    @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.

    hey forum. maybe someone can help me with pfBlocker. I have this nice overview on pfsense mainpage but it logs nothing. [image: 1754330105763-overview.png] I found a related thread that never got resolved however https://forum.netgate.com/topic/175045/pfblockerng-not-logging-everything Is this normal behaviour? I am using the default out of the box settings here. When doing a nslookup of a blocked domain I seem to be getting the correct response. nslookup c.bing.com Server: 127.0.0.53 Address: 127.0.0.53#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: c.bing.com Address: 10.10.10.1 But I don't see anything logged in the main tab. Do I need to change something in this setting here: Global Logging/Blocking Mode By default it is set to "No Global Mode" [image: 1754330032261-stats.png] Under alerts I see my nslookups but it only shows "unknown" and not the actual website. I also expect more than just this to show up here when browsing the web. What do i need to change to get this to resolve properly? I have searched already and couldn't find a good answer. I am using Unbound btw. and this under general setup: [image: 1754330288353-dns-settings.png]

    @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.

    @Gertjan said in can I install a FreeBSD 14 pkg on a FreeBSD 15 pfSense?: If the package contains binaries : forget it. The ABI is different. It's not a hard and fast rule like that. It depends upon what the binary is, what dependencies it has, and how everything was compiled. I am currently running a binary package, which was built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE, on pfSense 25.07 (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT) without issue.

    Hi again, to be honest: I guess, I did not remember exactly what I did 2 years ago. May I was mistaken by the interface name opt2 because the SG-3100 has a physical port OPT1 and I mixed up physical and virtual names. The goal was to use 2 different tunnels, one for the mobile clients and one for the site-2-site connection. And now all is running in that way . Regards

    No, there's no documentation of the internal package processes. You'd need to do the install functions manually in some way, and also make sure any required binary files are installed, such as: pkg_add -r http://files.pfsense.org/packages/7/All/spamd-4.1.2.tbz

If the maker of the Lusca package would provide us with patches to add their package to the official repo, it would likely be accepted, as long as it was separate and didn't replace the existing squid package.

    pfSense is a firewall and not a full OS. It does not include a full compiler suite or developer tools.

    Denyhosts stopped functioning for me many months ago and I've since abandoned it. It appears few people are interested in taking the time to get it running, something I'd do if I had the programming know-how to tackle it.

    shoot well that didn't work try here again so more details I was before and am now running pfsense as a virtual machine with vmware server (before with vmware server version 1 now with version 2) I downloaded the vmware appliance and then restored my config to that. everything seems to be fine except that vnstat drops all it data for various interfaces every couple days.    Sometimes it will drop the lan data but the OPT1 and WAN data will remain then it will drop the WAN data but the OPT1 and LAN data remains. I would really like to get this working as I find vnstat useful for tracking our usage monthly and all. anyone got any other ideas?

    The proxy started working on my deployment after a machine reboot. So before the reboot it was only working as transparent, after a reboot it was working also explicitly. I suspect there was a problem with the reloading of the squid configuration, but I didn't tested the old squid port (the default one) before the reboot.

    Is this because WAN = PPPoE and is assigned to fxp1 (NIC) and snort can not bind to it as it does not know what fxp1 is. it only knows WAN/LAN . tried to much around with interfaces - assign - ppps but no matter what I did either snort would work and connection to internet would not, or connection to internet would work but snort would not. (sorry my pfsense/snort understanding is limited) both outstanding! works on lan side Initializing Network Interface fxp0 Decoding Ethernet on interface fxp0

    Usually the packages are only reinstalled if the definition is in the configuration file, not just if the files are on the HDD. I may be thinking of how it's handled in 2.0 though. It's a known issue that a factory reset doesn't remove package files from the HDD (it just resets the config, not files on the HDD), but that shouldn't result in the packages being reinstalled, however.

    Hi all, I've been experiencing this same problem which made me do a lot of re-installations and testing the packages one after the other. During these times, I noticed that Sqiud + Squidguard + Havp always cause this problem. So I installed Squid + Squidguard alone and the problem stopped. So the problem seems to be with HAVP if installed together with Squidguard. If i reboot many times,the Squid and Squidguard always start. I'm running v.123 on Gigabyte board + Dual Core + 4Gb memory. One can give it a try. Okwuy.

    FYI- I re-enabled squid and squidguard on NanoBSD today. I added squid's "null" cache type which disables caching. Those using squid on nanobsd should use this type, and disable ALL logging.
