    i am using pfsense 2.8.0 with haproxy 0.63_10 and i have 4 sites that redirect to two different web server, i am using two frontend, one for http request redirect to https using rule: scheme https, and a second with type ssl/https(tcp mode) to redirect the request with the acl and the action, now i want to add a new site to one of the web servers i create a new backend (and even tried duplicate) and add the proper acl and action as always did but for some reason since the update to 2.8.0 the redirect keeps going to the wrong backend, i tried a test and rewrote and old backend and updated the acl and rule in the frontend and it works fine, is there a known bug since the update because it keeps happening even after reboot to pfsense and the haproxy service and reinstall of the package.

    @bmeeks So after upgrading to the newest PfSense 2.8.0 everything is now working like a charm!

    Suricata no longer seems to strip off tags like it did before! Which means I can now use my network segmented by VLANs and still use the benefits of Suricata Inline IPS! Very niiize!

    I checked in the Alerts section and it is indeed generating the correct alerts from the different VLAN sections, I put Inline IPS on the parent interface of all the VLANs.

    I assume this is because the FreeBSD version is also updated with the new PfSense 2.8.0 version?

    Because before, as soon as I selected Inline IPS mode, my entire VLAN tagging would break and nothing was reachable until I switched back to Legacy mode.

    @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 :

    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.

    I had a similar issue with Routed VTI over IPsec recently. FRR lost its neighbors after rebooting or when a tunnel went down. It never re-discovered it automatically. Only restarting FRR (either in GUI or via CLI) brought the neighbors back.

    When I manually added those under the OSPF neighbors tab in the GUI it seems to solve the problem as well.

    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.

    @drumsergio said in Arpwatch - Telegram notifications:

    https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11972

    There should be a new section on the Arpwatch service page to select whether to send notifications via e-mail or Telegram.

    The destination of notifications is set up here : System > Advanced > Notifications
    Notification can be mailed and/or telegrammed and/or Pushovered (whatever that might be).

    Btw : You can 'have it' right now :
    Edit :
    /usr/local/arpwatch/sendmail_proxy.php

    Close to the last line :
    Replace :

    send_smtp_message($message, "{$config['system']['hostname']}.{$config['system']['domain']} - Arpwatch Notification : {$subject[1]}");

    For :

    $message = $config['system']['hostname']}.{$config['system']['domain']." - Arpwatch Notification : ".$subject[1]." - "; /* or something else - I didn't test with Telegram */ notify_via_telegram($message) ;

    What are you trying to accomplish exactly.. Why do you think you should bridge all your networks together?

    Why are you trying to use a tap vpn connection? The only point to such a setup would before allowing for L2 discovery.. Ie broadcast and multicast? Why would you want/need that?

    Do you want to control traffic between your wireless network and your lan?

    @vukuze said in Error node_exporter 0.18.1_1:

    I am not some kind of pfSense guru and my advice may be wrong, but here is my solution of the same problem:

    mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/rc.conf.d cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/node_exporter /usr/local/share/pfSense-pkg-node_exporter/node_exporter.sh

    My node_exporter 0.18.1_2 on pfsense 2.5.1 gave me the same could not open error. I used these commands verbatim and after reboot the service started up and the metrics were exposed as expected. Thank you

    @steveits I have been encountering the same issue and finally digested this setting in /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf:

    # The ONBATTERYDELAY is the time in seconds from when a power failure # is detected until we react to it with an onbattery event. # # This means that, apccontrol will be called with the powerout argument # immediately when a power failure is detected. However, the # onbattery argument is passed to apccontrol only after the # ONBATTERYDELAY time. If you don't want to be annoyed by short # powerfailures, make sure that apccontrol powerout does nothing # i.e. comment out the wall. ONBATTERYDELAY 6

    The onbattery condition is immediately logged to the apcupsd event log and syslog, but the email notification is withheld until the ONBATTERYDELAY has transpired to eliminate unnecessary notifications for brief transients. I see that your outages were only on second long, so they would not have satisfied the default 6-second condition.

    If you want to be notified of brief outages, you might create a powerout script in /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/ similar to the onbattery script.

    You may want to look at MRTG. I'm sure someone has adapted it for UPSs (either APCUPSD or NUT).
    MRTG
    I have a FreeBSD NAS (Xigmanas) which has UPS monitoring that looks a lot like MRTG. Maybe you could spin up a minimal VM with it and monitor that way? The NAS uses NUT to monitor pfSense as slave, which in turn uses APCUPSD to monitor the USB-connected APC on the host... Simple! :/

    @skogs yes correct. But I am not doing the 2.6 devel release. The other day a new snapshot nuked my 2.6 devel lab install. It is absurd that this is still not fixed. Luckily pfsense is free ad I am glad I donโ€™t have the plus appliances. Then again a similar fix was released within days for pfsense Plus for this same multi wan bugโ€ฆ.makes you wonder ๐Ÿ’ญ

    My advice stay on 2.4.5 -p1 as long as you can. I am doing the same. I am using pfblockerng there but only ip blocking. I moved to dedicated AdGuard Home server on a raspberry pi for dnsbl blocking.
