Does anyone else feel like while the core rooting functions are solid and reliable, the add on packages, reporting and someone's the UI are unstable?
I have a pretty basic setup and numerous times the insight traffic reporting will just stop collecting data.
I also had an issue were workers just decided it no longer wanted to work as well as a few other packages.
Starting to lose faith in OPNSense

I finnally got it fixed on my fresh install
I had to login via ssh and run pkg upgrade.

So I decided to do a fresh install of 20.7, and I've done nothing but run the install script and change the root password.

I login to the WebUI to do all the upgrades needed and this is what I get, same issue still, just a different version of the output of the upgrade of the pkg package failing

***GOT REQUEST TO UPGRADE: pkg***

Someone please help.
Thanks,

I've been having a problem with updating.
At first it said there was a mandatory update to the pkg app, but it never would install it you say it was but it would never complete.
I don't know if it's related but the machine was acting weirdly, like I setup snmp and tested it fine only to find it disabled later.
So I factory reset the router and now when I try to update I just get
Timeout while connecting to the selected mirror.
I've tried the NY and DC mirrors, same result.

Any ideas on what I should do to fix this, or should I just wipe the drive and reinstall OPNSense?

Thanks,
John

Thank you, that is a massive improvement on my progress.
However, do you know how to start that at boot automatically?

I installed the iperf plugin.
I can use iperf3 by manually connecting via ssh and running iperf3 -s
But I want to know if there is a way to set it up in server mode, so it's running all the time on my lan interface.

I did look around and couldn't find any tutorials, I apologize if this is a basic question I'm new to FreeBSD and OPNSense.

Thanks,
John
