17.7 Legacy Series / Re: Gateway monitoring reality check
« on: August 22, 2017, 03:36:39 pm »
I spend hours thoroughly documenting that there are deep bugs in the current OPNsense and get no response at all? This kind of thorough testing is invaluable to any responsible software house. At least there should be thanks here, and hopefully some recognition of where the bugs might be and suggestions on how to possibly work around them.
Having a second interface get into trouble when a first interface goes down is not good. Having VIPs get lost when an interface they're on is disabled and then re-enabled again is not good. These are reproducible bugs. If others with similar configuration requirement aren't seeing them, the only thing that should be at all unusual in my setup is the reversed order of the gateway stanzas in the XML file, due to the poor programming standards in the original pfSense project if so, since someone there thought it was good practice to depend on order of stanzas in at least one other context. I can straighten out the stanzas at test this hypothesis; but only if those at the core of this project care.
OPNsense has a brilliant interface. The design is far improved over pfSense. But if there's no concern about it being seriously broken underneath, it won't deserve much of a future. Please tell me I'm wrong to suspect this, and that those at the core of this project care about quality.
