    @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 had the same problem, and I've just been running without those rules. I'm guessing that this rule is responsible: 223 udp $EXTERNAL_NET any $HOME_NET [31335,35555] DDOS Trin00 Daemon to Master PONG message detected Edit: I disabled that rule, and it starts up fine. I guess the syntax on the port specification is incorrect.

    @wompy: Actually that link does have everything you need. Destinations is where your blacklist/whitelist additions will be. Once you save them then they will be added to the database. under default and ACL you will see the uptime destinations check boxes. Thats where you will specify to allow, or deny access. save and then apply on the general settings tab. +1 If you select Dest-rule and not checking deny - this is mean whitelist, and such rules will placed before block(deny) rules (exclude 'all' rule - this rule always last) .

    Rather than downgrading, you can look the other way to see if that will help. pfSense 1.2.1 should be here by the end of the month, and will be based on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE (rather than the 6.2-RELEASE used in 1.2). Click here for the development snapshots. The ISO works fine on my Dell Poweredge R200, which, being ICH9 based, will not work with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. However, it's not advised to use this in production.

    @Valhalla1: trying to figure out if this was a serious 'feature' you are touting, or if I'm being leveled and this is not what you wanted/expected when installing those packages…  anyway u said u were trying to reduce the # of packages required, u can drop phpsysinfo as thats got nothing to do with nothing as far as intant message programs I think you are right, and you understood …. We will wh. the next release, might V1.2.1 will solve this issue....??? Rergards

    This how I did it. install package squid and squidguard and go to console menu and press 8 to exit console menu. chown of /var/squid and /var/squidGuard to proxy:proxy    (ex. chown -R proxy:proxy /var/squid) create /download  directory cd /download pkg_add -r http://62.4.17.14/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/All/wget-1.10.2.tbz /usr/local/bin/wget http://www.shallalist.de/Downloads/shallalist.tar.gz    ( at least you can see download progress using this way) click to Service>Proxy Content>General Setting in Blacklist URL = /download/shallalist.tar.gz see squidguard1.JPG click save button click Upload URL button click save button (just to make sure) although it says "SquidGuard service state: STARTED" just click apply button GOTO Default tab Follow my example using squidguard2.JPG and squidguard3.JPG or customize as you like but leave Default access [all] click save go to ACL tab and create new ACL (click the + button) for "Source IP Address" put your network address/Masks bit (not ip address) example squidguard4.JPG for "Destination" –--> customize as you like but leave Default access [all] and click save when finish. (squidguard5.JPG) go to General Stting tab and click apply button to restart squid (and squidGuard too) Note: Make sure in Service>Proxy server>Access Control –-->    the allow subnet is/are the same with (17)  (subnet = network address/Masks bit) The End BTW it took me about 3 to 4 months to figure this out by looking here and there in the forum.  :) [image: squidguard1.JPG] [image: squidguard1.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard2.JPG] [image: squidguard2.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard3.JPG] [image: squidguard3.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard4.JPG] [image: squidguard4.JPG_thumb] [image: squidguard5.JPG] [image: squidguard5.JPG_thumb]

    Well, looks like it was something at the ISP side of things.  According to a tech rep, the IP assigned to our WAN interface was conflicting with someone else's subnet. They didn't elaborate.  The traceroute with the third hop stuttering isn't fixed but at least now I can get to the packages.

    The only entry in /etc/crontab is shown in the original post.  There is no expiretable entry.  I remember that used to be present in my snort installs in the 1.1 days. So snort is still using cron to expire rules?  I must have been mistaken that the expire mechanism was changed.

    @submicron: I hate to be that guy but you realize that the urlblacklist isn't free for download and that they expect you, on your honor, to pay for it, right?  If you are just blindly downloading and using it, especially for a commercial endeavor, you are most certainly violating their terms of service. Hi Submicron Good point, and yes, I AM paying for it, payed for 6 months right away :-) It is used for my home setup, to protect my children, but it's a very relevant point to emphasize that it's a service you should pay for!
