    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    Thank you everyone! I have submitted a proper (I think) patch for both 8* configs now. I'm eagerly waiting to see if the nightly build will pick it up if approved, like jimp suggested. That should complete the framework I had in mind. I assume dropping additional files into a directory can be accomplished as so (like the widescreen package): <additional_files_needed><prefix>/usr/local/pkg/widescreen/</prefix> <chmod>644</chmod> http://www.pfsense.org/packages/config/widescreen/bin/all.css_</additional_files_needed> EDIT: How do I issue a pull request for new files uploaded to my repository (via Git gui??) The files I'm talking about are here: https://github.com/namezero111111/pfsense-packages/tree/master/config/nrpe2

    Thank you for the interesting response. As far as i am aware, squidGuard error page is using a 302 redirect.  Even if i configure the denied error message to be a blank page i have the problem.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty new to snort and just figuring things out. I probably have a lot more research to do. I've done some testing. I have a pfsense box on my home network so I installed snort and set it up on the LAN interface only and I selected the icmp rules. Then from my pc inside the network I pinged google.com. and got the alert in snort below… #  PRI  PROTO DESCRIPTION     CLASS               SRC     SPORT    FLOW   DST       DPORT     SID           Date 7 3 ICMP ICMP Echo Reply Misc activity 74.125.224.134 empty -> 10.11.12.100 empty 1:408:5 02/13-23:41:07 On the setup at work I select the same icmp rules and have snort enabled only on the LAN interface. When I ping google from the LAN I don't see any alert at all in snort. As far as I can tell all settings are identical between the two setups. Both network layouts are the same, MODEM > PFSENSE/SNORT > LAN. Nothing between the modem and pfsense. I reinstalled snort but no go. The setup at work has been running for over a week. There's about 30 workstations and I can go an entire day without seeing any alerts at all being generated from snort on the LAN interface. At home running the same rules and only 2 computers on the LAN I'll get several everyday. I really have no idea what can be different between the setups.

    We've got a couple wiki pages that cover that. Really though you don't want to use packages-8-stable. There is a chance it refers to libraries that do not exist. http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages

    Yep.. that's the most common mistake there. Local users have to have their certs assigned to the user they're associated with. Otherwise it wouldn't know that they are valid users with certs for the VPN.

    Sorry but I don't have problems about gui tool but I have trouble the backend. For test I started to reinstall HAVP package for many times. After the issue I discovered that the settings come back ( proxy type, port, etc.. ) so I decided to clear file system after uninstall but settings come back again so I don't understand this. I don't verify the recirect pf rule after the reinstall. I's a good idea now. Can you tell me the file structure of config saving and config directories about havp package? Why is the reason that after I clear directories and reinstall package the last config is come back? I think I post ANY information not only the frontend but backend.
