General Discussion / Can't find mdns and udprelay plugins

« on: October 30, 2024, 11:38:45 am »

According to https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multicast-dns.html, I should be able to install the os-mdns-repeater plugin by just finding the plugin in the list.

However, my plugin list doesn't include os-mdns-repeater.

I'm on the commercial mirror (with a business subscription)... is os-mdns-repeater only a community plugin, and not available for business?

Also can't find the udprelay plugin.

General Discussion / Re: Is it possible to import/update a text list of IPs and ranges to blocklist?

I had a similar sort of requirement, and I believe my solution may also be applied to yours.

Note: I'm prob just as new as you, so you might screw your environment with this, but if it's for testing its probably fine.

1. Add one IP/IP range to be blocked
2. Export an unencrypted backup
3. The backup file is just XML... interpret it, and find the IP/IP range you added through the GUI
4. Copy/paste/generate as many as you like to fit into the XML structure
5. Restore the backup

In my case I have a lot of VLANs, and duplicating the "default" 4 firewall rules to each wasn't a lovely experience. So I copied the 4 rules I made through the GUI, modified the interface it applies to, generated new UUIDs (seems like each entity needs a unique ID) and applied it to each entity. Worked like a charm. You could probably even automate it to an extent.

Well, I'm going to end up with 3 x Starlinks, so to keep it succinct I'll just get 3 small routers.

Starlink doesn't support this unfortunately. The only option you have (with the right plan) is to switch between "Default" and "Public" IP addresses. Even when switching both to the public IP option, both were given an IP (200.x.y.a/b) that still had the same gateway.

Do I need an additional router for each of these Starlinks to maybe to some NATing?

General Discussion / Two Starlinks, one always down?

On my Opnsense appliance (DEC2770) I have two Starlink HP dishes connected. The intention is to failover/load balance across them.

Both interfaces (Starlink1 and Starlink2) have been identically configured:

• Enabled
• Block private networks: True
• Block bogon networks: True
• IPv4 Configuration Type: DHCP
• IPv6 Configuration Type: None
• Everything else default or empty

In the interface assignments:
Starlink1 -> wan -> igc3
Starlink2 -> opt15 -> igc4

In System > Configuration > Gateways I configured monitor ips (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 (but I've also tried with 1.1.1.1)), but have also (like in the screenshot) left it empty so it uses the gateway as the monitor IP. But, the one gateway always seems to be down.

Why? Did I miss something?
