General Discussion / DNS Server and "Use gateway" in Settings -> General

« on: December 11, 2023, 05:29:09 pm »

I have setup 2 Adguard Home DNS server in Raspberry Pi and was wondering what should go into the Use Gateway field? The drop down shows Wan DHCP6 IPV6 address and Wan DHCP IPV4 address.
And secondly, how to setup primary and secondary DNS so the secondary becomes active when the primary is down? As is, if I turn off the primary, 192.168.4.209 DNS, the LAN devices does not use the secondary DNS 192.168.4.208. Under Services DHCPv4 i have bother DNS listed.

Is there a benchmark of some sort for this zones?
Are this numbers within acceptable range with browsing in 2 laptops, couple of streaming devices and 3 phones?

The Core 0,1,2,3 (dev.cpu.0.temperature) 52.0 degree C
Zone 0 (hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature) is at 27.9 c constant.

The Core 0,1,2,3 (dev.cpu.0.temperature) is always hovering at 52.0 degree C but some time spikes to 58 C for a second or so.
The Zone 0 (hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature) is at 27.9 c constant.

I juts installed os-hw-probe.

I wanted to move this to Zenarmor thread but did not know how, so I created a dup of this in that thread.

Zenarmor (Sensei) / Opnsense box stops getting wan IP after 15 or 20 days - Zenarmor error

« on: April 30, 2022, 04:57:17 pm »

I am running 21.1.6.
I have experienced twice in last month an a half that my router stopped receiving IPV4 WAN address from the AT&T pass thru modem. It does not lose the IPV6 address.
I had to reboot to get it back up and running.

What could cause this?
For troubleshooting this, what logs should I be looking into? I have Zenarmor- Sensei setup for LAN interface, and this is what I saw in the System Diagnostic Activity. Can this be the reason, "HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError"?
My box has 8 GIG of memory and Intel core i5 2.30 GHZ 4 core cpu.

22.1 Legacy Series / Re: IPv6 working properly???

« on: February 13, 2022, 04:52:03 pm »

I also have found since updating to 22.1 that RA would not start.
After much messing and many reboots, I removed the DNS servers entries I had in all the interfaces on RA and rebooted and it started working.
I then put them back again (to the DNS servers I wanted in there) and rebooted again.

Now it SEEMS to be back to normal.... in that RA starts on boot up and the problem has gone.... I think....

I am having the same issue. RA, what is this and where is it in GUI?

General Discussion / PiHole and Opnsense - which IP to use in the Opnsense System --> General DNS fi

« on: February 02, 2022, 01:14:29 pm »

I have a simple setup of Opnsense+PiHole.
I have assigned the IP of my PiHole to the DNS field in DHCP of Opnsense.
Should I use PiHole's IP in the System- Setting - General in the DNS field or use something like 9.9.9.9 in the system DNS box?

Zenarmor (Sensei) / Re: Elastic search won't start on 22.1

Hi,

What if you install ubench manually?

pkg install -fy ubench

When I try to install ubench manually it gave the beloww out put, but I think after running pkg clean something good happened. The configuration went on and completed.
pkg install -y ubench
Updating OPNsense repository catalogue...
OPNsense repository is up to date.
Updating SunnyValley repository catalogue...
SunnyValley repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.

The most recent versions of packages are already installed


Thank you for the pkg clean suggestion, I believe that worked.

So, I uninstalled and reinstalled zenarmor, while coiffuring ZI get the error  in hardware configuration "We could not locate ubench package, tried to install it, and installation did not work.".

Help pls.
