So, der Umzug ist dann endlich auch mal durch...

Gerade läuft erst mal alles notdürftig auf einer Fritzbox, aber nervt wenn man besser gewohnt ist :)

Die eigentliche Frage des OP war für mich eher, wie er möglichst einfach von seiner alten Installation auf die neue Protectli migrieren kann.

Tatsächlich ist die Installation nicht sooo alt, ich habe nur noch nicht von die zwei Legacy Geschichten mit dem IPv6 und DHCP migriert, der Rest sollte okay sein...

I don't really get it yet. Do I need to do something before I upgrade?

It's good that this will be taken to the FreeBSD maintainers as feedback because although the actual commands to update the bootloader are simple, arriving at the correct ones requires some arcane knowledge.  It's not well documented.  The FreeBSD handbook has barely one sentence about it and links out to various man pages.  Good luck to any beginners.

@opn_mndr12101 Update the boot loaders on both devices and you can keep the plugin.

Because it is a complex timing issue that manifests itself only under specific circumstances.

General Discussion / Re: Migration to dnsmasq guida...

Last post by klinebau - Today at 09:44:29 PM

If you used these instructions to setup dnsmasq, then dnsmasq would be configured with a different port (53035) than unbound (53).  This way, only unbound is used for normal dns and other clients cannot access dnsmasq via 53053 unless you create a rule for it.  The instructions also discuss reverse lookups which is basically done the way you have already configured.

Edit: link to instructions:  https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/dnsmasq.html

26.7 Series / Two (almost) identical system,...

Last post by opn_mndr12101 - Today at 09:39:18 PM

I just ran into that microcode issue. I have two (almost) identical devices, TK Edge 4L and TK Edge4Go¹, both Intel Celeron J3455. The Edge 4L is affected by this issue, TK Edge4Go is not. Should I remove os-cpu-microcode-intel from the working Edge4Go, too?
Why is one affected, the other not?
