    @microserfs and what IP was that - clearly your current IPv6 address is not block that I show you connected with.. And the only other IPv4 I see you using is not blocked.. You would have to let me know what IP you were coming from that was blocked.. Send it to me via PM if you don't want to make it public.

    Name it "run.sh", copy to pf and chmod according documentation
    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/development/boot-commands.html#shell-script-option
    You will see messages in the system log like those quoted in the script after logger command.

    Check the source: https://github.com/callmekass/pfSense-palenight

    It's just one css file saved in the css themes folder.

    I raised it, we shall see. I believe the issue we hit last time was one of economics rather than a technical problem. Maybe that has changed.

  • Poor wifi performance after upgrade of mesh system

    I was stumbling over that thread here and want to give my "two cents" on top of that.

    A real WiFi MESH network is using the HWMP (protocol)
    to guaranty a good working together between the devices
    with out no problems. "Some" vendors, as an example MikroTik, are setting up there own HWMP such HWMPplus
    from MikroTik, so it is not compatible to any other or normal HWMP protocol and only there own hardware,
    will work "nice" together. So if other vendors now also
    do something like that, configuring out there own version
    of the HWMP (protocol) it can be that then devices there
    are not only from one vendor, getting problems out here.

    I have no idea, I've never seen either of those devices. šŸ˜‰

    I'd suggest asking on the F5 forum.

    @lhoust

    Have any other pfSense+ Users been flagged for Commercial TeamViewer Usage, even though they were NOT paying themselves to access their own Computers (on an Occasional Basis)???

    Nope. Use it for my mothers machine and we are both behind a pfsense instance.

    @chpalmer Wished I could but at approx $400 plus taxes for a temporary service, I'll have to pass. T-Mobile support suggested to try the Arcadyan box and I am waiting to receive it. The Fast 5688W appears to be designed around offering the WIFI 6...got better speed but that bypass my robust firewall so, no way.

    @oguruma

    First place I would have a look at the Netgate store if there
    will be something (devices) matching your needs or according to your whole situation. If not you could;

    Devices from the Netgate store Qotom mini PCs on Alibaba HSIPC devices on amazon.xy older Intel J1900 devices on eBay used Atom till Xeon E3 servers at eBay or refurbished elsewhere

    There will be for sure something that is matching your budget and fitting your needs. But without knowing
    your entire use case or installation you will do, we are all
    only doing guesswork here. So perhaps you may provide us with some more informations about your usage case!?

    Internet speed, provider DSL, VDSL, Fiber,..... Packets for installation like snort, Squid & SquidGuard,
    pfBlocker-NG, ClamAV, cellular,....... OpnVPN, WireGuard or plain IPSec?

    @johnpoz

    The github ip's seems to have been removed from the list , the pfSense would only have logged those if they were in there.
    dhylands.github.io has address 185.199.108.153
    dhylands.github.io has address 185.199.110.153
    dhylands.github.io has address 185.199.111.153
    dhylands.github.io has address 185.199.109.153

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpgpi250/piholemanual/master/DOHipv4.txt
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpgpi250/piholemanual/master/DOHexceptionsIPv4.txt

    Here i suppose

    Mar 23 12:30:55 php-cgi 6601 rc.update_urltables: /etc/rc.update_urltables: Updated UA_DOH_IPV4_JGPI content from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpgpi250/piholemanual/master/DOHipv4.txt: 80 addresses added.

    But as mentioned above .. It got us to dig a bit deeper in FF and DOH (prevention).

    And i have learned a lesson in "blindly trust" external lists.

    But it's only the 2'nd time in like a year, that i have had issues w. that list.
    So it seems OK'ish

    Hmm, well likely something sent a gratuitous ARP for every IP somehow. Or pfSense queries everything but that would really only happen if you ran a scan.
    As I said it's just odd though it's unlikely to hurt anything.

    @michmoor what would it take you 3 seconds to know if pihole is not answering, or unbound is not answering?

    if dns is not working and I query unbound, and it works - its pretty much a given that pihole is the problem ;)

    I don't recall pihole ever going down btw ;) And while some users report issues with unbound - I can not recall the last time I had any issues with it, mine never restarts, unless I do it on purpose sort of thing. Nor does it just stop.. Both have been pretty rock solid if you ask me.. Then again I am not loading 47 million things into dnsbl, nor do I forward, and sure and the hell if I did forward it wouldn't be doing it over tls nor would I be having dnssec set if I forwarded. And I don't register dhcp clients either, where unbound needs to restart every few minutes because some update to a dhcp client ;)

    And my isp is pretty much rock solid..

    I always have a cmd prompt open, it takes what 3 seconds to do a dig directly to pfsense IP vs the default dns of unbound.

    I currently show unbound up for 12 hours, I made some adjustments this morning to my static reservations for some lightbulbs and needed to change some names, so unbound restarted. Other than my changes I pretty sure unbound would be running for the last 20 and half days.. which is the time pfsense has been up.

  • Installing MC on FreeBDS 11.3 (pfSense 2.4.5)

    @stephenw10 said in Installing MC on FreeBDS 11.3 (pfSense 2.4.5):

    If it's a 3100 (armv7/v6) that makes it even more difficult.

    It is simply impossible because indeed, the Netgate box has the arm CPU and I run pfSense in a virtual machine on Linux x64 i.e. compiled binaries are absolutely incompatible.
    Either way, I upgraded 2.3.5 (running mc) to 2.4.4.3 and later to 2.4.5. Obviously I had to change the paths to pfSense repositories before each upgrade but eventually all worked out just fine.

    I would like to thank Netgate staff for not killing the repositories with deprecated/outdated versions of pfSense and making them available to their users !
