So i have opnsense setup, and a plex media server too. Recently I have enabled my plex server to stream remotely rather then just my local home network. IE if I am outside the home, I can still stream my plex media libraries.

With that enabled I thought why don't I do a nmap scan on my public IP and see if I can see the plex port being used 32400. I can not. Even while the stream the going on.

I also have plans to setup the same for my vscode remote dev too.

Here is my testing setup:
1. leave home, go to local coffee shop and use their wifi.
2. ubuntu 20 laptop with nmap
3. connect to my plex via the publicIP:32400. able to stream.
4. nmap my public IP, and nmap reports all ports are down and host is not up. which is freaking awesome.


But i really thought 32400 would be at least up.

these are my cmds that I have tried:

sudo nmap -sP 32400 publicIP/32
sudo nmap -sV -version-intensity 9 publicIP/32
sudo nmap -sPn publicIP/32

hi all

About two weeks ago I had to move my homelab and shutdown the opnsense. Now after starting everything back up again the webgui won't work anymore. The firewall is up and running with everything able to reach the internet just I can't reach the webgui.

I tried this but all I got is an error message that says port 80 is in use already.

# /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf

I nmaped my firewall port 80 is up.
I also tried to reassign the interface and installed the latest update for opnsense, neither changed a thing.

no vlan, just configure the interface for dhcp.
interface is the same after reboot. it just shows no IP on it.

Hi all

I installed my opnsense on a dell r610, and it is great except for one stupid thing: it losses WAN IP after rebooting and I don't know why. I have to restore the most recent backup to get the WAN IP back for some reason even though my WAN is on DHCP.

This is my version:
OPNsense 20.7-amd64
FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p7-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020

At first it was suggested to me that the issue was I was running a live image, so I redid the install and made sure I am not on live image.
But that did not fix the issue.
Then it was suggested that I export the config and reimport it and see if it held. I tested it and it worked that one time.

Then recently I had another power outage and AGAIN I lost the wan IP and had to restore from the last backup AGAIN.
I also tried to just outright reconfigure the wan interface to use dhcp, but it did not reacquire the dhcp IP.

This is getting ridicules. WT#BDTY$GB am I keep losing my wan IP? It is on freaking DHCP for gods sake.

Help?

Hi all

I have a linux box (jetson nano/ubuntu) that I want to create a DNS entry for in the Unbound-->Override. But I am stuck at the domain field. I don't know what to put for it. Since I installed and setup the box I have never touched the domain part. I just got a simple home network of windows and macs so didn't really think it is worth it setup a whole domain but now I got this ubuntu box that I need to ssh into and IP is allocated from the FW as DHCP anyway so I need to setup the DNS for it.

what do i put in the Domain field?
