Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Nginx Plugin Changes In Web Interface Aren't Working

« on: January 31, 2022, 10:35:00 pm »

I'm currently running 21.7.7 and am using the Nginx plugin to manage reverse proxy on my network. When I make a change in the web interface then check the nginx.conf file it is not writing my changes to there. This means the only way I've been able to do anything with it is to manually edit the nginx.conf file. So for things like increasing the max size of uploads or currently I'm attempting to add a new server to the reverse proxy but none of my changes are being written to it. Do I need to make a copy of the file for backup and delete it and hope it recreates the file and actually writes to it or is there something else that I should be checking here? I'm willing to provide whatever info is necessary.

21.1 Legacy Series / OPNsense not relaying Pings or DNS to WAN

« on: July 21, 2021, 07:41:19 pm »

I upgraded to 21.1.8_1 a couple days ago and things were working fine. I started noticing today that my Linux systems were unable to run updates because all repos are not responding. I started doing some additional testing by just verifying that pings to the firewall work. When trying to ping to the internet though OPNsense responds even though OPNsense should be handing out PiHole as the DNS to the network. When OPNsense responds it just says host unreachable but it does not attempt to relay the pings to the WAN it just immediately says they're unreachable. This was confirmed through a tcpdump both on LAN and WAN side. OPNsense itself can ping the internet and DNS resolves without an issue. Anybody have some recommendations of what to check since my configuration has not changed in months but I did check them anyways to confirm.

General Discussion / How To Build From Source For Different Architecture

« on: October 01, 2020, 10:51:35 pm »

I've recently got my hands on a Juniper SRX210 for free and seeing that it uses linux uboot to then boot into freebsd I wanted to see if it would be possible to get a build of OPNsense that would work on this. I'd love to get my OPNsense off of my server and back on to it's own hardware so it's more convenient on the family if I work on the server and take it down I don't take the internet with it. The cpu is mips based it's one of the Octeon family processors but I don't remember the exact one. I know that OPNsense has mips technically built in through freebsd but is only built for x86. I've got basically no experience with doing a build from source so I want to see if anybody else may have some experience that could assist with this crazy project of mine. My goal is to get a bootable serial installer for mips architecture. I've setup a freebsd VM that would be my build machine and have added mips into the build.conf file but it fails since I know there are several additional edits that would be needed to do this. If anybody has some time or wants to throw some pointers my way I would greatly appreciate it.
