How many more times do I need to repeat this?

#JustPeopleOnTheInternetTheseDays... 😉

Nothing we can do about it sadly :(

For "real servers" EFI is the best invention since sliced bread. Nothing else, please.

Why exactly ?!

Apart from regular PCs and Laptops doing that fancy fast booting stuff for Consumers there is nothing that I can think of that I actually like about it to be honest...

If correct, Mips64 would be a show stopper in any case.

If there is one mistake I will never make again then it has to be buying hardware that (almost) completely depends on Offloading Chips and usually MIPS based stuff does exactly that! :(

[I don't have such a list of NICs]

Does your system have a free PCIe slot? Then buy a cheap used NIC (e.g. on eBay) that is known to work well with FreeBSD and put it in your system.
(I don't have such a list of NICs, but I'm using Intel i226-V on my OPNsense and it's been working without a problem.)

IMHO any Intel NIC with 1 Gbps or 2,5 Gbps ports will do :)

And if you want to be 101% sure you can check out the config file of the current FreeBSD 15.1 Kernel to see which chipsets are included at the moment.

Why are people all of a sudden using the exact same overspecific template to ask simple questions on this forum? I'm tired of reading through all this nonsense and might not provide answers anymore. Hint: this is not helpful.

+1 :)

I don't like to scroll through stuff that downgrades any monitor/screen to a 320x240 resolution !!!

W-T-F ?!?! :(

The obviously AI generated logo I admit doesn't inspire much confidence in the project.

The logo? No the WHOLE site is AI generated if you can't tell.

The weblog that's part of the website also mentions :

AI-native with on-device intelligence (Clyde)

But I have no idea what that's suppose to mean ?!

Hope it's optional because someone might like the software but does not want any "AI" crap on their network...

It will support VPP, and thats something that BSDs dont have.

That sounds interesting!

/Needs more reading :)

i suspect theres a lot of people on 500-700 who think thats just what usb ethernet does

USB 2.0 = 8 x 30 to 35 MB/s average = 240 to 280 Mbps bandwidth
USB 3.0 = Should be good for at least up to 5 Gbps

So getting only 500 to 700 Mbps via a USB 3.0 or better USB LAN adapter would be weird IMHO :)


Anyways...


Thanks for posting this!
It's good to know which chipset it is exactly and what kind of performance one can expect from it :)

If you want a taste of it, look here.

For those who do not know :

You need to Enable Early Access in your UniFi Account to be able to view the link above.
AFAIK it's still free and the change is applied immediately :)


In short :

The link mentions only the "New Age" Switches as I like to call them.
Pretty much everything with Flex/Lite/Pro in the name.

Older models like the 16 Port 150 Watt PoE/PoE+ model or the small 8 port model with PoE/PoE+ Input and Passive PoE Output are not mentioned.

you do realize this guy is not some random dude that just decided to vibe code his own firewall.

This is the co-creator of pfsense.

I am guessing this part of the text says that indeed :

Uno de los creadores (Scott Ullrich) del pfSense original, está desarrollando un nuevo proyecto llamado nfSensei, un nuevo sistema operativo orientado a firewall y router de código abierto.

:)

I guess it could become interesting for the folks out there that need Linux PPPoE processing power for their DIY Router in the future.

There has been a lot of IPSec talk lately because of some issues and there is also the fact that there are both a Legacy and a Current way to set things up IIRC so you need to figure all that stuff out first before you start !!


Good luck! :)

Once again, the great thing about standards is that there are so many of them. :/

LOL! ^_^

Where the pads on the board still usable?

I guess these two posts say it all :
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52036.msg267980#msg267980
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52036.msg267981#msg267981

Seems to be easy fixable, but I don't know about your issue, which seems worse : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52666.msg272506#msg272506 :(


Good luck! :)

Have a wonderful weekend 🤞

You too! :)

Thanks for replying. I should have made clear that I have a public static IP as part of my service.

Then you need to Manually tell OPNsense that because the Automatic Gateway stuff won't work !!

You can find the explanation @ https://docs.opnsense.org/ ;)

_{(I don't use the setting so I can't remember anymore what you need to do exactly... sorry!)}
