Hardware and Performance / Re: PCENGINES APU[1-5] Bios

« on: February 13, 2019, 09:08:01 pm »

Hi till,

As far as I can tell, 3mdeb is a company specialized in embedded systems, particular firmwares. The lightly scenario is that PCengines contracted 3mdeb for the development of firmares for their APU series products.

It was perhaps a glich or an outage of some sort. However, all five BIOS-versions are/was accessable as of 13:00 CET.

19.1 Production Series / Reverting to an earlier version of unbound over branches

« on: January 30, 2019, 01:56:38 pm »

Is it safe to assume that OPNsense 19.1 will be using Unbound ver. 1.8.3? If so, and I need to revert to an earlier version, like ver. 1.8.1 (I'm using DNS-over-TLS), can I when 19.1 goes live use Unbound from the 18.7 branch to do so?

opnsense-revert -r 18.7.8 unbound


Thanx

There seems to have been a substantial breakthrough in the development of the PC Engines firmware, the apu1 trough apu5 range. The latest test builds have a 05_ prefix and can be found here: https://cloud.3mdeb.com/index.php/s/ssRQPSjYG8Ek6mD

The upcoming official release is expected around January 10th. as v4.8.0.8

18.7 Legacy Series / DNS TLS encryption using Quad9 and Cloudflare DNS servers (18.7)

« on: December 15, 2018, 12:00:27 pm »

Unbound surprisinly quit after an update to 18.7.9. I've been using DNS-over-TLS for a long time now without issues and was surprised over the fact. Reverting to the previous Unbound version 1.8.1 solved the problem.

How about ad-blocking, is it on the 19.1 roadmap?

Looking at these test results, the mainline v4.8.0.5 seems more promising, even without the ECC capability, then the legacy v4.0.20, but YMMW.

18.7 Legacy Series / Re: 18.7 no Wifi Devices can Connect to WAN

« on: August 15, 2018, 01:08:03 am »

I had a similar experience, but with Unbound and OpenVPN. I lost DNS resolution on the OpenVPN-client. Network Interfaces -> LAN, Localhost, OpenVPN-Server. When I switched to All, the DNS resolution resumed. Still, I went back to the old regime with "Network Interfaces -> LAN, Localhost, OpenVPN-Server".

Could perhaps the dot-zero IP-address (66.88.99.0) be the culprit?

18.1 Legacy Series / Re: ***call for testing*** DNS TLS encryption using Quad9 and Cloudflare DNS servers

This helped me speed up DNS resolution.

Finally, Under Services, DHCP Server, set your DNS Server to your pfSense’s LAN IP.  As your DHCP clients renew their lease they’ll start using pfSense for DNS.

As far as performance if you have low latency to your ISPs DNS you probably won’t notice anything.  But if you’re on a high latency connection  with 70ms pings like I am, this makes a big difference.
