    @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 found that disabling the 'snort_web-client.rules' #15306 (WEB-CLIENT Portable Executable binary file transfer) worked for me.  Cleared out the blocked and all seems to be working again. Suspect there's another little gremlin in there as well.  Hell of an 'all-inclusive' rule to break Windows Updates  ::)

    for troubleshooting issues with squid, looking at the output from squid using the squid manager info screen to be invaluable.  From the command line you can do something like: #squidclient -p 3127 mgr:info This will show you, among many other tasty squid-related treats, the various amount of time different parts of the squid request took.  If you find DNS resolution taking an obscene amount of time, then your troubleshooting task is already mostly done.

    Those didn't really help.  It turns out that the problem was my browser.  It never completely shut down and therefore was taking up a ton of memory and being unresponsive.

    I'm assuming that you're doing transparent filtering using squid+squidguard.  If this is the case, you're quite limited in your ability to filter.  You can create an alternative filter set with a group of allowed sites you want and allow those before blocking the rest.  Or, if you need to only allow those sites to a handful of users, you'll want to consider using authenticated filtering instead of transparent since then you can filter by user or user group.  It is also possible to filter by requesting IP, so it really depends on your requirements how to attack this problem.  Spend some quality time with the squidGuard documentation and I'm sure you'll find the solution that best fits your scenario.

    There are some small bugs with rate that have been fixed here and there on 2.0. I'm not sure if that was one of them, but if rate is that important, you might give 2.0 a spin and see if it's been resolved there.

    Thank you for quick help. It was very easy: 1. find config.xml file in /conf folder. 2. remove all squid entries in it. 3. reboot system.

    I did a fresh install of pfSense-1.2.3. Try to Install Snort-2.8.6.1. interface just shows "Installing perl-threaded for x86… Please wait Installing..." I can configure snort just by URL. Snort is running and logs alerts and attempts to systemlog. Only snort isn't in the services-sevtion nor in submenu as snort neither in "installed packages". According to browserwindows snort has version 2.8.6.1 v1.34 but i downloaded version 1.35 from packageslist. something is really broken here! A fix please. hardware; PIII600, Intel440BX-chipset, 512MB sdram, 512MB compactflash Transcend UDMA with IDE2CF-convertor, 3x 3Com ? (xl-drivers).
