    @pulsartiger The database name is vnstat.db and its location is under /var/db/vnstat. With "Backup Files/Dir" we are able to do backup or also with a cron.

    @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.

    Re: How to update to the latest Tailscale version? I am on latest released Netgate 6100 pfSense PLUS v24 ( pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11 ) pkg config abi FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg -vv | grep -A 3 "pfSense:" pfSense: { url : "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11", enabled : yes, priority : 0, cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 ALTABI=freebsd:15:x86:64 PKG_ENV { SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-cert.pem SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0001-key.pem } This firewall is obviously running on FreeBSD 15 no longer on 14. But can I use the freshports link for FreeBSD 14 amd64 quarterly which is at tailscale 1.86.2 or can I only go up to version tailscale 1.84.2_1, and need to wait until they have a version of tailscale 1.86.2 or higher for the FreeBSD 15? Would it be good enough to tell it to ignore the OSVERSION? export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes Note: use of 14 and not 15 ? pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/All/tailscale-1.86.2.pkg service tailscaled restart tailscale up

    I've read through some other posts about this, but they either didn't say whether the proposed solution worked or they were very convoluted and difficult to understand. Here is our scenario: We have 6 locations--Las Cruces (LC), Sunland Park (SP), El Paso (EP), Abilene (ABI), Fort Worth (FW), and Plano (PL). LC and ABI have software that is accessed by the other 4 locations via VPN. There are WireGuard VPNs set up between LC and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL), and ABI and those 4 locations (SP, EP, FW, PL). There is also a WireGuard VPN connection between LC and ABI. LC and ABI have 2 internet connections. SP, EP, FW, and PL each have one internet connection. If the primary internet connection goes down at either LC or ABI and failover occurs to the secondary internet connection, is there a way to set up the WireGuard VPN connections so that they also failover without purchasing some 3rd party application? Thanks.

    I was having some squidguard problems too and tracked down a different issue than what I've seen in this thread. I am attempting to run the shallalist rules and after a lot of troubleshooting I finally noticed in the squidguard log that it couldn't find blk_BL_politics I noticed that there's a blk_BL_politcs (notice no i) but not one with the proper spelling.  So I just symlinked the proper spelling to the improper spelling and after that it seems to work fine. Thanks to the package maintainer for providing this software.

    Snort has some kind of problem that it uninstalls itself at reboot, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the package system or the snort package itself, one or the other has some sort of bug. It will retain the configuration.

    Sure, I doubt anyone here is going to turn away someone willing to contribute.  I suspect you'd get a lot of interest if you make a plug-in for Thunderbird as well.

    @submicron: Please read the rest of the thread before complaining about things not working.  The button issue has been addressed in this thread, it does work, just not the way that you are expecting. The blacklist/whitelist count is currently broken and this has been reported to the developer as well. Finally, please do some reading to understand what spamd is and isn't.  It doesn't feature a way to blacklist or whitelist by domain.  That's not its intent.  Blacklists and whitelists are IP addresses only.  It also isn't meant to be the end-all, be-all of spam filtering.  It's meant to help stem the tide of spam and cut down the most obvious stuff.  It should be used in conjunction with a virus scanner on your mail server (at the very least). I did read and understand the entire thread, but since threads were aging and revision numbers weren't listed I was just making sure it hadn't been fixed and I was doing something wrong.  The whitelist button does /not/ work on my install, i understand that the page doesn't reload after the buttons are clicked- it's stated several times throughout the entire thread. I also understand how and what spamd does i was simply asking for an interface to the spamd.alloweddomains file, but since i'm not part of the bounty and this isn't the thread for that, forget about it.  The last question was about other peoples setups, i was simply curious if most were now running 3 boxes (PFsense  |  Clam/Razor | Mailserver). I thought I saw someone ask for configurations to be posted to help others out, and I figured that fell within the realm.  Here are my configs: [image: 6.jpg]

    Thanks submicron! Yes, I plan on testing the SpamD package. (we might have a site to try soon) We like the feature set and configuration options of ASSP. (Email/Domain/Ip white list, Active Directory email validation of real email users. Not to mention the building/feeding, and whit listing of spam/not spam by users. But it also lacks some features) This is why I wanted to find out more of the history and where the old files could be. Wanted to try and see what i could do. It is a shame that it was not maintained…IMO...it is a good product. Maybe spamD has theses features and I just do not have my facts straight….will look more. (I do see IP white/black list) Thanks again

    You're correct, the zabbix agent package doesn't start.  I modified it for my own purposes and got it working, but zabbix is a piece of crap and I scrapped it shortly thereafter.  Zabbix doesn't monitor FreeBSD properly so the Zabbix client, even if you get it working, will suck with a whole mouthful of teeth.

    @submicron: Then follow the instructions that hoba provided. I had another issue that a fan was broken and the device wouldn't restart because of this failing fan after placing the changed XML back, I directly moved my other backup FW into the vlan and had everything working in seconds… the same day I fixed it as I did before by removing the part from the XML as mentioned :) Thanks !

    LightSquid Issue

    @jan: Hi Guys, I've installed Squid and LightSquid respectively, I've also tried installing squidguard but don't have to luck to make it work, just used OpenDNS instead ;D  anyways back to the real issue, LightSquid seems to be acting quite odd. Although there are reports on the LightSquid Report page but when I looked at it the results are quite odd, e.g., for this day the total bytes is only 4MB. I have more than two hundred users and I can't believe they will only consume that much. Another thing is when I looked at the individual ip's report and compared them, all of them browsed the same three sites which is not true. I think Squid stopped for some reason that is why there the LightSquid report is odd and pfSense gui is still saying that it's running. Has anybody encountered this issue? How did you resolved it? Many thanks in advance. Jan Helo, jan, Be careful, as submicron - Global Moderator - Sr. Member, said on: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,5729.msg54580.html#msg54580 "In fact, … installation of many packages, some of which are problematic." You can be triyng to install many packages (5 or more), and/or tryng to use a "problematic" package, or using it in conjuction with a "problematic" package. I sugest you, to try the same, but installing less packages. Regards.

    I have tried both fixes (curl and ini_set - seperatley) but finding that it takes forever to download the rules files no matter what I use. If I download the exact same URL that /usr/local/www/snort_download_rules.php is using at the same time but on a desktop that is on the LAN net behind pfSense, it downloads in a couple of minutes. (no caches involved) Multiple attempts on the pfSense box return the same results. Traffic shaper is turned off and pfSense is 1.2 prod. ls on the temp dir (eg /tmp/snortRulesJ0rIr3/) show it downloading, but very slow .. -rw-r–r--  1 root  wheel  167363 Jun 14 20:02 snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT.tar.gz -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  6637801 Jun 14 20:26 snortrules-snapshot-CURRENT.tar.gz Once done, the rules file is a complete file, but Snort downloading seems to hang and does not download the md5 hash. Is there any other additional hacking needs to be done to the snort_download_rules.php file to allow it to progress ? Does anybody have the above fixes to consistently work ? Thanks.
