General Discussion / Serial Console via SOL

« on: March 23, 2019, 01:44:17 am »

I'm trying to set up the serial console to dump out to the SOL interface so I can access it via IPMI. How do I specify which serial port to use in the OPNsense interface? So far I can get the bootloader and kernel messages, but then everything goes away on the serial connection. I have a SMC X9SCi-LN4F... Thanks in advance for any tips!

General Discussion / BIND/Unbound/DoT leakage

« on: March 08, 2019, 03:02:42 am »

Hello,

I set up Unbound recently to encrypt my DNS requests to 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.10. I then setup a NAT rule to push any port 53 request back to localhost for Unbound to grab and encrypt. This works as expected.

The next part is to set the kids' devices to use BIND so that I can use some of the DNSBLs there as well as force safe-search for Google, Bing, etc. I'm doing this with another NAT rule which works great. What I want is for BIND to forward requests to Unbound so that the non-blacklisted requests are encrypted. I guess I don't understand the "DNS Forwarders" field? Right now BIND is just hitting the Internet itself to look these up even though I have 127.0.0.1 in the "DNS Forwarders" field. I see them via tcpdump.

Is there any way to get this done?

Thanks so much!

18.7 Legacy Series / enable PAE

Not sure if this is possible. I assume I would need to recompile the kernel completely, but I have a Sossaman machine with 8GB of RAM, but only 4 shows up. I assume I need to enable PAE to get that to work.
