    @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.

    Resolved.  I had a static routes in place so that packets would route between the various firewalls (as per 13.4.4 in the guide book)  Once I removed those (coupled with a better understanding of how the agent was communicating with the server and things are now working)

    @DigitalJer: heh, what I've done is configure SquidGaurd to redirect to ext URL, and that URL is: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Blank.gif Not the most elegant…but kinda the same thing! Nice! I've never work with squidguard before, do you use some sort of block list with squidguard?

    It also seems that if you deinstalled squid first then deinstalled squidguard, that issue may occur. Leaving squid last to deinstall seems to work fine.

    @trentdk: Ignoring cdx304, and going with tbaror, I can confirm the Snort package installation error on pfSense 2.0 (nightly dec 28): Yes, and there are already several other threads dedicated to that – with workarounds. The maintainer of that package still needs to fix it.

    When I do an nmap on my IP on the LAN network (without checking any of the three boxes), it sits on the page pkg_edit.php just loading and loading.. with the text "Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-12-27 16:28 CST" outside the right margins of the webdesign. After a while it just stops "loading" nothing. EDIT: Ok finally, it took forever just to do a scan on my machine from the pfSense server.

    Upgrading has caused spamd to stop working but I will post about that in a separate thread. @jimp: You'd have more luck posting a specific thread with that in the topic asking, the maintainer of that package may see it and offer some help. Usually we err on the side of caution when removing packages. Removing them from the list makes it a lot harder for the maintainer to debug problems. Spamd doesn't have a current maintainer according to the package listing. I also get 'current version unknown' so I'm not sure if I have the latest. Reinstalling installs the current one again so I'm 50/50 whether I have the current or not. I hope this next comment is taken as it's entitled and not taken the wrong way. I love pfSense, however the packages, for me, are it's biggest weakness. pfSense isn't really designed for embedded so it's designed for packages to extend it. However, a lot of the packages are simply not maintained, don't work properly, cause problems and that is just from my own personal experience. Documentation is scarce for a lot of the packages too or the documentation that is there is just not adequate. I wouldn't even mind paying a small fee for some packages (such as spamd as when it worked it was fantastic) if they were maintained or worked correctly. I'm not one of these people who take and moan about it when it doesn't work. I wish I could contribute and I would really love to take over spamd but I know enough about it or BSD to be more of a hinderance than a help.
