21.1 Legacy Series / SOLVED: traffic graph -- incorrect time used -Firefox at fault

« on: April 18, 2021, 05:08:00 am »

It appears that the traffic graph does not use the OPNsense system clock but perhaps pulls the time from the motherboard by some other method?  I say this because I recently went to the bios of the motherboard to discover it showing the same incorrect time as the traffic graph at that moment, the minutes were correct and even the date, but the clock had to be reset to 10am from 3pm in my bios.  I suspect that the cmos battery is no good, as the traffic graph continues to use an inaccurate time. ntpd works properly or the correct time would not be displayed by the system info widget. I hoped to find any config option to ignore the cmos clock but could not find anything about it while the ntpd/system time is accurate. Attached is a screenshot that illustrates the disparity.

19.7 Legacy Series / 19.7.7 update + vm.pmap.pti sysctl

« on: November 23, 2019, 12:32:47 am »

Hello!

Possibly I am in the minority of users who have AMD hardware, so when an update fails causing continuous reboot I may eventually remember that I need to solve it as below:

choose boot loader
set vm.pmap.pti=0
boot

After bootup, go to system > settings > tunables to re-create the line
tunable: vm.pmap.pti
description: annoying AMD unfriendly mitigation
value: 0

IMHO, it would be helpful if this mitigation did not cause trouble for processors other than intel, could processor be detected and sysctl automatically inserted as above? At the moment for me it is simply remembering the solution.

19.1 Legacy Series / Feature Request re: static lease duplicates(?)

« on: December 23, 2018, 10:52:49 pm »

Error "This Hostname, IP, MAC address or Client identifier already exists"
The error message implies that if any of those is duplicated, setting the static lease is prevented. 

• If a box has both ethernet and wifi, and you try to set a static lease for both forms of connectivity, it balks when the second one has an identical hostname. Any box is not limited to a single ethernet port/card, nor wifi, and neither necessarily exclusive, so shouldn't it be possible to have multiple forms of connectivity?  I believe it should issue a warning note that a duplicate hostname was attempted, with a confirmation prompt whether to keep the duplication.
• Feature req: (given the above is resolved to permit duplicate hostname)
  If the intent in the future is to reach a specific host through an IP, yes uniqueness is a good thing, but could it seek out an alternate IP/connection from those of the same hostname when one IP fails?

15.1 Legacy Series / Crash report

« on: March 05, 2015, 10:02:36 am »

Hello!

During my recent install & setup of OPNsense, the following crash report was generated, but since I also had not perfected internet connectivity by then, it could not be sent.  Perhaps such a generated report could be held somewhere when unconnected and then sent by choice or automatic?  I hope this report helps, and yes I have seen the same or very similar issue/error on pfsense.  Either some twiddle of the config or a reboot or both seems to have cleared the problem for me.
