I know there is not official support of doing this but is there a way or script to convert the Pfsense mappings to Opnsense compatible XML for import. I have a lot and would like to figure that out. I saw this post regarding it but not sure how to use the script or implement that script on my end.

Side note. Why not have Opnsense do all the routing and just make the AC66u just be a wireless access point?

I'm testing Opnsense and wanted to set up OpenVPN access for my android phone. I'm somewhat following the guide for the Setup SSL VPN Road Warrior but don't need the 2FA etc.. Just want a simple OpenVPN for personal use to access network. When I get to the client export part it says to pick Android for the option but I only see: Archive, File Only, TheBreenBow, and Viscosity(visz). Did I do something wrong or did Android option change or what?

Trying to figure out how to use this to get my PFsense dhcp mappings into Opnsense. Newb to scripts of any sort. Tried in windows but doesn't like this. Any help for a newb on how to use this? I got my Pfsense dhcpd.conf file and tried running it a as scrip i windows but doesn't like grep.

Another way to import dhcp mappings as I have alot.

Edit: Got static mapping option I was looking for. Not sure why it was not showing before.

Great got it working on another old Dell Inspiron where the nano image worked and did the install. Getting used to the web-gui. Is there a button or area to add a static mapping of a lease already given out on the gui vs having to type the whole static lease info in the static mapping screen? Basically, click add on dhcp lease and give it a static mapping?

Solved

I have been trying to install Opnsense 19.1 VGA edition(tried other variants as well, nano works but no way to install to HDD) on some older machines I have lying around to try it out before I switch over from Pfsense to Opnsense. I tried all day yesterday doing different things to get it to install with no success. Same errors and issues every time. It is an old AMD a7gm-s Foxconn board but I test Pfsense on it before I started on Pfsense year or 2 ago and it worked. I have tried 3 different USB sticks with the same result. Took me a while to get it to write one correctly with physdiskwrite after trying rufus with no luck as I was getting GPT boot error.

Tried these set hint options from here:

See screenshot of where it boots to before it reboots.

Really want to get this working to test it. Any help appreciated can see the forums here are much nicer to people than PF*****.
