    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.

    The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat.

    @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.

    To the people following this thread, i couldn't make this work.

    Steve from Netgate did his best to provide support for this via a ticket that I opened and not even he could understand why APCUPSD was working on my ubuntu box but not on pfsense.

    In any event, i decided to give nut a more serious try and got it working. I migrated my ubuntu box from APCUPSD to nut, as a slave, and everything seems to be working fine. At least both, the SG-1100 and the Ubuntu box can monitor the ups and retrieve it's status and parameters.

    The key for this was to restart pfSense after installing the nut package. If not, I kept getting an error saying that nut "could not connect to the UPS : Not such file or directory".

    This tip was provided in the following webpage https://blog.victormendonca.com/2020/10/28/how-to-setup-ups-on-pfsense/

    And now it wont boot at all. Lovely.

    Yeah, that looks like corrupt firmware image. You can open a support ticket with Netgate here: https://go.netgate.com/support/login. There is no charge for getting a fresh install image.

    @provels New thread may be appropriate as I marked this one as solved.

    Check if your Status -> Monitoring is working and showing current data. This runs off the same dataset.

    Other than that you can use the rrdtool command above to check that the database is filling. There is a task associated with filling the database; make sure this is running. During debugging you can turn unix time into date/time format using "date -r" function.

    If nothing works you can try deleting the database and start over. Maybe it is corrupted.

    Good luck.

    I've modified the client exporter to allow peer to peer openvpn servers and it works wonderfully. I really do not understand why it's not a remote access type. In my configuration I need to bridge two networks but still need to allow users to access it

    @dhjdhj said in Package manager empty:

    @bingo600

    Thanks. I guess that if the default branch was pointing a "newer" distro, I assumed I'd be getting notified of updates for it.

    I didn't particularly choose to stay on the older version --- I just didn't know I had to, to have the package manager work properly

    Cheers

    For now the update for SG-3100 appliances has been pulled back (not available online) while the pfSense team is developing and testing a bug fix. The pulling down of the latest update repo will likely "confuse" your SG-3100 box. The SG-3100 uses a different CPU (a 32-bit ARM processor) than some other Netgate appliances and the CE build (which is x86-64 only). The bug affects the ARM appliances only.

    So pointing your box to the older 2.4.5 rep will let is see packages for that branch.

    @serbus I wondered why it had disappeared.

    At least, all it took was reinstalling to recover, and all the settings were preserved.

    So after reading your comment, I installed the devel package and after working out the differences I needed to make that were version related, my OCSP stapling is now working again.

    Thanks for the help.
