    @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 clearing my skies. I am cross referencing the squid log and CP log with script running on another linux box. User names are inserted to the un field on the squid log and they are parsed with lightsquid. Should be working until I complete the scripts.

    Ahh, ok, so it's sort of still alive. I noticed that Freeswitch was marked with a ? on the 2.0 compatibility list, and I guess fusionpbx is another? I'm still considering switchin to 2.0, but I think I want to get an ALIX appliance with a HD first, so I can make a seperate install with that, before completely erasing the old 1.2.3 Thanks for the input!

    Thanks for your input, Rob. Whitelisting is not really relevant when the remote user is logging in from a range of locations. Actually, it's not really meaningful even when they are coming in from a single location in many cases - our chief developer uses an internet connection with dynamic IP from one of the biggest ISPs in this country - I've had to whitelist their entire IP range and, in the process, told SNORT to ignore probably thirty percent or more of the UK internet users! I also spent a lot of time turning off rules - but there's a lot of them that trigger from time to time. I described them as "false positives" which may not be strictly true - I guess the point is that a lot of remote users coming into the network over VPNs are doing so from public ISPs and quite a lot of the attacks I'm seeing are probably genuine. We are a commercial organisation hosting public facing web sites behind this firewall and it's harmful to business to block incoming traffic unnecessarily. How does pfSense block traffic from IP addresses identified by SNORT? Does it generate hidden firewall rules to block the offending IP addresses? If that is the case, could we set it up so that the generated block rules were inserted at an identifiable point in the rule list? That way, I could simply insert exception rules above that point which would always override the internally generated blocks and, thus, permit specific protocols or destinations irrespective of the SNORT decisions. This would actually be better than putting in some sort of VPN exception - it would also allow me, for example, to add further exceptions to allow access to my web sites even while stopping port scans and attempts to bust into the RDP ports on my servers!

    @Cry: My understanding is that MagicJack is an entire service, you can't just go switching the software you run. I'd suggest that going down the FreeSwitch route should only be done after you read up on FreeSwitch. MJ is actually uses the standard SIP protocol.  As long as you can get at your credentials, you can use any SIP application in place of the MJ dongle.  Some have used an ATA instead. http://www.magicjacksupport.com/any-new-way-to-get-sip-info-t8145.html

    That will not work, you will break many things. You should not use your firewall for things like that, but if you must, 2.0 uses PHP5. And if you're going to be altering the firewall and running insecure services on it, you may as well be using the 2.0 RC version because it will in no way be considered stable at that point.

    On my system Bandwidthd shows more traffic than the rrd graph and I have a filter to keep it from counting lan traffic.  "ip and not ((src net 192.168.0.0/16) and (dst net 192.168.0.0/16))"  I think this will cover all the 192.168 subnets as I have a static route to another lan on the opt1 interface with servers on both lans.

    Hello, This is really late, but I just began using pfSense and ran into this same problem. In my searching for the answer I have found your post with no answer I too was struggling with exactly what you are/were experiencing. Here is a solution I figured out after much messing around for the filter search string type in "uid=%s" the rest of what you have should be OK

    @stuen93: Do you have any IP ranges white listed? You also set how long the IP stays blocked for so if the alert was generated longer ago then the block time the IP will be removed from the block list. No i do not have anything white listed .
