No updates

[Fromme]

Hello everybody,

After the upgrade and after multiple reinstallation of the version 17.7 I get at the attempt of the update always only the hint that the repo on the server, have all tried, is not present.

I'm a little helpless.

I'm having the same problem, I thought it was because I was running a transparent firewall (can't get the suricata rule sets either). Maybe this is something more widespread?

Running 17.7 as Main Router, Suricata 4.0.0.

I am going to reinstall again tonight and then see if I can update as well as download the suricata rules before configuring it as a transparent firewall. See if it's the transparent firewall configuration causing issues...

So, after reinstalling as a base system I can update both the firmware and suricata rule sets. I can also ping google.com. My wan gateway is automatically added to my upstream router. As soon as I follow the wiki and enable transparent firewall by bridging the interfaces, I can no longer reach the repositories. I can no longer ping google.com nor ping 8.8.8.8. However, I can reach the internet and web GUI from downstream interfaces. At this stage there are no gateways. If I add my upstream router as a gateway, I no longer have downstream internet access and I can no longer reach the web GUI. Any ideas?

A little off topic, but how do I upgrade to suricata 4?

FWIW, I had a bit of trouble getting Transparent Firewall to work too. Although I eventually did get it to work with help from people here in the forum. Try searching on it.

Ultimately, I resolved the problem by abandoning my Asus AC-68U as my primary router and setting up OpnSense as primary. It took additional effort getting the various parental controls set up in Opn that were just a tick box on my Asus, but it's worth it for the IDS with VPN to work together and get full throughput. Asus just bogged down with VPN, let alone have advanced pf FW and IDS.
