If, in the GUI, you delete pipes or queues from the traffic shaper, it appears that doing so does not actually flush them until a reboot is performed.  For example, if I delete a pipe from the GUI -- and then perform ipfw pipe show from a shell, the pipe I deleted is still there.  I can perform an ipfw pipe x flush to then actually delete it.  Is this expected behavior or is it a bug?

When I used pfSense, I set up a very basic CODELQ traffic shaper to reduce bufferbloat from my 101/35 connection.. I basically set a traffic value equal to my upload speed on the WAN interface, and set a traffic value of 90% of my download speed on the LAN interface.. That limited the total download speed and reduced bufferbloat significantly.

I'd like to do the same on OPNSense, and I set up a pipe according to the guide for "Limit bandwidth per user" -- only I changed it slightly to make the mask "destination".  My download speeds now are about 210Mb/s, and I wanted to limit that to about 200Mb/s, so I entered 200Mb/s in the pipe bandwidth.  I added the rule as described in the guide.  The problem I'm having is that the clients only seem to be able to use 50% of that bandwidth.

I'm probably misunderstanding something, but can someone explain how I can accomplish what I want with OPNSense? 

Thanks,

I notice in OPNsense 16.7.5-amd64 that when I attempt to display the ARP table using Interfaces..Diagnostics..ARP Table, it returns no results and the following error is thrown in the system log.. Is this a known issue?


configd.py: [25cbc080-cd79-49f4-9896-5d3180509c8f] Script action failed with Command '/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/interfaces/list_arp.py "json"' returned non-zero exit status 1 at Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/opnsense/service/modules/processhandler.py", line 477, in execute stdout=output_stream, stderr=error_stream) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 541, in check_call raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd) CalledProcessError: Command '/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/interfaces/list_arp.py "json"' returned non-zero exit status 1

Hi.. Over the weekend, I migrated my Netgate RCC-VE 2440 from pfSense to OPNSense.. I had a question on the OpenVPN client export area.. Previously, on pfSense, I could use an iOS device on my Wi-Fi network to connect to the pfSense device and then use the client export to export an OpenVPN Connect (iOS/Android) inline configuration.  The firewall would serve up the .ovpn file as a download in mobile Safari on the iOS device, where I could choose "Open In...OpenVPN", and the configuration would be imported.

With OPNSense, I still have that option -- but when I try to get the configuration, mobile Safari (and Chrome for iOS) just display a text version of the .ovpn file, instead of serving it as a download.

Is there a way to change this behavior?  The other options for OpenVPN Connect are either not very secure (i.e. send via email) or a hassle (i.e. connect to iTunes and add the .ovpn file to the shared files area for OpenVPN Connect)

Thanks,

Hi.. I tried to install fresh with 15.7 using the OPNsense-15.7_OpenSSL-serial-amd64.img installer to a Netgate RCC-VE 2440 using the instructions provided for 15.1 on Netgate's site here: http://www.netgate.com/docs/rcc-ve-2440/opnsense.html

I was able to get the console working through the install, as well as booting into single user mode after the install was completed to make the necessary changes.  However, upon the final reboot, the console reported something about default loader.conf and then dies.. Also can't access the webconfigurator and all input/output from the console ceases.

Also -- I seem to have an issue with the terminal emulation used in the Opnsense screens as opposed to pfSense in regards to the fact that I see each character in the Opnsense console followed by a LF.. Any ideas how to fix that? Doesn't happen with the same terminal settings in pfSense - I'm assuming its a problem with the serial settings?

Thanks,
Rick
