    @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.

    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.

    Snort is an IDS/IPS, not a proxy.  I assume you meant Squid?  Squid can block by user agent.

    Try this patch against the original p3scan.c code (the version directly from Ports will work fine with this).  It should fix the transparent proxy issue with p3scan.  Without it you must use p3scan by configuring the proxy in your mail client. http://www.thunderboltcomputing.com/downloads/patch-p3scan.c.gz If anyone knows where to submit this to the upstream p3scan Ports codebase, please let me know so I can submit it to them.  It appears the old maintainer of the FreeBSD package is no longer around.

    you may have already tried but after you add and address to the white list the snort needs to be  restarted yo may also need to edit the file that starts snort an mentioned earlier in the board @korkakak: for my version: # uname -a FreeBSD cerberus 7.0-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p8 #0: Thu Jan  8 22:07:30 EST 2009    sullrich@freebsd7-releng_1_2_1.pfsense.org:/usr/obj.pfSense/usr/src/sys/pfSense.7  i386 pm26862 is right! The syntax of the & together with ; is mistaken and should be corrected. the way to correct this issue is two fold; First for operetion  where the process is sent to background (via the & operator) you must exclude the end of statement operator (;) and/or change line. For instance my config in the critical section looks like that : /bin/mkdir -p /var/log/snort;/usr/bin/killall snort2c sleep 8 snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort -D -i ng0 -A fast & sleep 8 snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.conf -l /var/log/snort -D -i dc0 -A fast & echo "Sleeping before final memory sampling..." sleep 17 Each command is on a one liner, hope it helps. Keep in mind that removal of the & operator (send to background) does not allow the script to continue with all its operations until the snort -c directive return from execution (that's why blacklisting works only for the first declared device). hope this helps

    i had a small typo, so now it boots a ubuntu 8.04 diskless. But I still think that the pfS dhcp-server advanced should add the line "option root-path 192.168.1.xx:/mnt/nfs" when configuring tftp.

    I just tried bandwidthd 2.0.1.2 on pfSense 1.2.2 and 1.2.3-RC1 and it worked fine in both places. I filled in 1024 for the graph cutoff, and 150 for the refresh, and checked "draw graphs" and it's running OK on both systems. I even tried clearing all of the settings (blank boxes, all unchecked) and it still worked fine for me. Line 50 in the bandwidthd config is near "filter string" so you might make sure that box is completely empty and save the config again. Or you could post the config file somewhere (attach it here, or pastebin it) and someone could take a look to see what might be happening. Alternately, you can try another bandwidth monitoring package: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/How_can_I_monitor_bandwidth_usage%3F

    Or assign the WAN to the NIC directly and the LAN as a (unused) VLAN on the same interface. (ugly but in this case i think it wont hurt since the VLAN will not be used).

    @0tt0: Yes, it seems to work when I install it now. BTW: is the link on the pfSense logo correct when in TFTP page? Here it gets me a 404 (have to go back on history o go round other page first). But since I get so many weird problems here (see other post on packages) I'm starting to not trust my installation   :/ The link on the pfSense logo is not directory friendly. If you hover over it in Firefox you will see that it tries to go to http://x.x.x.x/packages/tftp/index.php when it should be going to http://x.x.x.x/index.php. This is caused when one uses a path on the link 'index.php' rather than '/index.php' the / instructing it to go to the root of the website. So this a pfSense oversight in the link (bug). I guess it could be jerry rigged in /packages/tftp/index.php to redirect to the intended location of /index.php.
