21.7 Legacy Series / Segmentation fault when upgrading

« on: April 24, 2022, 02:03:30 pm »

Hello,

I've been trying to upgrade my 21.7 OPNsense box, but every time I try I get a Segmentation fault during the checking phase. I also tried via shell using pkg-static but I get the same result. Here is the log:

Code: [Select]

Fetching change log information, please wait... done

This will automatically fetch all available updates and apply them.

This update requires a reboot.

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: y

Any idea what could be the issue?

20.7 Legacy Series / Does OPNsense 20.7 not support PPPoE anymore?

« on: August 06, 2020, 09:02:44 pm »

Hi,

I've been reading the 20.7 changelog and noticed this line:

o legacy MPD5 plugins os-l2tp, os-pppoe and os-pptp are no longer available

What does this mean? Is PPPoE not supported anymore?

Thanks in advance

Hardware and Performance / Recomended 4G PCIe modems

« on: March 21, 2020, 10:55:25 pm »

Hello,

I've been thinking of adding a 4G connection to my network since there doesn't seem to be a fibre connection coming in the foreseeable future and I recently saw an unlimited plan by a mobile provider.
Most modems I could find where USB ones with no indication if they are compatible with FreeBSD.
Ideally, I'd want a full-size PCIe 4G modem that I can add to the Firewall so that I don't have any extra external hardware (for ADSL I currently have an external modem).
What are the recommended modems for OPNsense?
I've already searched the forums and found nothing.

I'd really appreciate some help! Thanks.

Regards,
Mattia

16.1 Legacy Series / Route everything through a proxy

« on: April 11, 2016, 07:30:15 am »

Hi,
I was wondering if I could route all the traffic from the LAN interface through a proxy on the WAN interface.

Here is the scenario:
In every class in school there are 2-3 Ethernet ports attached to the school network. To access the internet we need to configure the proxy server and login with our credentials. What I was hoping is that if I install OPNsense on an old laptop (witch I already did) I could just create a hotspot and route everything through that proxy with a certain credential. This is when we need internet in class either through our personal laptops, tablets or cellphones. Yes, I could just attach a mini AP and let everyone configure the proxy but that wouldn't be fun, right?
First I want to get the above working and make a backup of the config so I can get back to it later if I wish.
Level 2:
We also have multiple WLANs at school for different purposes. In 4th class, we got permissions and access to connect to one of the WLANs to get to the internet. The twist: it's a Radius Network. So on my laptop, for instance, I have to get the certificate, install it, connect to the wifi with my school credentials and then also configure the proxy and login there as well. Here the same thing: I want to attach an USB wifi-dongle to route everything from the LAN Interface (the Hotspot) through the proxy at the WAN interface (that WiFi).

Any suggestions at where to start?
I got OPNsense up and running on an old laptop and did some tests at home.

Thank you!!

General Discussion / Good and cheap ADSL card for OPNSense

« on: January 22, 2016, 01:11:53 pm »

Hi people,

I'm changing my ISP at the moment and now I'm again able to use my own router (yes I was forced to use the ISPs router).
About a month and a half ago I tried to use an old PC with OPNsense as a router between the ISPs router and my LAN because it was a cool project I had in mind. I really liked OPNsense at the point that I want to use it with my new ISP and directly attache it to the ADSL line. The PC died last week for unknown reasons, I'll take a look at it today or tomorrow and try to find out what happened (and potentially repair it). I'll post what expansion types it haves ASAP.
So... Anyone knows a good but cheap (<50$ should be OK) ADSL card for OPNsense? Or does anyone know a better solution?

Thanks,
Mattia_98

EDIT:
The Computer works again, the hard disk died. I'm still with my old ISP, it seems to take a wile...
A picture of the expansion slots is in the attachment. (Sorry if I couldn't figure out what types they are, let me know if you know  )
