    Hi @Tyronejackson839,
    Thanks for the awesome advice! Your ACL tips worked perfectly—enabling fragment-checking and lean rules secured my nginx webserver without sacrificing performance. Really appreciate your detailed help!

    Best,

    @70tas said in Dynamic DNS (DDNS) fails to obtain public IP:

    where do I find the xml config?

    under backup and restore - you can download the whole xml as a backup, or you can just pick the section you want. I just picked the ddns section.

    And yeah @SteveITS has a valid point, try the save & force. And deleting the cache can't hurt either.

    As to just using your script - that works too, always lots of different ways to skin any cat. But you are right, it should just work - and that it isn't can become an obsession. I have never had any issues with ddns on pfsense as far back as I can remember - and that has been quite some time. And I moved a couple of domains to cloudflare years and years ago.. And has always not been a problem. I believe I have my global token in my current pfsense main install. But have no idea what it is.. But its currently working - I believe its global because its using my email address as the username. And can't recall when last time I messed with that in pfsense has been. I know its been multiple versions some upgrades, and some clean installs with restore from backed up config. The clean installs when was when moved to zfs and when they changed the lay out of zfs volumes, etc.

    I don't do much playing with my main install since I have both a CE and + version VM I can just fire up.

    pfSense 25.07 RC

    I tried to remove Wiregard package but I got this error:

    pfSense-pkg-WireGuard removal failed!

    Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Try again later

    There is no instance running I checked

    I found those commands in another thread but it didn't work, any suggestion is welcome

    #Force an update of pkg metadata:
    sudo pkg-static -o ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 -o IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes update

    #Update pkg:
    sudo pkg-static -o ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 -o IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes upgrade -fy pkg

    #Upgrade pfSense-upgrade:
    sudo pkg-static -o ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 -o IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes upgrade -fy pfSense-upgrade

    #Check for updates in debug mode:
    sudo pfSense-upgrade -dc

    #Run the upgrade in debug mode:
    sudo pfSense-upgrade -dy

    The problem is solved; it was indeed the network cable that had a loose connection.
    It's in the trash!
    Thank you all for your help.

    It looks like unified web management could be coming soon. It would be great if it means easier control and management of all web services in one place. Let's see if any companies announce more details about it!

    @Gertjan I think your point was that pfSense is not a complete freeBSD implementation so not all FreeBSD apps will work in it. If so, it's a good one. After that I got a little confused with your explanation.

    I'm nowhere near skilled enough to build a fork of pfSense. Figuring out the dns interactions between pfSense and Adguard Home was my limit.

    Adguard Home works fine in freeBSD because they offer a freeBSD implementation and I possibly lucked out when it worked in pfSense. Although the internet said it would work because others were successful in loading it.

    Adguard Home doesn't need a gui. It uses html like pihole uses when pihole is installed in ubuntu server, my old ad blocker.

    Windows made Hyper-V / ubuntu server - pihole unstable when Microsoft was still pushing upgrades to Windows 11. Unattended restarts on my home servers would halt for an ad before Hyper-V loaded and having no dns brought down my whole network. I went back to pfBlockerNG after that but found the interface too difficult to work with when I'm on the hunt to block or unblock a new site. Adguard Home on OPNsense works good but I disliked learning a new router. They put everything in different places. Hence my efforts with pfSense and Adguard Home.

    I was thinking along the lines of apps that also did not need a gui. Sorry to be unclear about that.
