20.7 Legacy Series / Reporting Traffic just got more awkward

« on: January 01, 2021, 04:22:27 pm »

The recently. changed reporting traffic page lost some features.

You used to be able to easily identify heavy traffic users with individual graphs, now that's gone. 

The smooth graph looks pretty, but it's a lot less useful for dealing with user situations.

So I 'd prefer something more like the old one.

19.1 Legacy Series / Realtek interface #1 always goes to 100BastT, not gigabit

« on: March 13, 2019, 05:11:53 am »

I have a commodity board with two realtek devices.  OpnSense names one em0 and the other re0.
em0 always connects at 1000BaseT, whereas I can never get re0 to work at 1000BaseT, it always goes to 100BaseT no matter which mode I select.  It has been this ever since 19.1 was installed, prior to that it was 1000BaseT.

Speedtest.net rating have dropped from 143Mbps to 97Mbps.  So this is reflected with in the data transfer rates.

Is there something about the Realtek driver which makes it not work with 1000BaseT?

General Discussion / open connect - NAT

« on: October 11, 2018, 07:54:29 am »

I can use openconnect to connect to my work VPN.  But it just adds as a route on the opnsense device, it does not NAT me through.

So I can telnet to port 80 on devices through the VPN on the opnsense box (which I would would not be able to do from the wide internet).

But my clients cannot connect to those sites because opnsense isn't NATting the connection for my clients.

Any advice?



Thanks

18.1 Legacy Series / Virtual Servers

« on: June 30, 2018, 06:48:09 am »

I have several OpnSense systems working and liking it.

Now I would like to set up is putting servers on a private LAN connection and use the OPNsense firewall/web server to forward WAN requests to the correct LAN server.

For example, R + free Shiny for web graphics run servers on port 3838.  So I would like to run Shiny on a private LAN server and expose it through a URL redirect through opnsense firewall/web proxy server.

Is this doable with OPNsense?  It's a very powerful model because it allows you to effectively firewall your servers from attacks, traffic shape, etc.

18.1 Legacy Series / ada0 doesn't show up with 18.1

« on: March 21, 2018, 09:35:36 am »

Hi,

I have a Z Box that I wanted to run opnsense on.  It works ok from the USB stick - stayed live for 36 hour test, but I want to transfer to the hard disk so I can get updates, The boot stick has troubles trying to read the non-existent sdhc card which times out every 20 seconds, so I'd like to comment it out.  And I don't like having to boot up in safe mode every time.

The problem is, after booting from the stick (da1) , ada0 does not show up, nor any /dev/ada* drives, so I can't transfer it.

When I install normal freebsd latest binary, it works perfectly, recognizing and auto installing to ada0 and not needing safe mode.  I wonder if safe mode is needed due to the sdhc driver loading.

PFSense never laster 24 hours because the Realtek driver would fail and halt.  Of course, the dual gig ethernet cards are internal and there is no expandability for other brands.
