21.7 Legacy Series / Question regarding UI workflow for wireless devices

« on: August 06, 2021, 03:47:27 pm »

Hi,

I was wondering what the reason behind the wireless device menu is.

As I was testing, i realized that I can not set the mode when adding a new wireless device and the default is always Infrastructure BSS. Since i don't have a card or even know if there are cards that support multiple modes of infra BSS, i can only add one interface at a time.

I find the configuration very strange because my card supports up to 3 wireless interfaces, but in order to add them I first have to assign it under the Interfaces menu, enable the interface, change the mode and then switch back to wireless devices to add a new one. I can't add all devices at once, since I can't pre-select the mode that I would like to run them in, while the mode itself is displayed in the Wireless menu and corrected according to the configuration in the Interface menu.

I could have sworn this wasn't the case with 2.1.1 and I am pretty sure that i could select modes when adding the devices on pfSense too.


I hope it doesn't sound like I'm nagging, please don't take it the wrong way.

21.7 Legacy Series / UFS installation on serial amd64 image not functional

« on: August 04, 2021, 02:07:48 pm »

Hi,

i attempted a fresh installation yesterday and couldn't maneuver in the TUI when selecting the UFS installation routine, the ZFS installation on the other hand worked (with some glitches here and there). I would assume that this is a bug, since i haven't found anyone complaining about this particular issue so far.

General Discussion / Question regarding DoT

« on: June 26, 2021, 07:37:53 pm »

Hi,

i've been trying to get my DoT requests from other machines to be redirected to my opnsense and then forwarded from there.
I'm blocking all DoH servers (or at least those i could find and know of) and the only thing in terms of DNS i allow is UDP DNS on 53 (which is forwarded via NAT rule to do DoT lookups - works fine) and i have some DoT servers configured as forwarder. I found out while testing that some systems that have hard-confed DoT servers that they obviously don't resolve anymore because of my restrictive firewall ruleset (Android with Nebula, Blokada and such). So instead of needing to change those configs i would prefer to just have stuff redirected.

As far as i was looking, and i have been looking to the point that i registered since i couldn't find a satisfying answer, i tried a variety of things but nothing solved "my problem". While trying to configure this I also noticed that the way to configure forwarders is a bit redundant, since you can do that under Miscellaneous but also in the Custom options field under the General configuration of unbound. That confused me a bit and i wanted to know if there's any reason behind this?

I guess my question is: can you actually run a DoT resolver or can you just forward requests?
I feel that this shouldn't be to complicated but i don't really know what or where to look for, so i came to ask here.

Sorry in advance if the question has been raised before, i just didn't find the answer i was looking for.
