    @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.

    @keyser Clarify "it makes sense if the GEOIP DB has that size" are you referencing the asn data as I have shown or the maxmind data? the asn data takes all of 15 seconds to download and process. Not really any "magic" going on there, you can see the mmdb is only a download referenced and the asn.csv.gz is basically just unzipped. I can't comment on the maxmind data specifically because I don't use for my geo location. But I can see what the code should be doing. seeing your actual log file will help determine where your specific spike may be coming from, but if I had to guess from looking at the code and my timing with respect to the asn parts of it I would guess this is most likely to be an issue with the maxmind parts - timing should be in the log. can you change when it runs ? no, not directly, there is no way to do this without changing the code to target a specific time when it creates the cron job in the first place. No you can't change the timing of the cron job and have it stick, it will eventually just go random again. On the other hand, yes, because I changed the code here so it always creates the same "not so random" time.. runnning at same time every day since this code change first became available in the pfblockerNG update for 24.11 that came out months ago, well before 25.07 curious you originally said "noticed this after upgrading to 25.07 and pfb 3.2.7" were you running the "new" format of asn data before? (would have only been possible if you upgraded from 24.11 with the latest version of pfb installed) you would have entered and ASN key at some point to make it work. did you do that under the prior version and just now with 25.07) it's likely not significant, but then again .... That likely won't help your spike, other than moving it to a different time. I moved it here to a static ("not so random") time for other reasons, nothing to do with system load at the time.. Log files would be helpful. (just the snippet that applies to this time, from extras, error and pfblockerng logs there may be nothing in error or pfblockerng related to the time it is running. .

    @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

    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.

    @dvserg: Otto, probably first you configure SG on inplaced blacklist, and after download other blacklist ? You must go to Default and to the each ACL and reconfigure and save (then Apply). If you change blacklist type(source) to other, you must check all Acl's - Becose selected Dest rules already deleted and replaced by new dest-rules from new blacklist. ps This is one, why i can't add 'autoupdate blacklist'. Ok then… I'll have to do some more testing it seems. I have tested adding the blacklist from 'shalla' and loading that and ticking the 'use blacklist' box made the previous errors go away. I did however initially not want the blacklist feature to be used - I tried to add domain to be filtered manuall - but maybe I misunderstodd something. I have tested 2 different blacklists and tried to re-save default and ACL but I cannot get the service to start now. I see no errors though. I'll try to read up on links provided in other threads then... Thanks,

    I have my default set up. I then have in my source IP listing this: 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.2.0/24 10.0.3.0/24 When I apply this rule my defaults are ignored and only the ACL rule is enabled. I glean that this is because this is the only entry with these source IP's and so it becomes the first rule? If client found self ACL (by 'Src'), this client managed only with this ACL. Else, if client not found self ACL, then this client manages only with 'Default'. If you define ACL for 10.0.0.0/24, then this subnet will 'listen' the rules !only! from this ACL. Also when I go in to edit my rule it has taken out two of the subnets, leaving only 10.0.0.0/24 as the affected ip range. Sorry, cant meant this. (my english 'not ideal') For the source IP how can I have one rule apply to many subnets? (i.e. 10.0.0.0/24 AND 10.0.3.0/24) = one Dest rule for for several ACL's = Create self Dest rule (page Destinations) - for example with name 'bad_dest' Create ACL 'my_10_0_subnet' for 10.0.0.0/24 and set white|allow|deny for 'bed_dest' rule Create ACL 'my_10_3_subnet' for 10.0.3.0/24 and set white|allow|deny for 'bed_dest' rule Is there anyway to have the ACL list apply to any source No way. Each ACL - unique world for his 'src' settings. But 'Default' - common for any, who not found self in ACL's [image: noname.jpg_thumb] [image: noname.jpg]

    Checking back in to report…  I fixed it myself within a day or so. From the command line (via console or ssh) it was possible to see that there was really only one instance of Squid, it was just showing up twice in the interface, so that indicated a problem with the GUI interface to the package. What resolved it for me was removing the Squid XML sub-package, and reinstalling it, then rebooting.  (I believe that was the sequence.)  I did not need to reinstall Squid itself.

    You already answered your own questions.  Packages aren't for embedded.  Yes, you can get around the limitation but then you are doing something unsupported.

    i wanted to say thanks for this, i wasn't able to update snort until making this edit thanks @drarkanex: changing server.max-write-idle  doesn't work for me.  The moment I add this to system.inc and restart the webconfigurator, the webapp doesn't come up.  Removing this from system.inc the webapp functions normally. Also, i'm downloading the rules from snort.org manually now and i'm getting about 90kps avg  (50kps is some places) and the webapp times out before it can grab about 73MB of rules.  This really needs to be addressed soon. Also, Devels, can we get a lighttpd config panel in the webapp please? Also, in system.inc is it server.max-write-idle  =  "720" or server.max-write-idle = 720 with or without quotes?

    Is this the ext redirect?  Will it work when loaded in the /usr/local/www folder?  What will the exact code be?  What type of image - jpg, png, gif?  I am using proxy in transparency mode.  I have been getting the "error" minor bug, I read about in a different squidguard thread.  Squid and LightSquid is working properly.  I am currently trying to get squidguard working using the bigblacklist.  Thanks guys.

    snort is a known performance problem.  Depending on your configuration and network traffic I wouldn't be surprised that a 2.5 GHz P4 causes problems.  It could also be that the blocked list is massive and hence that's the problem. More information will be required to help you, not least of which is more information on your hardware (such as what network cards you are using) and what versions of pfSense and snort you're using.

    tendabiru You have to edit /boot/loader.conf (diagnostic/edit file from pfSense GUI) and comment (put # in the beginning of line) kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0". After this you need to restart squid service (status/services from pfSense GUI) or restart pfSense itself (diagnostic/reboot system from pfSense GUI). Hope it will help.

    @dvserg: @Shinatama: My pfsense also can't block sites, if i active ACL. I wanna set 1 ACL base time to block Friendster and Facebook , but if i set ACL other site not blocked, example porn (always block alltime). Already try create 2 ACL, still doesn't work. Now my Facebook and Friendster can't be block by time. ACL 1 setting block all porn, but give default all access = allow with base all day. ACL 2 setting block FB & FS, but give default all access = allow with base on time. if i don't use ACL i can't block by category, but i want to block base time too, please advise. Possible view you SG config ? it seem the problem is the ip address, cause i'm set the ip client is 192.168.0.0./24 for all ACL rule. so it seem it read only 1rst rule cause of it. i've resolved the problem, now i'm using 1 ACL rule base on time, block FB & FS, and block Porn all time. Just set deny on right and left, in acl rule. But hope this will upgrade so i can use multiple acl rule… thx for you help..
