    @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Install a pfSense with its WAN into an existing network. Default, the pfSense WAN uses DHCP, so it's "plug and play". So you mean build a new computer with pfsense again? My pfsense is already part of an existing network since I run double-nat. I have only my ISP network to test from. Could a managed switch be the culprit somehow? @Gertjan said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: Use the pfSense console access to analyze logs. Don't I have to connect a device to access pfsense or how would I do that?

    @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.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    Not sure how to do this with acls, but you can copy squid.conf file and run a second daemon on other port. Or install a virtual machine with squid for vlan 5.

    Does anyone have any idea about this?  This seems to be an important concept of Snort that I'd like to learn.  Once again, for all enabled rules, some only alert, while other alert and block.  What determines blocking?

    Because relayd does not support udp in general, but does support DNS. From the relayd.conf man page: The protocol directive is available for a number of different application     layer protocols.  There is no generic handler for UDP-based protocols     because it is a stateless datagram-based protocol which has to look into     the application layer protocol to find any possible state information. And then: dns protocol             (UDP) Domain Name System (DNS) protocol.  The requested IDs in             the DNS header will be used to match the state.  relayd(8)             replaces these IDs with random values to compensate for             predictable values generated by some hosts. http protocol             Handle the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP, or "HTTPS" if             encapsulated in an SSL tunnel). [tcp] protocol             Generic handler for TCP-based protocols.  This is the default.

    Hi Marcelloc, Thanks for your answer, but I did exactly that. I have serveral other suppressions and they work properly; they don't show up in the alert list and they don't get blocked… With this one they don't show up in the alert list, but they get blocked(?)

    Squidguard has a gui option for it. Without squidguard, include file extension/mime types custom acls in squid gui. To find an acl that exclude some file types, just Google for squid +acl +file + extension

    Ok that seems to have fixed it, now it listens on both lan and loop when both selected in the gui Thanks! But I did not see it download the actual package .tbz file – guess I could completely uninstall it and then check with pkg_info to see if unbound its gets removed and if it then download loads it. But since it working and on current version I think will leave it until 1.4.15 comes out to test ;) Thanks again for the fix! But kind of curious still about the out of sync other packages. So 1.4.14 says it needs expat-2.0.1_2, but have _1 installed -- can I force removal and then install _2 -- but could that break git, cuz I use that like once a week when new changes come out.
