Tutorials and FAQs / Re: Google Drive Backup

« on: October 10, 2022, 09:59:51 pm »

FWIW, I attempted this using a Google *Shared* drive (*not* a drive under My Drives that is shared) and repeatedly received FileNotFound errors.  It DID work when I created a "normal" folder under My Drive & shared it.  Maybe something stupid I did, but I'm leaving it there for now since it's working.

(the folder in the Shared drives isn't shown here, but that is where it was).

22.1 Legacy Series / Re: plugins list - short / empty / confused

missed this reply by "that much".  LOL.   I backed up the configuration & reburned the unit & restored.  Things are ok now.  Partial lesson learned anyway.   It was good to know other people had these issues.  Still a total noob on this thing, learning every day.

22.1 Legacy Series / plugins list - short / empty / confused

« on: July 22, 2022, 11:17:55 pm »

First: it *was* working...   then being a noob & google, I briefly enabled FreeBSD, installed something, disabled FreeBSD.  I suspect that is the root of my problem, but I have no idea how to fix it.  (and *think* i have since learned the correct way, but feel free to slap my hand & point me in the correct direction.)

system/firmware/update shows no issues (FreeBSD disabled):

***GOT REQUEST TO CHECK FOR UPDATES***
Currently running OPNsense 22.1.10 (amd64/OpenSSL) at Fri Jul 22 17:05:42 EDT 2022

The plugins list shows what I did turn on - but none of the big 'available' list.  The plugins that are there - that I did install - all show as "missing".

If I enable FreeBSD, the updates shows a mix of things; of course I cancel & don't do any of it.

Please help.
thank you

22.1 Legacy Series / Re: port forwarding, NAT, and odd client behavior

[SOLVED]  Had to delete bad security info from chrome at least; have to check on edge yet

Same method works for Edge too.

Update:  I had been playing with acme client to install certificates.  I had imported at least one of them to my main system.  I have since - as far as I can tell - deleted any obvious certificates, rebooted, etc.   Browsers on that system still cannot get to systems via the port forward, but are able to access the firewall dashboard itself without any issues.

I can't think of anything else I did that could have caused this...

22.1 Legacy Series / port forwarding, NAT, and odd client behavior

« on: July 09, 2022, 02:53:21 am »

Hi everyone, I'm new to opnsense.  I have replaced an old box, and am using one of these new appliances.  So far so good.

The scenario:
Single WAN to verizon fios, single LAN connectivity to my "big" LAN. (not a home lan, but not enterprise either).
I have port forwarding set up to several different services on my LAN; a camera system, phone system, etc.  Nothing unusual.  Different ports to get to everything via forwarding.  Used to work fine with my old firewall.

My main PC is hard wired into my ASUS router (Merlin).  My phone and a laptop are wireless to that same router.
I am logged into the OPNsense GUI at home, no problem.  SSH as well.

Here's the kicker that i worked on all day, and only at the end of the day did something strange show itself:
My main PC *cannot* access these sites via the port forwarding.  However: The laptop & phone are able to access them without ANY problem.  HUH?   These are all through the same ASUS router!  Is it Windows screwing me over ?  I rebooted the router & the main PC a couple times.  No change.   tcpdump at the OPNsense side shows the traffic; in the PC instance, like 5 lines & stops.

This occurs both in Edge & Chrome.

The Opnsense side seems to be perfectly fine!  What am I missing ? 

thanks
