OPNsense 20.1 on RaspberryPI 3

[rene_]

Hi,

just to be sure, have you tried rebooting it, with plugged in usb lan adapter?

Yes, of course many times.

Plus, i found out, that the interfaces got unstable after an amount of time.
I use the same config on my x64 nettop, and its running two days now, but the raspi lost the connection on the interface right after 1 hour.

Oh, okay ... just asking, because theoretically this image should also run on a pi4, which has a lot more power, but i also don't ordered one yet ^^

I have a 4GB RPi4, I will let you know if this image works on RPi4.

This is interesting for me too, looking for a nice router box with plenty of power to survive QoS-ing, OpenVPN (Gigabit WAN) and all these from hardware. I think the Pi4 would suit my needs.. just got one for a different project (media player with Volumio) but if OPNSense runs on the Pi4 well, it might be powerful enough for my needs.

I don't think that a RasPi4 has enough Power. Especially OpenVPN could be a real showstopper. Take a look on ipfire here: https://wiki.ipfire.org/hardware/arm/rpi/threeplus
OpenVPN with ipfire is less than 30 Mbit on a RasPi 3B+ and AFAIK the RasPi 4 has no further improvment for OpenVPN like AES-NI.
Also the Power Consumption of the RasPi 4 is ~7W.  In this Range you also find x86-Systems. But the price tag is very interesting for a RasPi 4.

Hello, everybody,

I have the same problem as DJ_Mic, my USB-Ethernet adapter  (ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179) is not recognized by OPN.
RasPi 3 b+


The adapter works fine on FreeBSD.

Is there a solution ?

Okay, thanks for your answer, I hope you find the time.
Wish you a contemplative feast.

Did anyone tried this board with 20.1? http://www.banana-pi.org/r2.html

Downloaded and installed on a Raspberry Pi 3B about a week ago.  So far it's working great!  Thanks very much for your efforts.

Implemented inside/outside and guest (with captive portal) using a single Ethernet interface with VLAN tagging.

Has anyone gotten this working with a Pi 4 w/ 2GB RAM?

I wrote rene's image

Code Select Expand

OPNsense-201911290406-OpenSSL-arm-aarch64-RPI3.img.gz to a SD card but my Pi 4 will not boot. Just shows a solid red light.

Hello ,

Thank you for the efforts behind the product. I have a small question may be a lil too kiddish but how do we download this
https://opnsense.rene.network/FreeBSD%3A12%3Aaarch64/20.1/

As in do I need to download all files 1 by 1 and copy it to the memory card of my RPI 3B ?
Do we have some instructions on getting started, like default ID and Password. ANy specefic startup config etc?

I thank you in advance.

I tried this on a RPi4. As others noted nothing happens. There is a particular thing you have to do to the boot image to make RPi4's work. Don't ask me what it is, I have no idea.

I can confirm that the TRENDnet TU2-ET100 USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter works just fine. I got one this morning from my local Microcenter for $14.

I have the usual NATing router setup. Internet is being provided by my Netgear cellphone router (I have a Internet only SIM card). I have also set up an openVPN client connection from the RPi to my home pfSense system connected to 1gbps Verizon FiOS fibre. An Iperf3 test from my laptop in the RPi to my desktop Linux machine on the pfSense comes in at about 25mbps with no compression. Oh, and that was fun. Seems that "no compression" on the RPi OVPN settings does not turn off the compression.

I'm happy! Well done to all involved in this effort. Let me know if I can do some more testing.
