24.7 Production Series / Successful Upgrade - HP T620+

« on: August 06, 2024, 04:42:29 am »

No issues encountered in the upgrade, just the usual wait (patience)

Only issue after the upgrade - I use the dark theme - but all my widgets are following (white) system theme ?

23.1 Legacy Series / miniupnpd-devel package

« on: July 05, 2023, 01:13:07 pm »

To address my UPNP issues i was advised to install the miniupnpd-devel package

I have installed the os-upnp-devel package - is that the same ?

otherwise how do i get the miniupnpd-devel ?

Make sure you're using the miniupnpd-devel package, it's significantly newer than the UPNP package that ships with opnsense by default and specifically includes fixes for multiple consoles.

im using the os-upnp-devel package - is that the same ?

otherwise how do i get the miniupnpd-devel ?

this thread on pFSense seems to point to a upnp fix for the issue ?

hi - thanks for replying - yes in status i see the PS4s when individually switched on but not at the same time.

they both want the same port - 3659 which is labelled EA tunnel

Hi All,
I am struggling to get  the above combination to work. All the reference material points to uPnP generally taking care of this situation in consumer grade routers (Netgear Nighthawks for example) and certainly for Xboxes with Opnsense on other games this seems to be the case.

i have followed the guides to enable upnp - setup the ps4s with static ips and upnp acls to restrict the upnp action to the 2 ps4s only. Independently the ps4s work fine - but on entering a coop game in bf2042 one of the consoles drops out - usually the second on to join the game.

I am aware that port forwarding is unnecesscary with upnp, but static port mapping needs to be enabled in the firewall settings- tested with this on and off but had no success with either.

has anyone managed to get this specific combo working ? before i go setting up a DMZ for one of the PS4s (yes im aware thats a bad idea but am running out of things to try)
TIA
