Title: New opnsense install on Soekris NET5501 issues -Netflix/chromecast not working
Post by: paladin on July 27, 2020, 06:00:07 AM
So long story short

I have been running pfsense on a soekris net5501 for the last 10ish years

Given they dropped 32 bit support i looked around and found opensense (awesome btw esp the default config so no serial cable needed)

Anyway i got the latest installer, flashed my CF card got everything booted up, setup my wan and BOOM internet was flowing again.

At this stage i had not changed any settings

I then did some tests to make sure all the basic are working

which is when i found netflix/stan and chromecast wont work with the new setup. I plugged an old stock ISP router in and boom everything is working again

Has anyone got any advice about what i need to change to get the android netflix chromecast situation resolved?

anyone have any idea on what might be causing this? my wife is extremely unhappy that she cant cast her netflix :-)

It looks like there is blocking going on in the background when ever try to run netflix on the andriod devices. there appears to be an issue with IPV6 and DHCP
