24.1 Legacy Series / Re: 24.1 - DHCP server moves to KEA - implications?

« on: June 10, 2024, 05:05:16 am »

Did ISC reveal the reason they abandoning software that works in favour of something thats incomplete and buggy?

I am guessing they have a new generational of developers who dont want to work on the old code so its the typical solution of rewriting.

Please dont remove ISC DHCP from future builds of opnsense.

24.1 Legacy Series / Re: Installer cant finish booting, live boot is broken.

I am just giving you an answer which might explain why it sits there for a long time on the installer boot.  I could I guess revert the assignments on the host and see if it speeds things up.

Well your case is a local install, if OPNsense is remote you need to at the very least have some kind of initial WAN access.  Even if its to setup a VPN.

Strange. What sort of WAN are we talking about here?


Cheers,
Franco

In my case its not even WAN as the auto assignment wrongly assigns the port.

OPNsense running in VM, two nic's one for WAN and one for LAN, it assigns the LAN port as WAN, and vice versa and I have to wait quite a while on the live system boot, interestingly the first boot post install is much quicker.

So what happened with this? is a bit bizarre each icmp type needs its own rule.

I think OPNsense could do with an option on the console for punching an initial hole through to the UI for a specific WAN IP, I think a rule that specifically whitelists an IP is fine.  The default LAN only assumes one is running the firewall local to them so they can just access over a LAN, but this falls apart on remote installations, and adding a firewall rule in the console, when the whole software is designed to be managed from the UI is clearly not a clean way of doing it, hopefully a solution can be found.

As it stands now it is pfctl -d disable the entire firewall, then going into the UI to add some kind of management IP ACL rule for access the UI and finally turning the firewall back on with apply.

Is there a way to just boot into the installer without it attempting a live boot?

It pauses on WAN for about 15 minutes, and then stops on starting ntp service.  These problems are likely that because I am booting in a test environment where is no working WAN connection.

I have tried giving it 2 hours, and its still sitting on starting ntp service.

21.7 Legacy Series / Re: I cant work out how everyone else managed to get mtu of 1500 working on pppoe

I think the ISP maybe has to support it, also if you using a modem as a bridge, that also needs to support baby jumbo frames.  So basically all intermediate devices.

21.7 Legacy Series / Re: ZFS Health Status and Menu Coming Soon?

« on: November 30, 2021, 04:16:28 am »

Dont worry about ECC, I have a lot of experience with ZFS, was an early adopter with it on FreeBSD, and I dont commonly use ECC based hardware.

Yes a lack of ECC adds an extra risk factor in terms of data corruption, but this isnt exclusive to ZFS, it can happen on any filesystem, if anything ZFS is more likely to detect it.

Also memory reliability now days isnt what it was like decades ago, keep temperatures reasonable, dont overclock and you will be fine.

Also I dont mind contributing to a snapshots feature, but my request would be if I contribute its in the normal build of opnsense.  If not I can post some how to's on how to do it via CLI.

Scrub of death rumour seems sourced from freenas/truenas users who commonly run extremely wide risky raidz arrays.

All fixed, I was been a potato and not typing in the version number in the CLI, half a dozen updates later I am up to date.

General Discussion / upgrade path from 18.7.10 to latest

« on: September 26, 2021, 06:29:11 am »

Hi guys, got a VM on 18.7.10, it let me update to 18.7.10 from an older 18.7 fine.

Its now telling me to go to 19.1, but after I select unlock it only shows 21.x builds and I dont know if I can go directly to one of them.

Selecting update in the shell menu says no updates found.
