Hardware and Performance / Re: TOPTON Mini PC Running OPN...

Last post by Nullman - Today at 11:56:46 AM

Ideally use SATA for storage if its possible, in my unit I couldnt as there is no m.SATA and the normal SATA power/data connectors are next to each other making them not possible to use (design flaw on the PCB).

The reason they do that is because that same PCB is used on a completely different system that has no space constraints and classic SATA drive(s) fit perfectly. Qotom does this. They have mini PCs with PCBs that have 2 or more SATA connectors that you cant really use. I mean, you can, if you dont mind your drives dangling on the cables outside the case. And then, they use same PCB on a system that has huge metal case with drive bays where you can even mount full size SATA hard drives. They cut the costs this way.

Hardware and Performance / Re: TOPTON Mini PC Running OPN...

If its a complete freeze, its 100% hardware. 

My suggestion put windows on it, use it, let it idle overnight etc, run stress tools, benchmarks etc, try to make it fall over.

I do this will all my new NUC's.

My current N100, I brought with NVME and RAM preinstalled, and it wasnt stable (primary instability was data becoming corrupted on storage silently), however it passed every test I threw at it, so ended up just replacing both NVME and RAM and it has been stable since.  The bios's on these units tend to be of low quality, so I wouldnt use any C-state above 1.

If temps in windows dont look great, then do something about it, bear in mind the thing runs hotter in FreeBSD than Windows.  I have a couple of tiny fans placed on top of my unit blowing down on it, an easy 10-15C gain, I also have a attenuator attached so the RPM is slow enough that they effectively silent.  NVME without this gets extremely hot it basically idles at its limit 70C, and ends up heating everything else inside. (on windows it has an idle state that makes it run cooler, but FreeBSD it idles in full power state)

Ideally use SATA for storage if its possible, in my unit I couldnt as there is no m.SATA and the normal SATA power/data connectors are next to each other making them not possible to use (design flaw on the PCB).

Hello Franco,

thanks for the reply.

That means the actually present rules in > Rules can be safely all deleted?

Thanks Franco,

To avoid any doubt, could the message be:

"Version x.y.z is correct for OPNsense a.b.c_d" ?

Cheers

Both work, but with 26.7 the legacy rules management GUI will be available as a plugin only. You can still use it but it won't receive any more feature updates and will eventually be removed although that could be 2-3 years from now.

So long story short: use Rules [new].

Incidentally, "Version x.y.z is correct." was added to the health audit to avoid this particular question, but it seems that this hint doesn't always work as intended.  :)

Last post by franco - Today at 09:56:29 AM

Well at least if it's locked this works ;)

# opnsense-revert pkg

Ironically the segfault is from libcurl for which we have a workaround. And pkg already abandoned libcurl to go back to libfetch in more recent 2.x.

-I am using the latest version.
-I am using a Chuwi UBox PC with AMD Ryzen™ 5 6600H.
-Open Smart 2 Port Intel I226-T2 2.5GbE PCIe X1 Ethernet Card - OPS8207NT
-Alfais 4436 M.2 Ngff SSD to PCI-e Express 4x


During the initial setup phase, it sees all the NICs as igc0 and igc1, then when installing on the disk, the system only sees igc0 and the other Realtek ones.

Hardware and Performance / Re: DEC750 NVMe thermal pad?

Last post by foxxx0 - Today at 09:19:19 AM

In some ways temps are relative metrics.
Can you explain some about the environmentals. HVAC, ambient temp, small tight room? etc.

It's placed on a shelf in my 19" rack with a bit of empty space all around it, but no active airflow, just passive convection.
(Perforated front/back doors, closed bottom/top/sides)

Room temperatures have mostly been between 21°C and 27°C these last couple of days, but the room is indeed quite small (15m² / 160ft²) with low ceiling (2.20m) that are heavily sloped for about ~1/3 of the room width.

I've been thinking of getting a small SBC that could run a GPS clock for NTP purposes and that could also gather some room and rack-front/back temperatures, but all of them have gone up in price massively ... :(


PS: yes, that is two layers of masking tape on the DEC750 power LED, it is just waaayyyy too bright.

26.1, 26,4 Series / Rules [new] vs. Rules

Last post by ks - Today at 08:41:39 AM

Hello all,

I'm running few OPNsense 26.1.8_5 firewalls, and one of these is getting me nuts.

In details the (in)famous bTicino Classe 100X16E intercom system is struggling to connect to Wi-Fi and thus internet.

After days of tests (and other devices connected to same Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz network working properly) I narrowed the issue to the specific ports this intercom system needs.

They are:
-5061 SIP
-5228 SIP
-0 to 65000 UDP
-80/ 443 HTTP/HTTPS
-8883 MQTTS

Now my question and request to help/hints is: where should I create new firewall rules in OPNsense? In the new Rules [new] tab, or in the older Rules tab?
Are they still working togheter, so I need to create rules in both?

Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks
