Yes but.. what is the exact metric for ignoring something that is not a disk after all? ;)

The ses0 device probably can't fail (it's not a real disk) so it can be ignored.

This is how "smartctl" sees devices and things

I assume this could be safely ignored then (eg. only aesthetic issue). Thanks for rapid reply and have a great day :)

Hello,

I've just upgraded my router from 23.1.11_1 to 23.7 release. Everything seems to work fine but I see a non-existent device named ses0 within SMART widget on dashboard. How do I remove it? This device is not visible in SMART menu, just ada0 (SSD system drive, the only storage available for this machine).

Thanks in advance for any help.

A device with two network interfaces will be much better suited alternative to what you've provided. Buy relatively modern (6th gen of Intel CPUs and later will be a great choice, 4th gen if you really need it to be dirt cheap) SFF or even USFF desktop from manufacturer of your choice (HP for example) and install OPNsense on it.

I don't have this device but as far as I can see it has SSD inside and those are known to produce sounds comparable to coil whine during normal operation. Is your environment very silent (eg. enough to hear those faint SSD noises)?

1- i want WebGUI access allow on internet (like my cellphone gsm access to my home opnsense)
2- i want ping hosts in lan (like in lan, ping pc1 to pc2)
3- i want reach lan host to lan2 (like in lan(lan) pc1 to lan2(securitycams) nvrdevice)

1) exposing any administrative panels to the Internet is not a good idea
2) this is default behaviour
3) allow traffic between these networks in firewall rules

Versions = OPNsense 22.7.11_1-amd64
CPU type = Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz (2 cores, 2 threads)
real memory  = 1074790400 (1025 MB)
avail memory = 991195136 (945 MB)

I think you should consider upgrading your hardware at least to meet current hardware requirements (eg. 2GB RAM). Your platform most likely uses DDR3 memory which can be obtained extremely cheap nowadays (eg. less than espresso in semi-decent cafe per gigabyte).

If you can't upgrade then stay on UFS, if you can then get at least 4GB (this should be enough for single 128GB SSD) and migrate to ZFS.

such that the impact of memory speed would rarely exceed 10%.

Thank you for precise explaination.

Considering the higher price, I would rather get more than faster RAM.

Alternatively the same amount of RAM but using slightly cheaper parts.

OPNsense doesn't filter what apps/websites you could use by default. There's either a blocklist enabled within Unbound settings or your DNS provider (at least the one you've configured in OPNsense) for some reason has a blocklist.

I would say 8GB for normal use.

I agree but sadly you didn't read my post and/or didn't understand the question :(

my dec670 has 4Gb  and it runs great for my purposes.

Theoretically I would be fine with 4GB too (I haven't seen usage above 2GB yet but I've got myself 8GB just to be safe). Unfortunately you didn't read and/or understand my post too :(

Let me rephrase the question: how much does RAM clock speed (and probably CAS latency) matter in terms of OPNsense performance? Let's *completely* ignore how much RAM is used (or let's just assume it's 8, 16 or even 768GB - it doesn't matter whatsoever).

While it's well documented how much RAM is recommended to use there's literally no information available about RAM speed impact on performance. Does it matter to use faster RAM on non-server platform (eg. prebuilt desktop PC from widely respected manufacturer so there's no ECC)?
