Title: How to stop console displaying Unexpected TLS ClientHello on clear port messages
Post by: dpsguard on September 13, 2023, 03:07:41 AM
Hello All,

When we have captive portal turned on, clients send TLS Hello messages that are not responded to and console keeps logging those as a side effect from how FreeBSD treats these messages. And when you will have dozens of clients connect to portal, there is a clutter of so many messages from each client periodically to cause a mess on the terminal. And this may even have a effect on CPU utilization.

If anyone was able to get rid of these messages popping up on console, please help me as well. Thanks so much in advance.

@franco, I know you are always super busy, but I also know that you can point me to a configuration file wherein we can shut this noise up. Please advise when you can. Thank you and other devs for great work.

Looks like this issue does not bother other users of Captive Portal or it does not have practical impact on working / resource usage so no one is concerned. But there must be a way for OPNSense to reject these unneeded cluttering messages on display.
