22.1 Legacy Series / Re: Can't write image to USB key

« on: January 29, 2022, 09:49:18 pm »

but writing USB key fail with all images
Try it again with 21.7 and it worked so is there a problem with the new image ?

It's not the first time it fails like that with opnsense images, I can't remember the last time it happened but it happened

Did someone make it work ?

What exactely do you mean by writing fails? Is the created USB media not bootable?

In that case, you might try an older version of Rufus. For me, Version 3.x managed to create non-bootalbe USB media at least from the OPNSense 21.1 image. Since then I reverted to Rufus 2.7 which does the job. Note that Version 2.7 still had a dropdown box that let you select the bootable disk type (DD Image should be the right one). Newer versions are claimed to be "smart enough" to automatically detect the bootable disk type. Obviously, they are not...

21.1 Legacy Series / Re: Freedns Updates now fail after update

The dyndns plugin was updated to utilize the FreeDNS v2 interface. Looks like that was then rolled out with 21.1.6.

v2 updates must be explicitely enabled in the FreeDNS account. This also gives a new (shorter) authentication token for the dyndns plugin.
