in your  console (login)
press 8, for shell
then just enter the install script
fetch -o - https://git.io/j7Jy | sh -s

check out both githubs for info on version

original project site
https://github.com/gozoinks/unifi-pfsense

fork typically with newer firmware build
(dev is much more active than in main branch)
https://github.com/gnkidwell/unifi-pfsense

OPNsense 20.7.7_1-amd64
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p11-HBSD

I have installed and run both script with issue on latest OPNsense build(even on older builds)

I'd really like to run my unifi controller on opnsense. Any guidance on how to do it? I am new to BSD and OPNsense, though I am OK at linux generally.

That looks like just what I would need. Thanks! A lot of good suggestions here - I appreciate it!

General Discussion / Re: Graph to see the uptime of my internet connection

Not sure if this will work for you, but apart from Gateway monitoring I also use a couple of free services that monitor my gateway or servers from the internet inwards, in the image shown below it's monitoring my IPv6. Not sure if you can do anything with your AT&T hardware, but I also monitor my modem connection too. Check around and see if anyone is doing similar for your AT&T hardware.





It's a UK based site but there must be something similar where you are. You can easily see where we are busy during the working day.

Yes, I was hoping for a solution going the other way, but I may have to resort to something like this. If anyone else has suggestions for internal solutions, though, please keep them coming!

Gateway monitoring is off by default stemming way back to issues with the poor apinger service performance.


Cheers,

Thanks to both of you. I guess I should keep off the gateway monitoring, then?

There's no way to do VMs through OPNsense itself, is there? Just wanted to check. The hardware could probably handle it...

General Discussion / Graph to see the uptime of my internet connection

« on: January 04, 2021, 04:42:57 pm »

Hey all,

New to OPNsense here, but my wife (and kids) are complaining that the internet keeps going down on them (they complained about this before I was on OPNsense too so it's not that). I suspect it's the WAN that is going up and down (it's AT&T gigapower) and feel like there has to be some solution to simply see a graph or table or something of uptime. What I am picturing is, say, OPNsense pings 8.8.8.8 every 30 seconds and keeps track of missed pings. I searched here a bit, and while some recommended Monit, that seems to be about emailing when something happens, not simply logging it. I also tried to enable Netdata, but that service won't even start. Surely I am not the only person who wants to be able to do this - any recommendations? I know there are monitor programs that you can run in the cloud that ping your firewall, but I'd like the firewall to ping something else, for security reasons if nothing else. I'd really appreciate any advice or leads!

Thanks!
