18.1 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Tunnelbroker IPv6 Issue

« on: April 23, 2018, 03:02:20 pm »

Hi All

Can any of you helpful lot tell me why my HE Tunnelbroker IPv6 connection will drop within a few minutes of rebooting Opnsense, running version 18.1.6?

It works fine for a short time after I reboot Opnsense, IPv6 test site gives me 10/10 for IPv6 connectivity, but then it seems to give up and can't access some internet sites, particularly Google, Gmail and Tunnelbroker, although a lot of other websites will load.

Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix would be greatly appreciated. Happy to give any other info should that be of use, just let me know what you need.

Many thanks in advance.

18.1 Legacy Series / Setup a manual cap on internet speeds

« on: April 20, 2018, 02:24:59 pm »

Hi All

Just wondering if any of you helpful guys can tell me if it's possible to manually cap my incoming internet download and upload speeds, and if so how would I go about doing this?

I'm currently running a Billion 8800NL as a bridge modem, connected to an Opnsense firewall, which then feeds a gigabit ethernet switch which is used to provide internet access to wired devices and also sends internet access to my Asus RT-AC86U and RT-AC51U which are both in access point mode used for wireless devices. As the Billion and Asus devices are in bridge and/or access point modes, a lot of their features are disabled, meaning the only device that seems likely to be able to do this would be my Opnsense firewall. From what I've researched it seems I need to configure Traffic Shaping within Opnsense, but the guide seems more specific to limiting speeds to individual devices, and not to an internet connection as a whole.

If there is any advice on how to do this, if it can be done, I'd be very grateful to know.

Many thanks in advance.

18.1 Legacy Series / Opnsense PlayStation NAT Type Issue

« on: March 19, 2018, 04:31:59 pm »

Hi All

Hoping any of you guys can help shed light on a NAT issue I'm having with my PlayStation consoles running through Opnsense.

I used to run Opnsense on my network, but had to revert back to pfSense as for some reason running Opnsense would set my PS consoles to NAT type 3, which would limit use of my PS consoles. By default PlayStation recommend NAT type 2, and this is easily achievable on pfSense by checking the following options in the UPnP & NAT-PMP Settings:

- Enable UPnP & NAT-PMP
- Allow UPnP Port Mapping
- Allow NAT-PMP Port Mapping

Selecting these options on pfSense gives my consoles the recommended NAT type (2) needed to perform all online functions, however selecting the same settings on Opnsense still makes the PS consoles connect with NAT type 3 and limits PS console use.

I'm probably missing something really basic, I'm not the most technically minded person, but I would be grateful if someone out there could point me in the right direction to make Opnsense allow NAT type 2 from my PS consoles.

Many thanks in advance

18.1 Legacy Series / Access Bios

« on: February 10, 2018, 11:45:54 am »

Hi All

I'm new to Opnsense, and up until now I've been very happy with how it performs. I thought I'd ditch the old PC I was using to run Opnsense and change to one of these nifty little Qotom mini PC's, which is running really well, apart from one slight problem. I'm not sure if I've put this in the right forum section but I was wondering, and hoping, if anyone out there can help me with an issue regarding not being able to access the bios of my Qotom Q220S running Opnsense 18.1.1

I've tried repeated rebooting in Opnsense console to access bios using every 'F' key on the keyboard, and using the 'Delete' key which is the Qotom default, but nothing seems to allow me access to the bios. Also, when I try to hit the space bar to pause the Opnsense boot loader that doesn't work either.

I want to be able to access the bios to change the fan idle settings, but not being able to access the bios will likely cause other issues in the future should I want to restore the Qotom to default as I wont be able to change any boot options, and boot from USB for example.

Any thoughts, advice and help on this would be greatly appreciated.
