24.7 Production Series / MultiWAN: PPPoE on FTTH + FWA (same ISP)

« on: November 05, 2024, 12:27:05 pm »

Hi,

I have an FTTH primary connection and a backup FWA line. Both via PPPoE, with the same ISP.
When I set MultiWAN, the upstream gw is the same for both, and I noticed some weird issues with routing.

I've already setup MultiWAN in the past, never had issues, but I was never in a condition like this with the same upstream gw for both connections.

I spoke with the ISP support, they told me that I should switch to an active/passive configuration, that means that the FWA interface should come online and negotiate PPPoE session only when the FTTH is down.

Right now the default multiwan configuration is active/active. Can I configure it like support is asking? So OPNsense should bring up the FWA interface only when FTTH is down.

Thanks for any help on this.

24.7 Production Series / Annoying error in the logs

« on: August 21, 2024, 08:29:17 pm »

I have this error that is filling the log:

Code: [Select]

2024-08-21T20:20:30 Error opnsense /usr/local/sbin/pluginctl: The command `/usr/local/sbin/ifinfo 'wg1'' failed to execute

I guess it's related to the WireGuard interface, but I don't use WG and have it disabled. I tried enabling it (without any configuration) but the error in the log is still present.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks.

24.1 Legacy Series / Upgrade to 24.1: only 2 minor issues

« on: January 30, 2024, 09:02:33 pm »

Upgrade went fine. The only two minor issues were

- the os-firewall and os-wireguard plugins missing message, solved by resetting local conflict
- this message regarding libevent/openssl when checking for updates:

Code: [Select]

All repositories are up to date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)

***DONE***
I think I can safely ignore it, but I thought to report it, just in case.

Thanks for this release.

23.7 Legacy Series / Port Forward issue (port 443) is getting me crazy

« on: September 04, 2023, 04:56:15 pm »

I'm using a Port Forward rule for ports 80/443 that redirects traffic to my homelab's internal Traefik instance.

This has worked perfectly for last 2y. All of the sudden, 2 days ago I was receiving alerts from my cloud uptime-kuma instance that port TCP/443 was not reachable from the internet anymore.

I started debugging, and with the live log viewer I can see traffic coming in on port 80, but when I test port 443 from the internet, I see no log entries of traffic coming in.

I thought it could be the SFP or something "before" OPNsense that is blocking the traffic (it's a PPPoE FTTH connection), but after rebooting the ONT/SFP I still see no traffic coming in port TCP/443 on OPNsense.

Since I was getting crazy, I even rebooted the core LAN switch, to no effect.

I hope someone can point me to a way to debug this, I'm not sure it's OPNsense, because if it was I should at least see traffic in the logs. I can't understand why I see it on all ports except for 443.

I have many port fowarding rules for various services and they're working fine, and I can see traffic in live log for those, but nothing for port TCP/443. One thing to note: port UDP/443 works, I can see traffic coming in there.

Thanks for any help on this...it's driving me crazy.

23.1 Legacy Series / Upgraded to 23.1.r2: no LAN ip after reboot

« on: January 23, 2023, 05:16:26 am »

Hi,

I upgraded to 23.1.r2, everything seemed to go fine as usual. After reboot, no errors, but I noticed in the console menu where the interfaces with their IPs are listed that the LAN interface had no IP assigned.

I reloaded the services from the menu, and the ip was assigned. Everything good. So I rebooted to check if it was just an incident, but the same behaviour: no IP assigned to LAN on boot.

The LAN interface is of type LAGG with static ip configuration. Working since 2y without an issue.

Reloading services works everytime, but obviously it's not an ideal scenario in case I'm not home and the fw reboots (power loss, etc.).

Any hint of what to look for to further debug the issue?

Thanks for any help.

21.7 Legacy Series / API endpoints for realtime traffic and interface uptime (PPPoE)

« on: November 09, 2021, 03:31:06 pm »

Hi,

I'm trying to extract the info in subject to feed my Home Assistant. I spent a some hours with Postman trying several endpoints (Diagnostics, Interfaces, etc.) as per API docs, but couldn't find the bits I need.

Specifically, I need DL/UL traffic rate and the WAN_FTTH interface (PPPoE type) uptime and status (connected/disconnected).

Here's a couple of screenshots with the highlighted info I'm looking for.





Thanks for any help, hope to be able to solve this.
