    @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.

    @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?

    My mistake, I misread your original post.  I thought you wanted to revert pfSense versions.  No, a package revert would be a useful thing.  I retract my argument.

    I left the main dashboard screen running overnight on my laptop and it was still working and responsive this morning. A little slower than it was right after a refresh, but not locked up like it had done previously. I'm not sure if it's changes that are up in the current package, or updates I have done since, that have improved it. I'm hoping to have yet another version of the dashboard out with a couple new widgets by the end of the weekend.

    The size of your cache is also limited by your max. RAM! From wiki.squid-cache.org: How much memory do I need in my Squid server? As a rule of thumb on Squid uses approximately 10 MB of RAM per GB of the total of all cache_dirs (more on 64 bit servers such as Alpha), plus your cache_mem setting and about an additional 10-20MB. It is recommended to have at least twice this amount of physical RAM available on your Squid server. For a more detailed discussion on Squid's memory usage see the sections above. The recommended extra RAM besides what is used by Squid is used by the operating system to improve disk I/O performance and by other applications or services running on the server. This will be true even of a server which runs Squid as the only tcp service, since there is a minimum level of memory needed for process management, logging, and other OS level routines. If you have a low memory server, and a large disk, then you will not necessarily be able to use all the disk space, since as the cache fills the memory available will be insufficient, forcing Squid to swap out memory and affecting performance. A very large cache_dir total and insufficient physical RAM + Swap could cause Squid to stop functioning completely. The solution for larger caches is to get more physical RAM; allocating more to Squid via cache_mem will not help.

    @g4b0: Not exactly, it can also log in a remote mysql, and that's what I need. Why additional packages (all, not just IMSpector) dosen't work on embedded PFSense? The package can't do that right now anyway, that functionality is broken unfortunately.  I'll defer to the 'installing on embedded' sticky in this forum.  Anyone wishing to correctly fix not only the package system so it has the ability to differentiate packages by platform, as well as fix packages on embedded is more than welcome to create an account on our Gitorious install, clone the repo, commit the fixes, and ask for a merge request.  Until then, there are no developers that have a vested interest in making packages work on a system with a read-only filesystem (and I don't expect this to get any better). –Bill

    Having used squid for several years issues like this pop up every now and then.  Update your Squid (SquidGuard) package to the latest version and hope for the best.  At the moment we are down to only one site that we use regularly not loading via Squid.  If we set that user's IP to bypass Squid, we get right through.

    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).

    On 2.0 squid can be controlled with firewall rules now since user rules are evaluated before squid default pass quick all rules. So there the problem is gone then :-) In pfSense 1.2.x squid-rules are checked first before the other rules… so this is the problem that you cannot create any rules to pass traffic through the firewall before squid catches them ...
