[franco]

Just double-checking...

Hi.

By the way, I had this bug in 18.1.r1 but now it seems to be working.  I had to create the /var/db/aliastable directory manually and perform the alias refresh after each reboot.  Now with 18.1.r2 it seems to be working with my current configuration.  I will test it a bit more and let you know if the issue appears again.

There seems to be one more which is probably the one that bit marjohn56:

I'll work on this in the next two days.

Thanks to all for the help and patience :)

This should help:

# opnsense-patch bba40c97 947718b

So before i test (I'm now home)

We are using 18.1rc2 with

[franco]

Yes, 18.1.r2 and these two patches on top in that particular order.

Ok its working

I had to go into the alias section of GUI and re-save one of them first then re-apply,

After reboot its survived but it seemed to take a while for my servers to be accessible from outside my LAN. It may be that 4G link I was using was slow. But i did notice that my CPU load on the lobby dashboard was quiet high for a while almost implying the firewall was busy doing something - Alias table rebuild maybe

I'll leave it a while then give it another reboot and check if the same happens

That's a couple of OKs now from different directions, good. Only one issue left in the tracker, then we are ready for tomorrows code freeze.... hopefully.  8)

Just rebooted noticed again that after reboot the CPU usage is circa 25% for 3-4 minutes that drops to the more normal 3-4%. Never noticed this at 17.7.11, but it may have been the same. Also during this time the servers are very sluggish to requests from WAN again not something I'd observed before but may have been the same. Once the CPU has calmed down though all is working as expected and back to normal.

So maybe there is a little bit of sub optimal process intensive stuff going on at 18.1 compared to 17

once your at 18.1.r2 from console issue

opnsense-patch bba40c97 947718b

@cardins2u: Yes, run the command on top of 18.1.r2.

@nivek1612: I noticed this too today. Even on 17.7.12 where nothing changed. I'm guessing GeoIP alias?

You are correct o wise one:-) GeoIP alias for both IPv4 and IPv6 are in use

[franco]

Ok, yeah, heavy stuff. The truth is the new system is a wee bit better as it does not completely stall bootup anymore. That gave me a good scare this morning on 17.7.12. :D
