Thanks all, I will take another look at what im doing, and how/what my hardware is, thanks!

I am used to running pfsense. But I want to migrate towards opnsense for many reasons (im sure most of you understand).

Although I am having severe difficulty getting this damned thing to boot.

When I setup a pfsense machine, I typically grab a usb flash drive, flash the embedded nanobsd image, and it boots without issue, and pretty much works perfectly for the most part.

I cant be the only one to experience this, has anyone else worked through an issue like this?

This has helped a ton.
I have tinc up and running, but not working quite right.
I can ping out to any device on the vpn, but nothing can contact my opnsense box. I have suspision that opnsense is blocking all traffic going to my tun0 interface.

How do I enable rules for my tun0 interface?

I'm passingly familiar with the tinc docs, as I use it at home, on my phone, and in my VPSs.
But your github link is exactly what I needed!

Thanks!

Hi there,

Take a look here:

https://github.com/opnsense/ports/blob/master/security/tinc/files/tincd.in#L10-L20

Actual file contents for /etc/rc.conf could be this to autostart for vpn0:

tincd_enable="YES"
tincd_cfg="vpn0"

This is also important to set up a vpn0 NETNAME config:

https://www.tinc-vpn.org/documentation/tinc.conf.5

Someone else will hopefully be able to help with the details as I don't use tinc.


Cheers,
Franco

I just got around to installing the nano amd64 to a usb, and its working wonderfully!

I installed tinc, but I am fairly new to freebsd, how do I ensure that tinc starts at boot?

Neat! In that case, install is like in FreeBSD:

# pkg install tinc

We do have some automatic hooks into /etc/rc.conf that should make services act like they are on FreeBSD (during start) and a separate framework for custom bootup scripts if that doesn't pan out. If you need those things, I can help explain.

GUI plugin for tinc isn't necessary, pfsense didn't have their GUI for tinc working at all, and the configs had to be done in terminal, which is fine.

I'll test out opnsense and see how it works!

Hi All,

I am considering moving from pfsense to opnsense. In the most recent update, pfsense has removed the "tinc" package, which I use for much of my VPN needs.

Does OPNsense support tinc? and how have been peoples experiences moving from pfsense to OPNsense?
