Whats this error about

[JoK]

I guess I need direct acces to my opnsense box with monitor and keyboard....is this the only way??

[Patrick M. Hausen]

No. Use SSH to log in. You need an SSH client for your desktop system, comes included in Linux, Mac OS and Windows 10 and later.

Enable the SSH service in your OPNsense UI: System > Settings > Administration

Open a terminal/command window on your desktop. Enter

Code Select Expand

ssh root@<ip of your opnsense>
plus the enter key.

Enter your password. If you are greeted by a menu, pick "8" for "shell". You now have a command prompt on your OPNsense.

Its "Secure shell" enable, right?? I get an erorr when i do that. "Not intended for server use"

[Patrick M. Hausen]

System > Settings > Administration

See screenshot. You probably need to enable password authentication, too.

[JoK]

I give up...I get an error more....

[Patrick M. Hausen]

This does not make sense - it does not apply to SSH at all. Something else in your settings above that SSH section is broken. Probably something about the configured SSL cert for the UI.

It looks like my prefix setting for igc0 is 56, it should be 64....is it possible to change that

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Of course. That's what that error message is telling you all along.
if you need help then please show the settings for igc0 in the UI.

[JoK]

This??

[Patrick M. Hausen]

In the UI navigate to Interfaces > LAN. These settings. The whole page of them.

Thanks for your kind and patience, help...but I have had it!!!!! I set the IPV6 in LAN and WAN to "None" and set the FW rule that normally pass IPV6, to BLOCK, in stead....that should do the trick, dont need IPV6 and dont want to spend more time on it.

No more errors in the log...problem SOLVED 🤣

Thanks again

NB. This sounds weird, but pages load faster online..
