    @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?

    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.

    A package itself has to provide an enable/disable setting, otherwise you'd have to uninstall. As for PPTP+NAT, try 2.0. Those issues should all be resolved there.

    Dont worry about the flow bits. These errors on the other hand needs to be looked at. I need to update snort or the alert map file for the missing this sigs. "Encoded Rule Plugin SID: 17132, GID: 3 not registered properly. Disabling this rule." I am rebuilding snort from the ground up, that's taking all my time, Simply. Im working as fast as I can. James

    @dvserg: And why this is necessary when scanning the flow of traffic? This will reduce the download speed. A good compromise size of 50-500kb. i noticed  many of files downloaded  are above 10MB  i already tackled file of 40MB attached with virus from user download, lucky we have local AV on workstation also but anyway if it could be stooped at firewall that woud be better. HAVP allows you to scan FTP Over HTTP. Is it enabled automatically? Last question i saw that HAVP already in 0.92a version while package version is 0.91 can i upgrade it to that version or there process of update package into 0.92a? Only manually through pkg_delete/pkg_add. So no plan to update HAVP package soon Thanks

    2 jemedia You can test ACL work in transparent mode I'm not sure what this situation correct writen in docs(http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm), because don't has full testing. What you can do for test ACL in transparent mode: Set Default_All to deny on Default page Add ACL with you subnet and set Default_All ad allow APPLY and Browse from you workstation.

    Yes, use squid and ACLs to solve this.  Technically, you could also use squidGuard, although its not necessary.

    Barry, Thanks for posting that. For the confused, what he's shown is how to configure the use of a Windows Group Policy to configure computers in the domain to configure proxy settings for HTTPS traffic.  It is possible/recommended to do this for HTTP traffic as well, although the use of the transparent redirection of outbound HTTP traffic makes this unnecessary.  The caveats of this configuration are that computers which do not connect to the domain do not get these proxy settings and so are able egress the network without filtering as long as they use SSL.  A good way to enforce the use of the proxy settings is to block outbound SSL to the internet which does not originate from the proxy box itself. Again, great post Barry!  Might need to sticky it.

    @wagonza sweet! changing the gateway to .252 I started getting internet access! Awesome. @mhab12 I did change the webgui to https. I started playing with the captive portal and started having issues. We realized that it appears the the captive portal and webgui must be using the same port (either 80 or 443) otherwise it wouldn't work. Since this is our test environment, we just left it on http. We still need to tweak the FW rules but overall i think we are all set. Thank you both for the suggestions on how to get this setup and working. I can't wait to try out the other PFSense functionality. Sijis
