    Can I use pgblockerng aliases in Haproxy?

    80758505-9bad-4dad-a80b-c159be1045a2-image.png

    If it was a firewall rule, typing pfb would produce a dropdown to select.

    Here it has to be written, but will it work? Is it supported?

    @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.

    @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 should say that unchecking the box STOPS all e-mail from being delivered unless its' on the whitelist. (I'm assuming because the rules aren't re-written it's trying to send it to spamd internally, which isn't on)

    Changing the rules just gets them re-written on reboot obviously so that's no dice either..

    looks like you are binding bgpd on one subnet. here's a bgpd.conf that works with the latest pfsense version. (note that I set the announce on the group level, you can do this on the neighbor level also, also I like to define things even tho they are the default - just for my own sanity)

    AS 12345
    holdtime 60
    listen on 127.0.0.1  #try this to so solve your binding problem
    router-id 111.111.111.111
    network 123.123.123.0/24

    group "upstream" {
            announce self
            announce capabilities yes
            set localpref 90
            softreconfig in yes
            softreconfig out yes
            neighbor 63.169.230.189 {
                    descr "Sprint Upstream"
                    remote-as 1239
                    depend on em1
                    max-prefix 270000
            }

             softreconfig out yes
             neighbor 206.223.143.33 {
                    descr "WV Fiber"
                    remote-as 19151

            }
    }

    Sample filter section:

    Filter Section First deny everything from all

    deny from any

    allow from group upstream

    Filter out Default Route, RFC1918 and other IANA reserved IP blocks

    deny from any prefix 0.0.0.0/0
    deny from any prefix 10.0.0.0/8 prefixlen >= 8

    I was also having problems with the nut package in 1.2.1 RC2 and a APC ES-350 using a usb cable.
    I was able to resolve the issue by running a search and replace on "nut.xml"  and replacing all instances of "newhidups" with "usbhid-ups"

    Hope that helps

    P.S as always it would be a good idea to make a backup of "nut.xml" before you start!

    @GruensFroeschli:

    This is the post for you :)
    http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=293

    I assume from that it's only available as a package in 1.2.1? :-)

    I tried to go to the doc page mentioned in my first post and create an account in order to edit the doc to make it clear that this is only available for 1.2.1 and upwards. However the only option is to log in, not to create an account! Could some kind soul please edit this page to make it clear which version(s) it applies to?

    I have searched the forums several times, thank you.
    I am using the "ac-bnfa"  mode that was the solution in one post ( I have also tried "lowmem" that has worked other types of installation).

    It's weird in that my first install it worked fine.  I had to reinstall on new hardware and it stopped working.
    I have reinstalled half a dozen times with no luck.

    In another post a delay to allow for the interfaces to come up was sugguested.  I have tried turning automatic updates off to provide that delay with no luck.

    Can anyone at least provide a manual method of updating as a work around?

    Well after two days it ran successfully! I have no clue why.  Please ignore post

    snort2c it's not part of snort official package.

    The main site of the project is at http://snort2c.sourceforge.net but I think that the version included in pfsense is a modified one (according to the cvs logs).
