    @elfenquetsche your wanting a different PTR than what your forward is?

    If I create a A record nas.home.arpa, that points to 192.168.9.10.. This will automatically return the ptr..

    ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;nas.home.arpa. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: nas.home.arpa. 3600 IN A 192.168.9.10 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;10.9.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: 10.9.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 3452 IN PTR nas.home.arpa.

    Same would go for a AAAA record.

    Do you control this xxx.me domain? Is it public IP, is this IP owned by an ISP.. Most isps will not allow you to control the PTR for the IP space they own. Now if you own the IP space, or it has been delegated to you and you can run your own Name Servers then yeah you could control the PTRs

    Now for IPv6 space, Hurricane electric will assign you a /48 and give you complete control over the PTRs for that whole /48 space.

    You can for sure create a host override for some public domain, and that ptr would return the ptr you want.. For example - I pointed www.cnn.com to 1.2.3.4 with a host override - notice the ptr for 1.2.3.4 is points to www.cnn.com

    ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.cnn.com. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.cnn.com. 3600 IN A 1.2.3.4 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR www.cnn.com.

    @empbilly it should only have actual leases that have been handed out.

    Take a look for example - here is lease my applewatch just got

    lease 192.168.2.221 { starts 5 2024/05/10 11:57:58; ends 6 2024/05/11 11:57:58; cltt 5 2024/05/10 11:57:58; binding state active; next binding state free; rewind binding state free; hardware ethernet 7c:61:30:ad:55:47; uid "\001|a0\255UG"; client-hostname "JohnsAppleWatch"; }

    Guess you could of something going bonkers and just kept grabbing new lease all the time.. But 18k some leases, is that the size of your network - do you have anything even close to that many devices on your network.. Or was something just grabbing up leases like crazy?

    Hi!

    I removed old setting and create new ones for duckdns and now they are working... Need to check Cloudflare next.

    Yeap and Cloudflare working also ok.

    So... needed to upgrade pfsense.

    Remove old DDNS settings (just editing and force update did not work).

    Create new ones -> everything ok.

    @pfjeet said in Kea -DHCP:

    Can anyone please suggest what is option 66 and option 67 in DHCP and how it can be enabled

    You mean the Standard DHCP Options Defined in ISC DHCP and Kea ?
    As said above, if you want to use any of these, use ISC DHCP. Kea doesn't have the pfSense GUI front-end (yet) to add these options.

    Please, see my post here:

    There's alternatives for not only for this forum, but also for pfSense (Plus). As everybody knows.

    Thanks a lot anyway, I'll log off now 😊

    @dread said in How to release/renew DHCP:

    most remote areas In Europe ...

    Ah. I thought it was me.

    This site shows the progress of "ditching ADSL in progress" and "putting fiber in place" (they actually pull strings of fiber cables through trees here .... its just amazing).
    Zoom out and you'll get the entire Fiber In France picture.

    The blue space = fiber present. The white surface is the south east part of the Dordogne, one of the most tourist provinces in France (Europe). The local mayors don't give a sh*t about 'Internet'.

    You don't live that 'remote' if 4G (probably not 5G) is available to you. But your probably use one of these country side 4G installations that exists for one simple reason : so that the phone (voice) works ... data is just .... well ... no priority as these antennas have to cover a very big surface. As said above : the radio signal is weak, messy and when you start to understand how it works you will always have one final question left : How on earth can this work ?

    @dread said in How to release/renew DHCP:

    Currently my 'modem' is forced to use only 4G

    Out of my head, without looking it up : 5G radio frequencies are good for a mile or two. Beyond that, 4G is elected. Supporting 5G costs ten times the electricity of a 4G connection. Etc.

    @johnpozYes you are right and I share it. Unfortunately it's a makeshift cfg... the wireless controller system is there I have it active on Omada with 3 APs. Unfortunately, this connection exists between one house 🏠 towards the other in a distance of 300 mt aircraft .... I should buy at least two outdoor omada antennas, but at the moment I have to postpone ...

    @Antibiotic
    The start might be the very moment you created the static lease.
    The end : the day you deleted it, you will never see that date.

    Have DNS via VM, would it have any negative impact?

    No not really - it doesn't take much resources to serve up 1000 and 1000 of queries even a second..

    @Gertjan

    Thanks for that wonderful suggestion.
    I did not notice that icon.

    Actually, the icon was already lit up on device that has active lease, which i all are black until i scroll down to see other status, I just need to get the list of active one's. tried to put "online" query on Search term and voila!

    Reason why i need to get numbers of active device daily for a period of time to see how many are connected for a particular project.

    Thanks you very much!
