    @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.

    @iptvcld said in Failover DNS when using external DNS server: 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!

    @Gertjan Hello again, im back after 15 days because I needed to recompile everything with the latest FreeBSD kernel. So everything is now compatible for FreeBSD 15.0 (which is the kernel of pfSense). The new file reports as : /usr/local/sbin/dhcp6c: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1, for FreeBSD 15.0 (1500012), FreeBSD-style, stripped You can see how I have done the steps to compile it here : https://github.com/Superpaul209/dhcp6c-armv7 Everything is up to date and you can find the binaries on this GitHub for arm64 and armv7 (for those who would like them if they are living in France). The installation was successful on each pfSense, after a reboot Im now having an IPv6 ! The problem was therefore one of compatibility with the kernel version which was too old. Thanks for your ideas and your help, it has solved my issue

    ok i figured it out.. i had to switch the ports on the Unraid management under >settings>Managementaccess to something other than 80 and 443. I then forwarded port 80 and 443 from the WAN to NGINX (Unraid IP). had to then set DNS resolver host overrides in PFsense for each name i wanted ie. radarr.lan, duplicacy.lan, nginx.lan, etc. Then point those to Unraid's IP for NGINX to pick them up. [image: 1714170355095-hostoverride2.png] In Nginx i just had to setup hosts for each one i wanted. For the dockers running in Unraid, i just put the 192.168.10.100, which is the Unraid IP. If they weren't Unraid dockers, i would put the IP of the machine they were running on. [image: 1714170390623-ha2.png] hope this may help someone in the future.

    @Gertjan you are a devil that only exists with ISC DHCP and not Kea DHCP. I have reverted back to ISC until the enhancements to Kea are done

    @Gertjan I have been trouble shooting since morning , then I finally did two things. 1- added domain in pfblocker-ng Host-Over ride with public IP of domain . 2- Changed my WAN ip address. Restarted resolver service now guess what website is accessible and resolved :/ and then I change back to old WAN to test if it was blocked by datacenter but it was not blocked now domain is accessible on old wan IP too. Thanks @Gertjan for your tips :). Regards
