17.7 Legacy Series / Re: Persistent apinger issues
« on: October 23, 2017, 05:53:37 pm »
More information and testing:
I saw some comments about ntpd being a source of some of these problems. I disabled that and there was no change in the issue. I also saw some comments about that being a source of problems with opnsense being installed in a VM. It's worth noting that my install is on actual hardware, not in a VM.
I read every possible thread and bit of information here on the forums and found that apinger was replaced with dpinger on pfsense. I switched out my SSD with another and installed pfsense on the same hardware. It seems to be fine and doesn't report weird values. It seems to consistently report the correct value over an approximate 18H timespan.
To be honest, I'd rather run opnsense than pfsense. Is there a relatively straightforward way to replace apinger with dpinger? I found this thread: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=2072.0 in which someone asked about it, but their problem was related to the VM install and that was where it ended. I noticed franco's comment that there is no current plan to replace apinger, but given the amount of problems with apinger, doesn't it seem like a worthwhile solution?
