant work it out.

    1. if i turn on the squid, do the firewall rules work?
    what should i do with the firewall rules?
    should i deny all or allow all in LAN and WAN?

    2. in squid guard, what should i do with the default rules? should i deny all or allow all?
    i've made a rules for allowing the acl to the specified destination.

    i've tried to do this, but still the allowing rules seems depend on firewall rules...
    strange but true...

    Hello!

    I integrated squidGuard + VideoCache using zapchain script from AddZapper.

    My installation uses a separate FreeBSD box to my pfSense and I documented it at http://www.bellera.cat/josep/videocache

    Perhaps it could help (for caching youtube videos and similar) if somebody want to try it in a pfSense box.

    Regards,

    Josep Pujadas
