20.7 Legacy Series / Enabled ssh / can't ssh

« on: September 11, 2020, 05:45:51 pm »

Hi all,

I'm newer to OPNSense and pulling my hair out on something.

I enabled ssh yesterday to login from my local LAN to do a speed test directly from the CLI.  I'm having speed issues and am trying to gather data to utilize in my negotiations with my ISP. 

When I pull up putty and try to connect, it just times out.  This morning, I occasionally (probably 1 out of 5 attempts) get a "connection was closed by 192.168.1.1" message instead. 

How do I start looking at this?  To my knowledge, I have enabled ssh as specified (checked password auth and listen on all interfaces -- this is to be temporary). There are no firewall rules I can see out of the norm that might be blocking such action.  When I look at the logs, I see a pass from the anti-lockout rule, but no blocks.

I reinstalled ssh on opnsense, still same issues.

I would be very grateful for any assistance anyone could provide on this one!

20.1 Legacy Series / Cannot set DNS to PiHole

« on: February 28, 2020, 07:52:20 pm »

Hello all,

I'm brand new to OPNSense as of 3 hours ago, but had been using PFSense for about 2 years.

Some hiccups in getting started, mostly because I was moving too fast I think, but I have internet and DHCP leases working now for the basics, as long as I utilize a public resolver first.

I've been using Pi Hole for years as well, and have it configured on my network with a StaticIP, but every time I try to change OPNSense to utilize it, my name resolution (and therefore internet access) break.

How can I start to troubleshoot this?  I would appreciate any guidance!  I can see the queries leave the box in the firewall, and I can see them get forwarded successfully in pihole, but it's not making it back to the clients somehow?

Also, I have no gateway setup for my LAN, I can't remember if that's right -- I think it is.
