    Adding load-server-state-from-file none to the Advanced Settings > Backend pass thru section of each backend overrides the behavior and makes backend changes apply immediately when reloading. I am also using the global GUI setting Force immediate stop of old process on reload. (closes existing connections). [image: 1754764767072-67de741e-7dbf-4766-8e17-1a550e6684b0-image.png]

    @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.

    @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: its made up of multiple sources so it does make sense that it resolves some of these weird private hosts An public NTP pool like pool.ntp.org would not list host names with weird random paddings that reference local devices. "domaincontroller-gPHvwjYS.local,192.168.1.86" is a reverse PTR, and is requested by one of your local devices. Why , I don't know. @rasputinthegreatest said in pfBlockerNG not logging anything by default?: I find them in pfblockerNG dns_reply log under Logs No URLs there, only host names.

    @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 : [image: 1753262126227-1acdc586-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.

    @totalimpact Tailscale 1.54.0 is 2+ years out of date. Tailscale has made quite a number of changes since Tailscale 1.54.0, likely rendering it incompatible with their servers. I would consider manually updating the Tailscale FreeBSD package. FreshPorts does not maintain an archive of all the releases, only the latest compiled by the volunteer maintainers. The key to manually upgrading is knowing which FreeBSD version your pfSense release is running, i.e. 14 or 15. You can following along here.

    This is still an issue as of 2.8.0 / 25.07, and it drives me crazy. Gateway failure works as expected, the wireguard tunnels will fail over to the backup gateway and continue on as normal, but will never recover once the failed gateway comes back online. While a reboot will (usually) fix it, I usually just go into my routing settings and mark the secondary gateway as down, forcing it to revert back to the primary... the users tend to dislike it when I reboot the firewall in the middle of the day

    @kulbirsaini: @jchuerta: @GruensFroeschli: Why would you want to do that? pfSense is basically FreeBSD with a nice gui. (and a bit more) So you can do about what you can do under FreeBSD. Hi I would like to use youtube_cache - Squid redirector plugin for caching Youtube Videos and I found this in Python .. here is the link http://kulbirsaini.fedorapeople.org/stuff/youtube_cache/ http://kulbirsaini.fedorapeople.org/stuff/youtube_cache/ Youtube Cache has come a long way. Now its a squid url rewriter plugin instead of redirector. It supports 10 video portals now. Check http://cachevideos.com/ for details. Thanks a lot kulbirsaini !!! I already have cachevideos in the pfsense and it is working ! now I need sleep jeje

    You need to use pfSense 1.2.1 because the FreeSWITCH package is compiled for FreeBSD 7 once you are running that version you will be able to see the Freeswitch package. If someone wants to sponsor build I will make a build for pfSense 1.2. For more information take a look at: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,11930.0.html I'm currently finishing up a new version that will add an improved Dialplan tool, new Recordings GUI, Auto Attendant GUI, CDR and LOG download. When this is publicly available I will announce it at the above link. Best Regards, Mark

    Hi, you can make bandwithd ignore certain IP Adresses by adding a filter string like that: "ip and (src net 192.168 and dst net not 192.168) or (src net not 192.168 and dst net 192.168)" (This is my filter which will make bandwithd ignore all intra-LAN Traffic). Yours should be like "ip and src ip not [IP-Address]". Make sure you add the quotation marks or the filter will be ignored. Best regards, Felix

    Welcome to the world of BSD! There was a thread recently about a Proxy package for pfSense. My best bet would be to lurk around there as those guys seem to have the most experience with these protocols and implementations. ok, found two threads that might be interesting to you: Topic: siproxd, setup and configuration for voip… works great!!! Topic: FreeSWITCH package for pfSense 1.2.1 and 1.3 released. PBX or Proxy Girls? Are there any around here? The one I know in the network business does a hell of a good job but does not communicate much in forums. Pretty straight forward.

    Confirm, whitelist is ignored. EDIT: add ip to whitelist 2a)     I ) unload the rule triggering the block and save changes     II) reload the same rule and save changes 2b) just restart snort to definitively whitelist IPs

    Please read the forums before posting.  This question is answered ad nauseum including detailed how-tos concerning the set up of squid and squidGuard in a transparent configuration.  I'm moving this to the "Packages" forum to help you on your way.

    All the configuration options are there on the web page. When you either hit stop, or the relevant number of packets are captured, you'll have a display showing the source, destination and other details about the packet.  If you need more then you'll need to SSH on to the host and run tcpdump from the command line.

    Any solution to this one? I noticed a update to the official lightsquid site saying that ou SHOULD patch lightparser.pl #extract site name       $url =~ m/([a-z]+://)??([a-z0-9-]+.){1}(([a-z0-9-]+.){0,})([a-z0-9-]+){1}(:[0-9]+)?/(.*)/o;       $site=$2.$3.$5;       $site=$Lurl if ($site eq ""); replace to #extract site name       if ($url =~ m/([a-z]+://)??([a-z0-9-]+.){1}(([a-z0-9-]+.){0,})([a-z0-9-]+){1}(:[0-9]+)?/(.*)/o) {         $site=$2.$3.$5;       } else {         $site=$Lurl;       } ESL 2008-11-07. fixed version ASAP … Maybe an update has to be done to the package? Lightsquid would be great on my pfsense, since the original squid package does not offer any way to look at the logs without entering the pfsense machine. Or, am I wrong?

    @mhab12: If the LAN IP of pfsense is configured to say 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is /24 (255.255.255.0) then only computers addressed 192.168.1.2-254 will be able to access the GUI, proxy, etc.  If you set the subnet mask of the LAN on pfsense to /16 (255.255.0.0) then the box will listen for any requests from 192.168.1.x all the way through 192.168.254.x so long as everything is on the same physical net. Ok that cinda explains my main problem with not being able to access gui and squid on lan if. i´d guess i have to use /10 or something and accept that solution. Would it work if i trunked the needed vlans into pfsense and created static mappings?…guess i have to try tomorrow ;) danke /Fredde

    Try this…go to diagnostics, edit file, enter '/usr/local/pkg/squid.inc' without the quotes and then press load, search for this line: acl safeports port 21 70 80 210 280 443 488 563 591 631 777 901 and add port 81, like this, acl safeports port 21 70 80 81 210 280 443 488 563 591 631 777 901 press save. Now that you're done you'll have to either reboot the box or at a minimum restart the squid service, but I think a reboot might be in order as the squid config is rebuilt from this *.inc file each time the box boots.  Make sure you reboot by doing diagnostics, restart, and not by pressing the button on your case.
