    @pulsartiger The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat. With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @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.

    Thanks for the response…I agree, I have thought of the parent/child proxy set up - but you are right, bandwidth usage would be very inefficient, so I don't really want to go that right...if there is no way to centralize the config, then we will just keep modifying them all :) Thanks! Q

    There won't be enough room in /var on an ALIX to handle that. The blacklists should probably be downloaded to /root instead so it can work on nanobsd. Though with the amount of data and processing that goes into setting up the blacklists, be aware that it will cause a lot of writes on your CF, potentially shortening its life.

    The mac-to-vendor code is in 2.0 proper now, but I don't know if we'll include that list on the box by default. We use the version of that file that comes with the nmap package, which is generally the latest one seen in FreeBSD's ports tree. As I mentioned in another thread, you can always pull in the most recent version without nmap like so: mkdir -p /usr/local/share/nmap/; fetch -o /usr/local/share/nmap/nmap-mac-prefixes http://nmap.org/svn/nmap-mac-prefixes

    That filter.inc line is a test to see if UPnP's options are set to be enabled. Not sure exactly what FreeRADIUS may have done that would have made that fail though. I have installed and uninstalled FreeRADIUS a few times in the past and didn't have issues. You can edit a config.xml backup, it's just plain text XML, find the section with the <package>…</package> tags for FreeRadius and remove them, and then restore the backup.

    Hi, in the past we talked about caching Kaspersky updates: I tried this: refresh_pattern -i .*kaspersky\.com/.*\.(.*) 1440 100% 1440 reload-into-ims override-expire override-lastmode; refresh_pattern -i .*kaspersky-labs\.com/.*\.(.*) 1440 100% 1440 reload-into-ims override-expire override-lastmode; I think this is working just fine for the "Kaspersky Offline Updater Tool" http://support.kaspersky.com/updater?level=2 Need more testing if it works with the "normal" updater function of the client software. Perhaps someone else will find some time for this. Further I found out, that if we use range_offset_limit -1 squid is still downloading files even if the user has left a website or canceld some download. To avoid this, I am using this: quick_abort_min 0 KB; quick_abort_max 0 KB; quick_abort_pct 100; For windows updates I am using this without any errors in syslog and with success: refresh_pattern -i .*microsoft\.com/.*\.(cab|exe|msi|msp) 129600 100% 129600 reload-into-ims; refresh_pattern -i .*windowsupdate\.com/.*\.(cab|exe|msi|msp) 129600 100% 129600 reload-into-ims; To avoid, that a user is getting still a "Error 404" if a website wasn't available for a short time and then ist up again because of the high time for negative dns I am using this: negative_ttl 5 second; negative_dns_ttl 5 second; I am using this all in squid "Custom options". It would be really nice if someone else could test and verify this or post some other usefull squid options. For me it was hard to find these parameters and so I wnat to share them and get some feedback.

    Hi, I found out, that the first part is nonsense. one times "range_offset_limit -1" is enough. Further I found out, how to cache kaspersky updates: refresh_pattern -i .*kaspersky\.com/.*\.(.*) 1440 100% 1440 reload-into-ims override-expire override-lastmode; refresh_pattern -i .*kaspersky-labs\.com/.*\.(.*) 1440 100% 1440 reload-into-ims override-expire override-lastmode; For me this works - I think.

    Hi you guys , this is my firts post. so a im a new user with pfsense. I am already have havp working with my proxy cache. the issue I have is that when the systems reboots clamd takes a lot for start up. Meanwhile i can not get to internet , i can not get web pages in my browser. After about 8-10 minutes the system start to work normaly and clamd seem to be started. The page setup shows the clamd  down after about 8-10 mins. of restarted. Any ideas what is happening ? I already have configured the havp as parent proxy for squid.

    Its really easy: Install squid, at general settings set "proxy port" to 3125. Squid is set as transparent proxy. Install squidguard and configure it. Now install havp and configure it as "parent for squid", "proxy port" set to 3125. Thats the short story, should work. Try first only squid - squidguard to get that working, then after success install/configure havp. with privoxy i can't help. sorry

    There is no viable way to install a package manually. It may be possible but the procedure is very prone to user error and you'd likely break something in the process. Alternately, you can setup your own local package repository on a computer you have access to and then serve the package files from there: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Creating_Your_Own_Package_Repository

    Yes you have to disable the port scan rule it's triggering, which is the UDP port scan rule IIRC. RTP in volume looks like a UDP port scan. Some manual hacking of the rule to make it less prone to those false positives may suffice. That's more a question for Sourcefire, we don't have any involvement with the rules.

    @NightHawk007: Just remember the lag that this antivirus causes is not worth using it .I used another utm software and there was zero lag and scanned everything going through it with no problems . Every gateway AV causes lag, and weirdness with downloads from the internal clients' perspective as the proxy itself downloads it first and scans it, then sends it to the client.
