    @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.

    @jrey I found the DB sizes on Maxmind, and they are rather big, so i'm figuring it just takes time for such an anemic CPU to sort all that out.

    @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.

    @raidflex said in updating to acme 1.0 breaks system beyond repair: need to restore from backup: maybe uninstall Crowdsec when applying other updates first. It seems like it doesn't help at least from what I see on my system... it changes something.. so it must be definitely reported to their github. I have never experienced that before and crowsec was installed.. maybe with 2.8.0 something have changed

    With Tailscale, I just recommend sticking with the FreeBSD15 version. Yes, it may currently work using the FreeBSD 14 package despite being on 15, but any number of other updates could result in that not being the case anymore. Not to mention the fact that any updates newer than 1.84.2_1 don't really impact functionality for what people would be using Tailscale for with PfSense so updating past that is not an absolute necessity. I run 1.86.4 on my desktop+phone and 1.84.2_1 on my pfsense router. Phone commonly uses the PfSense router as an exit node and there's no difference for PfSense. TL;DR: Better to be safe than sorry and stick with the FreeBSD 15 version even if it's not the latest version of Tailscale.

    Strangely enough, checking the system 4 days later, I now see that Wireguard service is reported running! The last thing I did 4 days ago was to disable Wireguard service monitoring by the Service Watchdog. Anyway, even when it was reported stopped at first, 4 days ago, the tunnels were working flawlessly. Very strange. I will keep an eye on it.

    ntop is in the 1.2.2 package list and beyond so this thread is now moot.  Do not follow these instructions with 1.2.2 and beyond or you will absolutely, positively break something.

    I didn't get the PPTP error before but now that I'm home and on the LAN side of the firewall I'm afraid squid is not serving content from the cache. A reboot does not give the PPTP error.  But a service stop/start raises the PPTP alert again. Nick.

    bind it to the interface the proxy should listen to, mostly your LAN… if your OPT1 is some VPN-tunnel to your site, you can also bind it to OPT1 if squid should intercept the traffic to port 80 or else on the OPT1 interface...

    If you have PPTP using Radius with W2k3 IAS all you need to do is create another Remote Access Policy and change "Service-Type" to "Login" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Edit Dial-in Profile" window. You should be receiving error messages in the event logs about receiving the request for authentication.

    Also appears that an upgrade doesn't always work properly.  This does not appear to be limited to the DNS package as there are similar complaints about other packages.   In the case of the DNS package though, the symptoms we saw were the service no longer responding to queries after about ten minutes.  (Don't know if it is time or traffic related).  Manually restarting the service through the service status screen would let it run for another ten minutes or so, but that's all.   The solution we applied, which appears to have fixed it, was to remove the package via the package management screen and then manually delete the /etc/tinydns folder along with the /service/tinydns file.  (Other files appear to have been removed properly by the un-installation script.)   We left the conf/config.xml untouched, and when the package was reinstalled it picked up all the previous settings just fine and there were no further problems.   YMMV, etc
