Can anyone guide me through getting an AppleTV (the latest one) to connect through the Opensense system.

Thanks

Oh, forgot to mention that I can't get updates from the Windows App Store either.

Hi,

I am hoping that someone can suggest how to fix this error.

Ever since updating to v18.x I have been unable to access windows update for windows 10. I get the error:
"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x801901f7)"

I have tried adding the various WU server addresses to the SSL 'No Bump' list, I have tried turning off IPS (that seems to crash the system and requires that I reload services from the console or reboot the system).
I am running Squid, IPS and ClamAV, all with the latest OPNsense versions. I have also done a full, clean, install of OPNsense, regenerated certs and installed them on the PC. I still get the same error.

I have read various posts on here regarding similar problems but have not found any solutions that work for me.

Hoping someone can suggest something that I have not tried???

Thanks

X-Forward is set to Default
Visible Hostname is blank

Any suggestions???

I'm having real problems with some websites refusing connections because they are seeing my LAN address not the public address of my gateway router...

The OPNsense is behind the router with a DMZ setup on the router to pass traffic through to the OPNsense which is then acting as firewall, IPS, DHCP, NTP, etc server.

Thanks Franco.

It required gmake to be installed but, once done, it installed.

I'm not seeing an update available through the 'Check for Updates'

Ah, that's about all I need. Thanks Fabian :-)

Hi hutiucip,

Thank you for taking the time to write such a long reply. However, you seem to be assuming that I want to use the storage space for more than just static backup of files. My customer files are hosted on my sales site where customers can purchase the photographs they want or share small versions of the files on social media. I do not deal with video either.

The machine that I have OPNsense running on has an i5 CPU and 6Gb of RAM and 1Tb HDD. Yes, I use it for IPS, AV proxy and DHCP but most of the time the CPU is running at less than 5% and peaking at around 25%. It's not on a busy commercial LAN, it's my home LAN and, as I am the main network user, during the times I would be dumping files for backup onto the NAS I would not be expecting to run streaming HD video downloads from the web or other tasks like that.

Hi All,

Hope this is an easy one to fix.

When I go to various websites they tell me that my IP address is 127.0.0.1 rather than the public address.

I would like to have all external sites only see the public IP.

I am using transparent proxy on 80 and 443 with the ClamAV enabled.

Thanks for the responses. I was thinking of using FreeBSD's Jails feature to create a separate instance of FreeBSD. As for the files, I would only be reconning to use it as a backup server for my photographs (I'm a semi-pro photographer) so it would only be saving copies of client photographs with no highly sensitive information.

I get the point about using separate machines but that means buying another computer or dedicated NAS, and the associated running costs, both in terms of power consumption and space to have it. As this computer is always on, has a multi-core CPU & plenty of RAM I would rather dual purpose the one set of hardware.

Hi All,

I am new to OPNsense and was thinking that it would be nice to use the same machine, and more of it's 1Tb HDD, that I installed OPNsense onto as a file server, possibly with additional HDDs added either internally or via USB.

I have searched but can't find anything about doing this or even if it's possible?

Ah, I got it working...

I thought that, once I had used the first sudo command that I had elevated the privilege for subsequent commands. I prefixed all of the commands with sudo & it worked.

Thank you.

Thanks.  :)

I just tried again and, although it said " 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)", I got the same error.

I am starting from the root directory.

The commands I'm running are:
sudo opnsense-code tools ports
(entering password)
cd /usr/ports/dns/unbound
make

At that point I get the same error as before error.

I have tried installing 1.6.8 via the terminal but I'm getting an error.
