Hi,

I have installed os-wol via GUI plugin interface (after removing the wol pkg i installed before via shell interface). If I go to "Services: Wake on Lan" page and send the wol packet to my machine, I get this message:

"The packet was not sent due to an error. Please consult the logs."

There are no specific logs. So, let's look at System: Log Files: Backend

I read this :

If I log into shell and run:
/usr/local/bin/wol -i BROADCAST_IP MAC

I got this error:
/usr/local/bin/wol -i BROADCAST_IP MAC
/usr/local/bin/wol: Cannot send magic packet for 'MAC' to BROADCAST_IP:40000: Network is down

I don't know why the network goes down: the interface is enabled, and I usually can boot (manually) and ping the computer I want to WoL. In "Interfaces: Overview", my interface is noted as "no carrier".

Any idea about where I should have a look now?

Hi,
Late response...
You have to check "Show community plugins" and os-wol plugin will appear. I do not think it is good idea to install it via pkg because there are different packages (wol and os-wol).

I reinstalled opnsense and followed same instructions.
At first, I had no DNS resolution, but after a few dozen minutes, it worked. I don't know why it took so long.

hello,

I'm currently using OPNsense 24.7.10_2 with Unbound. My opnsense router is behind another router. My problem is I cannot have DNS over TLS.

I have followed this how-to: https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/configure-dns-over-tls-unbound-opnsense/

When I configure DoT servers (first one is 1.1.1.1) in "Services: Unbound DNS: DNS over TLS" (with " Use System Nameservers" unchecked, and no DNS servers at all in "System: Settings: General"), I have no DNS resolution at all.

If I go to "Interfaces: Diagnostics: DNS Lookup" and check for example.com with 1.1.1.1 server, it's ok (A   example.com. 2549 IN A 93.184.215.14   1.1.1.1   3 msec). With no specified DNS server I have an error message "Error: error sending query: No (valid) nameservers defined in the resolver". Which is not a surprise.

If I put DNS servers in "System: Settings: General", it's ok (I have DNS resolution) but in this case I have no DNS over TLS.

Could someone please help me debugging this ?
