Hardware and Performance / Dec 2752 query...

« on: June 02, 2024, 04:48:59 pm »

Hi.
I hope someone can help. I keen to upgrade my hardware and the dec 2752 would fit my requirements I think but if your not using ids would the unit give be able to use the full speed of an 8gb/8gb connection. I have a 10gb lan and some 10gb devices already. Any feedback on this unit appreciated.
Thanks

23.7 Legacy Series / Re: OPNsense via Fritzbox not allowing access to WAN/LAN

What ISP are you using. Fritz box needs to be in bridge mode with the correct wan settings in opnsense..

Are you a zen user?

Thanks for your reply. I did a full rebuild from scratch and the issue still exists. Must be a bug etc. Your workaround worked just fine so thank you for that. Perhaps it will be fixed in time...

23.7 Legacy Series / Opn vpn server export issue...

« on: August 05, 2023, 07:04:54 pm »

So after upgrading my live router all seemed well but I seem to have a problem with exporting the client config.

Opting for file only everything seems fine but when importing the configuration to the openvpn client there is no option to add user credentials. The log file also reports username/password credentials missing when trying to connect.


Any help appreciated.

Thanks

23.1 Legacy Series / ddclient.conf overwritten

« on: July 15, 2023, 06:41:24 pm »

Hi,

I have a couple of opnsense qotoms all working well and have used the new ddclient plugin for sometime. I use a custom ddclient.conf file rather than the gui option. This has worked fine with no issues but I now find everytime I reboot either box the ddclient.conf config is lost - file comes blank so I have to load up a copy of the .conf file back to the system.

Any way to fix this as it never use to happen.

Thanks

22.7 Legacy Series / Re: dhcpdv6 failure

« on: September 03, 2022, 07:11:06 pm »

Mine has continued to be problematic even after upgrading but I have now fixed it by implementing my static ipv6 addresses from zen for the lan and wan. I had to set router advertisements to stateless but its all good. Once I had setup the dhcpv6 server and set ra both my windows and android devices all get ipv6 addresses. This seems the way to go rather than relying on the dhcpv6 option.

Hoping someone can help? - I have my ddclient working just fine apart from I have changed the interval for updates but ddclient is still updating every 5 minutes. I set it to 3600 as 1 hr check is fine for me but the logs show even after a reboot this setting is being ignored..I am using daemon=3600

Can anyone offer some advice please?

thanks

Hi There,

I have an issue where dhcpdv6 keeps stopping, and won't restart, which results in LAN side devices not being served an ipv6 address and subsequently random things seem to stop working on the internet. I'm new to OPNSense, so I may need some direction on what to do/where to look to seek out what the issue is!

I am using a PPPoE Connection (in the UK) on Zen UK. IPv6 is enabled and I get a WAN IPv6 address from my provider. They serve a /48 delegated prefix, through DHCPv6 over the IPv4 interface.

My OPNsense appliance is setup as per the first section 'Setting up IPv6 using DHCPv6' on the OPNSense documentation - https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/IPv6_ZenUK.html#setting-up-ipv6-using-dhcpv6

On initial boot / setup, everything works fine.

After a random period of time (sometimes days, sometimes hours) I notice things timing out on the internet, pages not loading etc - without fail when I look at the Dashboard dhcpdv6 is showing as stopped. I still have a WAN ipv6 address as shown in Interfaces > Overview > WAN Interface (wan, pppoe0). Attempting to restart the service through the dashboard fails. Sometimes, rebooting the appliances brings it back up - every now and then it doesn't, and I have to disable ipv6 and re-set it up for it to work.

As said, if someone can give me a steer on what to do to look for relevant logs, outputs from the shell etc. I am more than happy to go and get the information for someone to help figure this out! I am up to date on 22.7.2, but it did happen on 22.7.1 also.

Thanks.

I am with zen too. Have had a number of issues lately with the lan interface not picking up an address e.g after a reboot. If it does fail I either reboot it again and both interfaces get a valid address. Its been like this for some time. I have also found that if I restart the wan6 gateway pinger the lan side then gets a valid address.
 I am not storing the duid as this seemed to break it even more. I also stopped using the tick in the ask for prefix and it's been better. As I said I have seen this behaviour for sometime with Zen

22.7 Legacy Series / Re: os-ddclient does not seem to do anything -- Logs empty

I'm trying to switch to the new dynamic DNS client.  I have it installed and configured to use dynu.com.  This was done via the GUI.  However after letting it run for about 12 hours, there were no check attempts according to the GUI status screen.  There was no activity in the logs.

Where can I begin troubleshooting?

Hi there

so I had another play with this and choose to install the gui version - I cant explain but this then seemed to regenerate the ddclient.conf with my details already entered from when I did it manually. I had to add a couple of tweaks but its now working using just the ddclien.conf, my config on the gui screen is still empty which is fine.

I use dynu.com

log file now states 
022-08-21T11:08:14   Notice   ddclient[19461]   26405 - [meta sequenceId="1"] SUCCESS: updating nxxxxxx.dxxxxxx.com: good: IP address set to xx.xx.xx.xx

example of my ddclient.conf which currently works

daemon=300
syslog=yes                  # log update msgs to syslog
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid   # record PID in file.
ssl=yes


use=cmd, cmd="/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/ddclient/checkip -i pppoe0 -t 0 -s dyndns",
protocol=dyndns2, \
server=api.dynu.com, \
login=xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.com, \
password=xxxxxxxxxxxx \
yourdomain

looking good so far.

I am seeing this exact same problem on a fresh new build. I set it up as before and used the old config file which was working on the previous version with no problem. I had logs being written on the previous version no problem but now nothing..

Its as if the process is not even starting.. Tried it on another spare unit running the latest version of opnsense which has exactly the same result.

I installed mine from the command prompt as before.

anyone offer any help please?

22.7 Legacy Series / Re: checking for updates failing after fresh install

« on: August 01, 2022, 09:00:03 pm »

Thanks Franco. I opted not to revert and pulled another unit which is a spare on the latest revision for testing/comparison.

The 2 issues on 2 box's were
1) updates failing to check etc
2) soon as the update was applied to my live box out of hours this morning my wan latency increased from historical 6.5ms (over 12 months) to 15ms for both ipv4 and ipv6...

Anyway I'm pleased to say for now everything is working. I reset the time, changed dns settings which seems to have resolved the failure with regards to updates.

I don't know if this is literally the cause of the latency issue but I could replicate it across 2 units.  After a lot of messing about I removed my stored duid and disabled/re-enabled ipv6 within opnsense. Both gateways are back to 6.5ms so for now all appears well.

Thanks

Hi Franco.

Whilst I dont want to confuse matters as soon as the upgrade was applied my latency on the wan port has doubled. Never had any issues on the old version and I didn't reset my fibre connection. I would like to revert it . More concerned about the latency sudden increase at the present.

Thanks
