General Discussion / Re: UPnP issues?
June 28, 2020, 04:55:44 PM
You can enable upnp on lan and then add a rule like allow 88-65535 x.x.x.x/24 2000-65535 to the settings. After that you only need to add each device to outbound nat with a static port.

Upnp plugin?

Yes! good catch. needs nat pnp disabled correct?
Edit: Rather, What needs to be configured for them to play nicely together?
Edit 2: nvm, I helped myself to some quick google-fu and found out what I was doing wrong. Of course the 1900 port won't work...smh its for upnp lol

Sorry to hijack but I figured this would be the best place to post this:
I'm trying to enable port 5353 for chromecast etc, but the service won't start. Relevant log locations? same for port 1900.
Quick edit, Disabling the mdns repeater service allows me to start the 5353 forwarder but 1900 still doesn't start

Hardware and Performance / Re: Speedstep

Should be an option in the Bios that will let you disable speedstep. You're also not going to see any boost clocks until you max out the cpu usage anyway.

Sorry to necro this post but I didn't see anyone suggest manually setting the interfaces to 1000 BaseT full duplex. I had a similar issue where I was being limited to about 100Mbps. Turns out, OPNsense (or one of my other devices) was auto negotiating a lower speed. Setting it manually instantly fixed my issue.

@mb any chance you'll provide a lifetime pricing model that would work to provide some of the more advanced features to home labbers with a small number of users instead of the monthly subscription model?

Sounds fantastic! Good to see the adoption rate increasing at a healthy rate. I did encounter this error but it seems you are already aware of the issue:


***ERROR: Indices could not be created! Reporting may not work***



Is there a temp workaround? I assume uninstalling the package and reinstalling would work?

Edit:I've just seen https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=10268.0 where the issue is addressed. apologies for the necro.

I wanted to bump this and say I'm still encountering the issue with the same rule set on version 18.7.7. Everything works just fine as long as that specific rule set isn't loaded. Re-downloading doesn't fix the issue.

18.7 Legacy Series / PIE AQM
November 20, 2018, 05:43:11 AM
Hello all.
I have noticed that PIE is an advanced option in the Shaper now. https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=6948.0
Since the Wiki hasn't been updated in a while, can someone give me a rundown of the little differences? I've read over https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8033/?include_text=1 but I'm fuzzy on the practical, real-world effects of the method.

I just replied to your email with the download link to v .6 and didnt realize that the hardware requirements had changed. This is Awesome! But I have one small request. I use a system with 12 GB ram now for my opnsense install. Previously, I was using 16 GB since sensei requires it but I never noticed my ram usage go over 8 GB. My environment is only about 4 users with maybe 20 total devices connected at once but rarely being used all at the same time (think SOHO network). Is there any way to add an option for a smaller network like mine or is there some way I can bypass the 16GB minimum requirement?

Am I totally tripping here? have they always been 8GB minimum? I could have sworn when I tried to install the last version it stopped me since I only had 12 GB... I'm probably crazy lol
#27
bump, i'm also curious. My bridge will respect download limits but not upload. every configuration I've attempted is introducing at least 400ms bufferbloat to the line.

Thanks you guys! I don't have a large userbase but I'll definitely report anything I come across. So far I really like it. My main goal at the moment is to see how it plays with squid and caching. I'm also using suricata and clamAV. I noticed a mention of some issues with suricata but that you were aware and working on a fix.
Edit I've seen a few people on 200Mb connections but I haven't seen many at 1Gb. Are you planning to add traffic shaping abilities? based on category?

General Discussion / Re: Question on Firewall Rules
August 11, 2018, 09:18:18 AM
Did you reboot after you finalized your initial rule entries? And did you then reboot before or after adding them the second time around? It sounds like you either needed a reboot or you set something incorrectly the first time around.
