    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.

    @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 was looking at something else in ntopng today and went ahead and tested/committed a fix so that redis now only binds to localhost. Still worked fine for me so I pushed the new version out for everyone.

    Probably not.

    Personally, I would leave the FTP server running and only enable the firewall rule/port forward when it is needed.

    That "error" is harmless, there is likely some other different error happening. Post the full output from the package installation window when it fails.

    That depends on what you mean by "keep this package up to date".

    If you mean keeping the package itself current/updated, there is no way to keep it updated that does not also potentially compromise the integrity of the package set on pfSense. One of several reasons we do not recommend installing packages from other repositories, including FreeBSD's own repositories.

    You can reinstall it by hand when you know an update is available. FreeBSD packages are good about not clobbering your own files/data when uninstalling/updating/installing again.

    If you mean keeping it across pfSense updates, that's even less certain. You will likely have to manually reinstall it after each update.

    This thread was specifically for people who were developing packages previously who needed information on converting existing packages for use on pfSense 2.3 in the new pkg and bootstrap framework. Not for general package creation questions.

    johnpoz we get it, you dont like dnscrypt, so why are you in this thread?

    If someone wants to run dnscrypt on their own kit, its none of your business.

    My setup on my existing router which I plan to migrate to pfsense is sort of like this

    local caching resolver -> forwards uncached requests to my own dnscrypt endpoint of which that resolves out on the internet.

    and yes I know what dnssec is and the mode is nothing to do with dnssec.

    uozewe -I am willing to send something your way for the work, a cli only package is good enough for me, so just the binary, rc script and maybe sample configuration.  I got no issue editing unbound and what not to add forwarder manually.

    Your pkg metadata is very out of date if it's trying to fetch a file that old. Try running "pkg update -f" from a shell prompt and then see if it works.

    It should be pulling version 1.3.13, not 1.3.8.

    I don't see any version of this software available for freebsd. If NUT works you don't need anything other to be installed on firewall.

    Most are there, some are not. snort/suricata are not there. There isn't enough horsepower to run them and I think they wouldn't compile, either.

    Our hands are tied somewhat based on what will and what will not compile on ARM and from the RAM/CPU limits.

    For example: Squid should work, Squid+ClamAV would not be viable.

    @PiBa:

    Look under the 'actions' to configure 'what' to do if a acl is matched. There are only a very few acl's that have extra options under the + button.

    Thanks for the hint. I didn't found any action for url rewrite, so I guess I have to write a custom action. But I didn't find any working custom action to to this. I think I would have to use a "http-request set-path" action, but I didn't find any working examples for my rewrite.

    Could you please provide an example for a custom action that simply rewrites the url path from /MyPath to /?

    Edit: I found a working action. I've added this to the backend:
    reqrep ^([^\ ])\ /MyPath/(.) \1\ /\2
