Title: dnscrypt-proxy not available as an installable plugin
Post by: abij on September 24, 2019, 05:56:20 am

Hello,

My router is on

OPNsense 19.7.4_1-i386
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p14-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.0.2s 28 May 2019

Is it true that dnscrypt-proxy plugin is not available for i386 firmware? I cannot find it as an installable plugin under tab System:Firmware:Plugins.

Thanks.

dnscrypt-proxy version 2 is a Go program which we don't offer on i386 for build speed reasons. i386 does not have any Go packages and is  scheduled for removal with OPNsense 20.1 (January 2020).


Cheers,
Franco

Thank you.

Then is there a path to migrate i386 to amd64 install without reinstall and reconfigure everything, like overwrite i386 binaries with amd64 version? I know there is a restore setting tab but it seems some individual package settings will be lost after new install.

You can import + install from a clean amd64 image over an old i386 installation. But you will need to reinstall the plugins although your settings will remain in the config.xml.

This won't retain your logs, but overall the process is as good as it gets because you're replacing all binaries anyway.

Franco
