these fanless mini pc x64/amd64 are too pricey, power hungry, overheated, so better idea to move to arm64/aarch64. 

maybe rpi usb router or cm4 module with gbe carrier board. 

Can someone give me some hints to compile a build for Compute Module 4?

i'm looking for a second unit, any experience here with the new Q1000X models?

i need some help with initial setup of suricata 6.0.4 on opnsense 21.7.6 ..

For those wanting to get started with IDS/IPS, this is an excellent tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yIq3GM4gjA&t=6s

is the youtube tutorial from last year now outdated? i tried:

Interfaces > Settings > Network Interfaces
hardware acceleration x3 turned off

Services > Intrusion Detection > Administration > Settings
enabled
IPS mode off so IDS will alert only
Interfaces > LAN only because Firewall > NAT > Outbound is Automatic

Administration > Download
enabled and downloaded/updated the test ruleset OPNsense-App-detect/test

Administration > Rules
7999999   alert   opnsense.test.rules   bad-unknown   OPNsense test eicar virus

Administration > Schedule
enabled default daily update

$ curl http://pkg.opnsense.org/test/eicar.com.txt

but no luck getting the client download of eicar.com.txt to trigger an alert

so i tried adding a policy but still no luck

i am thinking this is an asymmetric routing issue, because the gateway (ddwrt) is on the internal LAN interface. 

there is this article https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/firewall/troubleshooting-blocked-log-entries-due-to-asymmetric-routing.html under "gateway set when it should not be set" which talks about the ill effects of pfsense. 

i am not sure how the adb protocol works though.  the DF flag in some of the blocked packets makes me think there is some fragmentation/MTU issue. 

my first time working with android adb and i can't figure out why the LAN firewall rule to port 5555 is firing inconsistently.  the 2.220 host (tinkerboard) is behind a gateway (ddwrt).  any ideas why the second and third packets below would skip the rule entirely?

hello i think i remember reading about alias enhancements in one of the recent releases ..

is there some way to translate ip addresses back to aliases or local domain names in the Firewall: Log Files: Live View?

or can i set up remote logging to do this somehow?

hello i am trying to replace a ddwrt/atheros router with opnsense/esxi/x86.   to provide openvpn client to nordvpn.  i followed these pfsense configuration instructions (https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/pfsense/pfsense-openvpn/) as closely as possible.  the openvpn client connects but then disconnects .. any advice what i can try?

extension cable fits barely above the speaker mount.

so now i have two more ethernet ports to work with.  the mini pcie extension from adt-link works very well with the jetway/intel card.  at some point i will try to mount the cards inside the chassis.  if anyone else tries this, i would recommend longer than 15cm extension.  maybe 30cm or more so you can mount the full size mini pcie card at the back.  there isn't enough space at the front unless you remove the usb and audio card.

thank you that's exactly what i was looking for.

System: Settings: Logging
Log Firewall Default Blocks    
XLog packets matched from the default block rules put in the ruleset   
XLog packets matched from the default pass rules put in the ruleset

or maybe there is a way to disable logging for 'anti-lockout rule' and 'block all ipv6'?  the log fills with these and i can't see logging for my user rules.  i always have to change the default from 25 to 250 or 500.  so it would be nice if this were reconfigurable somehow.

hello is it possible to change the defaults (25, auto refresh) for the live view? thank you

i got pretty close by following the point to point setup to add tunnel settings (https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-s2s.html) ..

but still something wrong with UDP encapsulation and the install route:

thanks .. i have the new box up now and finally getting to the vpn config..  i would appreciate advice on how to configure ipsec/ikev2 strongswan.   

i would like to set up a vpn client running on the local router which would allow local machines (maybe restricted to a separate subnet on OPT1 or a particular VLAN) to access remote lan resources through a ipsec/ikev2 tunnel.

so far the qotom cpu peak temperatures are not too bad .. only about 35C .. hopefully no heat sink shenanigans will be required.

i tested the NAT throughput of qotom/opnsense using iperf between wan and lan ports .. without filtering it's easily doing true gigabit 900+ Mbps.
