Hello, I'm still reading up on and troubleshooting out the issue, but I'm struggling with perhaps some of the basics behind an mPCIE modem and PPP.
For starters all the carrier documentation, just says to use their APN and then enable roaming. Which on a Netgear LM1200, that works as expected. However when I follow the opnsense documentation:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cellular.html

Everything seems great up until actually enabling it and checking the logs (see attached).
One thing I've noticed is articles where people are talking about how PPP isn't capable of 4G speeds, and that has me wondering if there's some basics here I'm by chance missing. The carrier doesn't have username/password options, they simply send out a SIM, and tell you to enable roaming and use their APN.

Any help, or points in the right direction would be great. Thanks!

Hey so I want to occasionally reset an interface based on internet availability or not, I'll likely end up having to setup a custom script but before that I noticed a "Periodic Interface Reset" command under the default Settings-Cron. My question is where would I go to see exactly what that does, and what parameters it might accept?

So I've been following this article (which I love the documentation on this firewall).
https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipsec-s2s-route.html

The problem becomes when I get to the point of adding a Gateway, I don't have IPSEC as an option for the interface. Thinking maybe I could be crafty, I went to check the interfaces but I don't have an option for it either unfortunately in the interfaces....even though I have a currently connected tunnel. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hey All,

I'm having some odd issues with Rainbow Six Siege, and I know it sounds crazy but I was really hoping maybe someone here could help.
Apparently in Rainbow Six if you invite a friend to group, it attempts to join your networks directly. Yes directly, I can see his IP actively trying to communicate with mine (when inviting) via the log.
I know for sure it's my firewall setup because when I bypass and connect directly to internet (receiving WAN IP), it works without issue. Yes I know this isn't ideal for sure, but I had to make sure it wasn't Rainbow 6.

I've forwarded all the ports suggested here:
https://support.ubi.com/en-us/Faqs/000024695/Connectivity-Troubleshooting-PC-R6S

And I've enabled UPnP as someone had suggested to turn it off and back on (mine was never on).

My hope/question is as follows:
Is there anyone here who can think of anything else that might need to typically be turned on/off or configured for most (if not all) video games to typically work?

Thanks,

Hey guys,

So for starters, I think I'm in love with opnsense. I had previously tried pfsense but found it way to cumbersome, vs opnsense which has been easy to navigate, looks clean (an understatement for sure). I think I've even got our network admin to fall in love with it. :)

I recently received an airave and have had issues trying to get it setup.
For starters, Sprint seems to want it on the edge, but that isn't going to happen. So I finally got them to give me the ports. And afterwards configured my firewall's port forwarding as shown in my screenshot*. Of course it added allow rules in the firewall (beautiful feature btw).

My only concern at this point is that when I go to canyouseeme, and punch in port 500, it claims it to be closed. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sam

EDIT: Worth noting that my modem is in transparent bridge mode, so it should not be a factor.
