I have serial console set as my primary console in settings and it's no longer working.

I've checked the device, cable, and serial port are all fine. When I restart I can see output from the serial port (OPNsense splashscreen and and device loading lines on boot up) but after OPNsense loads the serial console stops responding. No console menu for login and no response to keyboard commands.

The serial console used to work fine, but some recent update changed that. I see in the change log some mention of "system: better logic for serial console options -h and -D" is there something I need set to restore the serial console functionality?

Is there a log or error message I can view to see why os-dyndns plugin is showing as misconfigured when I check the Plugins status page?



This plugin has so few settings so I'm unsure how it can be misconfigured. It's seems to be working and all my DDNS properly resolve.

Hello,

After upgrade to 20.7, VnStat is no longer displaying bandwidth information. I have tried to resolve this via restarting the plugin and also removing the interface and re-adding it. Seems I am also not the only user with this issue as I have found a post on reddit with same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNsenseFirewall/comments/i747py/has_anyones_vnstat_stop_working_after_207_update/

Screenshot of settings and issue below:

Figure 1 - Settings in VnStat


Figure 2 - No hourly bandwidth data being captured or displayed


Figure 3 - No bandwidth data being captured or displayed. Issue started after 20.7, was able to fix it on the 8/15/2020 but issue returned.

[Reconfigure a plugin facility - ?]

Is there a Wiki page or something that explains how to use the different cron commands when creating a cron job via the WebGUI?

Some of the commands seem very straightforward but others I am not sure what they do or if they require other parameters. For example there is a command for "Remote Backup", but where do I set the remote backup location?

Commands:

• Automatic firmware update -  self-explanatory
• Regenrate DH parameters - self-explanatory
• Reconfigure a plugin facility - ?
• Update and reload intrusion detection rules - self-explanatory
• Update and reload firewall aliases - self-explanatory, but is this redundant? Aliases have expiry field, what does the cron command vs the alias expire field do?
• Issue a reboot - self-explanatory
• Download and reload external proxy ACLs - self-explanatory
• Download external proxy ACLs - self-explanatory
• Reload intrusion detection rules - self-explanatory
• Dynamic DNS Update - self-explanatory, but is this redundant? The Dynamic DNS client already performs update.
• Firmware changelog update - ? Are parameters needed for this? How are notifications handled?
• Periodic interface reset - ? Are parameters needed for this?
• Remote backup - Self-explanatory, but unclear how to setup. Are parameters needed for this?
