    @andrew_cb said in haproxy 0.63_2 weird behavior, edits not working: @iSagen @TheCyborgWeasel The issue is likely the same as in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178348/haproxy-backend-port-changes-are-not-applied/ Try adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend. Great! I will do this.

    @NRgia said in Suricata on Pfsense: @bmeeks Thank you for what you did for Snort or Suricata. I'm not sure what you want me to do on Redmine, due to is a bug tracker. My question is for Product Management, which I will ask it here to be public: What is the plan for these 2 packages, Suricata and Snort? Thank you Yes, Redmine is for both bug reports and feature requests. Asking for the Suricata binary to be updated to the latest 7.0.11 version from upstream is a legitimate Redmine request. I would suggest simply asking for the binary version update instead of asking about future Netgate strategy (such as the support plans for the packages). Strategy discussions typically don't get very far because they deal with proprietary information or plans that a company may not want to publicly discuss. Redmine is where the Netgate developer team tracks all the code changes they make for pfSense. They will see Redmine reports much quicker than a forum post.

    @Leon-Straathof Data retention settings are handled inside of ntopng. Documentation here. Pay attention to the RRD note. Also, if you've turned on some of the slice and dice time series information (is off by default), I'd suggest turning them back off. These balloon the storage requirements and are of little actual use.

A NAS can go outside for maintenance purposes, for example to look for updates of it's system. These could be located anywhere of course. The GeoIP IP created a rule for you. How and where do you use that this rule ?

    @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.

    Since my upgrade to 25.07-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Jul 22 22:24:00 CEST 2025 FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, on one end of my most important tunnel, the tunnel still works fine, but the pfSense GUI keeps reporting the service as stopped. I had to remove its monitoring from the Service Watchdog which was also trying to start it, without success. Yet the trafic flows correctly. I'm holding off upgrading my other boxes. Is there something I could do to help diagnose?

    last i checked video caching via squid or the video cache paid package is not supported, i would contact the vendor, for the following reasons: 1. not supported here (officially) 2. they made it and therefore: 3. since they made it they will know whats wrong (they have to provide some type of support, as the product was sold) 4. you will likely get a faster response with the correct info instead of people guessing

    @ppomes: Hi sepp_huber, One thing you could do is to use thresholds to disable somes specific rules. This will survive on rule updates. We are using it, it works well. Pierre The solution to use thresholds to supress some specific rules works for us now. A good documentation what are thresholds and how do they work can be found here:http://cvs.snort.org/viewcvs.cgi/checkout/snort/doc/README.thresholding?rev=1.5 Thanks for the hint! The behaviour that rules out of disabled categories are used has not occured again … until now.

    From what i read, you could install the squid package on the pfSense and define an upstream proxy which will have everything directed to. (not sure about that).

    Yes there is. But you have to configure lighttpd to allow access to cachemgr. Or you can use Lusca.

    @0tt0: @belikeyeshua: According to this, http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_monitor_bandwidth_usage%3F I've got a few options. My experience has been that the RRD graphs are way too basic and that NTOP does not work. I run ntop with 3 NICs and it seem to work perfectly, collecting stats on all interfaces/subnets. I use 1.2.3-RELEASE and ntop 3.3.8. I think I read someone else very recently also stating that it was broken but can't remember who it was, I'm a bit curious as to how it is broken, it is some minor issues or feature malfunctioning or what? AFAICT it's runnings fine and if it's not I haven't noticed how it is not yet.. Cheers, Thats odd because I was beginning to think that whatever is making ntop not work is also whats making most of the other data collection tools I've tried not work. I was also thinking that its got to be 1.2.3-release that is causing the problem because I've tried it on 1.2-RC3 and it worked fine. So, maybe ntop will work in pfsense 2.0. I'll give it a try.

    I certainly hope so! The only reason I am not using haproxy exclusively on my firewall is the inability to get notified if haproxy dies (and get automatically restarted). I have enough Linux/Unix background to maintain the package - just not in FreeBSD.  But, I would be willing to be a tester…
