Will do! I just wanted to unformally check here first. Thank you!

Hi All, since the "whois" command is part of FreeBSD base and a really useful command, do you know if it is possible to make it part of the GUI under Diagnostics?

Hi All, is there a specific reason why the FQDN toggle in the Top Talkers (Reporting -> Traffic -> Top Talkers) section is not there anymore? It was very useful to perform an instant DNS lookup of the IP instead of copying it and then move to another section (Interfaces -> Diagnostic -> DNS Lookup) to do it.

Also, it would nice to filter per interface and see the destination IP that the host on that interface is talking to with the direction of the traffic. If I filter by the 2 interfaces where the traffic is flowing there is now way to understand the traffic flow of the top hosts as it's a mix of IP addresses.

Thank you!

Thank you Fright for your effort/help!

I have opened an issue on Github but I'm not sure why it has been marked as incomplete without any reason/explanation:

https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/4450

Any idea why?

If you check the interface statistics widget does it report any errors/collisions?

The progress bar is the one appealing to me. But not sure about other users.

Hi All,

This post is mainly aimed to understand why the OPNsense userbase has chosen OPNsense rather than using a stock FreeBSD/OpenBSD install with pf managed by the CLI.

I come from a stock FreeBSD+pf+unbound+dhcpd setup since years and the main reason I wanted to move to a GUI was the fact that after a while that I was not logging into it I was going to forget commands and how to do things, and so I was always landing on google/personal notes to remember how to do it. Also the fact that I have a complete dashboard with the current overall status of the appliance gives me more quick awareness of what's passing through my firewall, instead of executing single commands to retrieve isolated information (i.e. top, pftop, systat queues, etc).

What I found online is that many users have the same common reason of not wanting to run a webserver+php on their appliances for security reason, and the fact that via CLI you have more control and learn more.

That would be great! Thank you very much!

This looks good to me! In my personal case if I need more historical CPU data I would go straight to the CPU usage graph, otherwise I just need the current snapshot once I'm on the dashboard.

My post aimed to gather opinions from users/devs prior to post a PR as it's not really a "must" change.

Thank you!

It looks like there have not been any update since July.

I had a similar issue with the latest OPNsense img file and rebooting the appliance fixed it.

Hi all,

this is mainly a personal/cosmetic taste and I just wanted to know what do you think about changing the CPU usage graph in the dashboard to be the same as the one for State table size/MBUF Usage/Memory usage/Disk usage?

Beside being the same style I think the bars provide more detailed view, always showing the percentage value of the usage.

Thank you,
