    You can edit /etc/inc/services.inc, it is a PHP file related to the dhcpdv6.conf and dhcpd.conf

    @choin, I concur with Derelict. I gave up using wireless bridges years ago for exactly the reasons you describe. In a word, they suck.
    They also generally have very tiny MAC address learning capability, so if you have more than a few distinct MAC addresses on either side of the bridge it craps out.
    Maybe there exists some unaffordable industrial equipment that works, but all the familiar names don't seem to have anything that works.
    My 2¢.

    You don't want your AP acting like its own DHCP server. You just want it acting as a bridge from wifi to LAN or VLAN. Glad to hear your DHCP clients are now showing up. I'll have to remember that setting.

    Your VPN issue should be a new thread in the proper forum, perhaps the OpenVPN forum.

    @sonic369 said in How to setup DNS Server:

    Do we have any resolve ?

    Why asking here ?

    You instructed your pfSense it should hand out 8.8.8.8 as a DNS for your LAN clients.
    Then you shut down the DNS Forwarder/Resolver, even for pfSense itself.
    Now, if the communication to "8.8.8.8" and "8.8.4.4" goes bad, you'll be having a bad "Internet" experience.

    @sonic369 said in How to setup DNS Server:

    Today i have problem and i don't understand this DNS for PfSense.

    Well .. what about not giving any private stuff like DNS request to Google and friends ?
    (or did you sign some contract with them ?)
    Go back to the defaults settings and you will meet the DNS experience of pfSense.
    => It plain works out of the box.

    edit : @sonic369 : I've read you other 4 posts. Is that "issue" solved (you breaking the entire access to the Internet, and thus among that : DNS ...) ?
    Really, use the default values, you'll be fine.

    I want to keep my server in the same network range as the rest of my network that is off the 1st port from that card.

    So you want to bridge your sfp ports?

    So do that..

    idk what option 243 is for
    i don't think this dhcp options have anything to do with your problem but the only way to know for sure is to use wireshark and see what happen if you don't have anything else in the log

    @ttmcmurry said in Is it possible to view entries in the DNS cache?:

    The log entry with the deny was from 10.10.50.50:<random> to 52.38.239.161:443, Flag TCP:A.

    Well that is out of state, that is not a syn.. These are normal for sessions that have expired, or if the states on the firewall have been reset.

    Say for example if you wan went down for a say even a minute, and you have it set to reset all states on a loss of wan (which I think is default?).. Now your client doesn't know this - so he thinks hey I was talking to 52.x.x.x just a few minutes ago - and now I want to continue the connection, so send just Ack..

    Pfsense says hey wait just a sec there guy - there is no state for that = BLOCK..

    You clearly got something odd going on there with all of those easy rules.. Why are you setting those.. Most of that is just noise that should be dropped, not going to go anywhere anyway. LLMNR is name resolution noise for L2 only..

    Same shit goes for the WS discovery and mdns - these are all L2 protocols that pfsense can not do anything with anyway.

    None of those rules should come into play at all anyway since your bottom any any rule would allow that traffic to not be logged anyway.

    After running for the last week I haven't had any issues with not having a failover DHCP server defined.

    Each firewall takes over their duties as expected when their partner isn't available.

    I would like to get some final confirmation though; if anyone has been through this (CARP + DHCP server failover) please tell me if my setup seems strange.

    Yeah I wouldn't see as an issue if you had actual connection with them... They prob not going to do it if you have the 200 a month "business" connection ;)

    You should also be able to leverage that a colo somewhere, etc.

    While yes selling bigger chunks is easier we just sold off some space - and pretty sure they were would go as low as /24s - how many /24s do you have total? And are you looking to sell all of them off.. I could send you contact I have... We did 3 different deals with them for 3 different chunks of space over the last year.. Went real smooth. Our smallest block was a /19
