General Discussion / iso verification
Last post by lumilumi - Today at 12:18:47 AMhi! I'm brand new to this and I was wondering if I could get some help with this part of the instructions on installation --
im trying to verify my iso before installing - but I can't get this part of the instructions to work:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html#download-and-verification
If the checksums match, continue with the verification commands.
openssl base64 -d -in OPNsense-<filename>.<image>.sig -out /tmp/image.sig
openssl dgst -sha256 -verify OPNsense-<filename>.pub -signature /tmp/image.sig OPNsense-<filename>.<image>
I have changed the file name to actual file name -- but the command says:
cannot verify two files at once
I verified pub key and checksum 256 -- but this part of the commands won't work for me
any tips? i'm very new!
any help greatly appreciated

General Discussion / Re: [SOLVED]Packet received by...
Last post by Patrick M. Hausen - Today at 12:04:26 AMWhat are these devices, what OS are they running, and what is the API for network communication? The socket interface for IP/UDP/TCP is completely oblivious of MAC addresses and the OS just does everything necessary.
Just curious ;-)
Kind regards,
Patrick

Last post by Somnolus - June 01, 2026, 11:37:26 PMYes lmoore solved it, manually modifying the program to force a proper destination mac address allows the traffic to route through Opnsense correctly.

Hardware and Performance / Re: Battery Replacement: DEC74...
Last post by proformap - June 01, 2026, 09:22:51 PMIt looks like an LR44 - not certain though.
The problem is that now — about two years after buying the new DEC740 — the battery has completely disintegrated ... black pieces of material, with only the top metal cap remaining. The metal battery holder on the PCB has also partially detached on one side.
I've never seen anything like this in hardware before ... I'm asking myself what could have caused the battery to degrade like this after just two years ... I can't explain it.

Last post by sopex - June 01, 2026, 09:13:49 PMProbably a CR2032 but take a look. It is etched on it for sure.

Last post by proformap - June 01, 2026, 08:57:16 PMHi there, does anyone happen to know the exact type of the RTC/CMOS battery for DEC740 / DEC750 (Netboard A10 Gen3)?

Last post by Patrick M. Hausen - June 01, 2026, 08:47:54 PM@Monviech can you shed some light on this? The documentation still lists Extended Blocklist as a BE feature, if I am not mistaken.

German - Deutsch / Protectli VP2430 – 4x 2.5G Por...
Last post by ziegler - June 01, 2026, 08:17:02 PMHallo,
ich habe bald einen Glasfaseranschluss 600/300 und beabsichtige deshalb auf die Protectli VP2430 – 4x 2.5G Port Intel® N150 umzusteigen.
https://eu.protectli.com/product/vp2430/
Ich würde die ohne RAM und NVMe SSD nehmen weil ich noch 16 GB RAM und eine gebrauchte Samsung EVO 1G 960 Plus vorrätig habe.
Aber beim BIOS habe ich Schwierigkeiten mich zu entscheiden.
Was sollte ich da nehmen, bzw. was ist ratsam zu nehmen, das AMI Bios oder das Coreboot?
Hat ein Coreboot vielleicht Nachteile was die Hardwarekompatibilität angeht usw.?
Vielen Dank
Jan
