    @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.

    Re: How to update to the latest Tailscale version? I am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    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 am taking a guess that this log is of no use. Meanwhile, I have found 4 items from www.smallnetbuilder.com (Build your own utm with pfsense) that are a  walk through of installing pfSense. I am going to rip down my current installation and start over using their articles as guidance. Please close this thread now. Schucks… the glory of being a newbie... Rgds.

    As stated in the docs, you can proxy https and other traffic through squid but you must tell each program about the proxy, because if you tried to transparently proxy https traffic you would get security warnings.

    @jimp: I think that only works for AD, though you can setup WPAD and make people put their browsers on auto detect for proxy settings. Or just tell them "If you want HTTPS, use the proxy, otherwise you're stuck with HTTP" I use WPAD & this is good way - i can redefine proxy settings once for all users.

    @Derek: Yep.  it looks like you should be able to select a category in the drop-down box and then edit the rules from that category, but selecting something new in the drop down box changes nothing. That's not as big an issue for me.  I can still get to the various categories from the other page.  It's the actual rule editing that is messing things up for me.

    Or you can use OpenDNS and not have to use the packages.  Shallalist is ok, but not anything close to comprehensive.

    I think you will need to download the existing config file and manually edit out any instances of bandwidthd , upload the edited config and reboot then install bandwidthd again.

    Hello again! Snort is once again dead… After a reboot, it did not start, so I looked in the system logs and saw this: snort[2015]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_20163_re1/snort.conf(423) Invalid configuration line: /snort_x11.rules May 22 17:01:05 snort[2015]: FATAL ERROR: /usr/local/etc/snort/snort_20163_re1/snort.conf(423) Invalid configuration line: /snort_x11.rules These rules were activated since I installed Snort.  Last time I posted here, they were activated and Snort was running fine (at least seemed to…)  So why now snort dies?

    I checked my setup last night. Make sure you go to the Preprocessors tab and check all of the check boxes there.  If you don't, Snort won't inspect the http traffic, etc.

    Hi, First off i would like to thank you for helping me, i found it easier to disable the pre-processor ( option 3 ) for port scanning. When Snort was installed it never said to read the manual for help nor as far as i am aware gives any links to read a manual although i could be wrong. I dont think its very polite to start off your post the way you did but i am sure you meant well. You carnt say that to someone (in my case ) that never got the option to read the manual. Finally, with option 3 all i had to do was to uncheck "Enable Portscan Detection" - Detects various types of portscans and portsweeps. ?? That's all i did, saved it and then restarted the snort interfaces

    Hey Jimp, Yeah, I saw those. Apparently you have to set up the config part for County Block each time you upgrade in 2.0. I have corresponded with the guy who wrote it on this forum and I don't think there will be any issues. At least I hope not! I'm glad to hear you think that Country Block would be worse because I'm fairly certain that it will work fine. I can get around Linux and FreeBSD to a degree, but I'm not anywhere close to you guys. So I don't want to dig a hole I can't get out of! Thank you!

    It must be something like that, but not sure why all are not impacted. I have two OpenVPN tunnels from my house in Atlanta to some servers north of the city, each going to a separate LAN interface on that pfSense, might that be the culprit? That network has two subnets for PCI Compliance (Internet facing servers separated from internal stations and not allowed to talk to the internal nodes).
