Hi All,
After I had upgraded to 24.7.x train Unbound is not starting automatically after reboot. It does start manualy and has no issue running.
This is what I have in the log post reboot:

Thank you for talking me off the ledge ... efforts would be better applied figuring out why ntopng is crashing. 

I am trying to avoid swap, but also need to keep services running untill I can figure out why I am getting memory spikes from ntopng

swap_pager: out of swap space
swp_pager_getswapspace(3): failed
pid 72730 (ntopng), jid 0, uid 288, was killed: a thread waited too long to allocate a page
pid 42341 (python3.9), jid 0, uid 0, was killed: failed to reclaim memory
swap_pager: out of swap space
swp_pager_getswapspace(8): failed

When this happens ntopng and unbound exit.

Hi All,
Looking for guidance on best way to increase swap size (getting out of swap notices while running ntopng and Unbound ) Should I get bigger swap partition or add a swap file? Currently 16G RAM 8G swap, planning to go to 32G of swap.
I am surprised that in settings the only option is to add 2G swap file

Hi All,
I am running Opensense on Dell OptiPlex 990 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz (4 cores, 4 threads) 16GB with Intel I225 Chipset (2.5G) on WAN side and INTEL I350T4 1GbE Quad Port Ethernet Server on LANs side.
HD is starting to show some errors so it is time to replace.

The question is should I just get SSD 512G drive and call it good or switch to something like "Qotom Q730G5-S08 Latest New J4105 2.5G 5*LAN Firewall Router,Support DDR4,16G RAM 512G SSD" (not sure if Amazon links are allowed)
I am using NtopNG and UnboundDNS in addition to standard FW.

Finaly got Hitron CODA56  admin/stats page working from behind Opensense.

Modem only responds to https://192.168.100.1/home/html from the same network.

Solution:
Create virtual IP on the interface facing the modem.
Create Outgoing NAT to the Modem
Create LAN allow rule - it is critical not to specify gateway in the rule

Hi all,
I am running ntopng Community v.6.1.231220 (FreeBSD 13.1) and seeing the following behavior:
ntopng starts, runs for a while but all of a sudden starts consuming memory until it quietly dies.

There is nothing substantial in the log:

Had anyone seen that as well?

Turned out to be self-inflicted: I had misconfigured bandwidth testing on Opensence and it was running every 5 min ...

Hi All,
I am straggling to explain this huge difference in in/out between WAN and LAN interfaces:

WAN:
In/out packets   78631985 / 70208427 (87.26 GB / 17.27 GB)
In/out packets (pass)   78455868 / 70208424 (87.25 GB / 17.27 GB)
In/out packets (block)   10740231 / 3 (172 KB / 120 bytes)

LAN:
In/out packets   18196848 / 26080168 (3.82 GB / 17.57 GB)
In/out packets (pass)   18190017 / 26080167 (3.82 GB / 17.57 GB)
In/out packets (block)   1788262 / 1 (7 KB / 40 bytes)


I am running OPNsense 23.7.10_1-amd64

{SOLVED} for me .... embarrassed to say - I had forgotten to put allow rule for port 3000 on FW
I am having the same issue - all services are green but can not access port 3000
I had installed
os-ntopng (installed)   1.2_2   20.5KiB   3   OPNsense   Traffic Analysis and Flow Collection   

Should I install os-ntop-enterprise ?

Hi All,
I am trying to setup ntop and getting the following error on redis start:

Hi All,
Attempting to run speedtest plugin from cron but getting the following error:

I have serverid specified as a parameter in cron entry

From cli and "run test" it runs just fine:

Hi all,
I had got really tired of my cable connection to constantly be out, and need to enable iPhone tethering with OPENSense 22.7

My main issue if I can configure everything and have it be available after I reconnect the phone.
There were some discussions on pfSense that if I leave ue interface configured as a WAN interface and it is not available at reboot it will halt the boot (https://youtu.be/03_UHjKsxxI and in the comments there is way to disable scanning of ue in /etc/inc/utils.inc - not present on OPNSense).

Also is there a way to include kldload if_ipheth  and usbconfig -d 1.3 set_config 3 during boot?

SOUTION

After a bit of soul searching I had ended up with the following solution:

1. Connected SFT-1200 (travel router with mobile tethering built in - https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-sft1200/) to the secondary interface
2. Created gateway group according with  fail-over scenario in https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html
3. when main WAN becomes unstable - connect phone to mobile router and it will get you trough apps and downs of main WAN link.
