General Discussion / Wildcard domains in Unbound DNSBL custom lists

« on: May 11, 2023, 01:35:42 pm »

Hi all,

Just curious, wildcard domains are supported in terms of manual entry into the UI, but not via a custom blocklist, which the documentation states only FQDNs are supported.

Is this just because it hasn't been implemented, or is there a greater reason/design choice behind this?

22.1 Legacy Series / Re: Wireguard - What the necessary packages now? (22.1)

...splitting the plugin into 2 variants, one for the older slower go, and another that automatically installs the kmod package...

For what little it is worth, I would to make the os-WireGuard the kmod variant and have a separate os-WireGuard-go.

Just a heads up to anyone stumbling across this thread now while trying to decide on which of the two packages should be installed (this page ranks top of search suggestions for 'opnsense wireguard-go'), Vesalius' comment is now how the packages appear in the UI.

(Apologies for reviving a dead thread -- I hope the potential time it might save others proves worth it.)

22.7 Legacy Series / Unable to install opnsense 22.7 iso or img on ESXi 8.0

« on: November 20, 2022, 03:09:16 am »

Hi there,

I'm trying to migrate over from pfSense and I can't get the installer to work. I'm trying to install on an ESXi 8.0 hypervisor.

The img version (vga) would only boot if I mapped it onto a USB, but then failed at the installation stage wherein it gave an error relating to being unable to mount/invalid command (apologies for the vagueness, I've been trying to do this all evening and don't have the heart to reproduce it right now -- I'll post a screenshot tomorrow if necessary).

The iso image refuses to boot using efi or bios. The error i get is attached. Apologies for the picture of text.

If anyone has any words of wisdom it would be great to hear them, thanks.

Edit: the installation media is the latest available at time of writing

EDIT 2 (Losing the will to live edition): Right, so it seems the img error (attached now), is some whole can of worms to do with how EFI partitions were created before freeBSD 13 (copying some code over that in freeBSD 13 onwards corrupts the efi partition, see https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/mvvloi/invalid_argument_response_to_mount_msdosfs/gvf25sf/)

I'm trying to create the partitions manually from the command line but christ, it doesn't like that either.

EDIT 3: Oh my GOD. It's nearly 5am here, I refused to give up, and it turns out the solution is such:

If running ESXi (at least 8.0) -- DON'T USE VMWARE PARAVIRTUAL AS YOUR SCSI CONTROLLER... It'll ruin your evening too. Changing to LSI Logic SAS immediately fixed the issue

I'm off to cry in bed; night all.
