    @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.

    @MasterX-BKC-:

    The story that i created this to sell is nonsense, i do sell it now

    We have been very clear about this, you cannot use our resources to advertise your services. There was a lengthy pfmonitor thread here until you revealed it will not be free. Because you changed your project to commercial we were forced to lock and eventually remove the pfmonitor thread. We left with an explanation on the pfmonitor thread long enough so everyone who have been using it could reach out to you.

    Moderation has been very fair to you even though we were aware of how will it end. You're welcome to use your own resources and audience for services you provide. You cannot use our forums to sell your software. Your continued passive aggressive remarks towards us have been noted.

    Are you running pfSense in transparent mode? Because your subnets are the same on both interfaces.

    Very dangerous territory to play around in if you are not experienced and if you don't have a configuration backup, but you can fix the problem by hand-editing the config.xml file in /conf.  So before you do anything else, go to DIAGNOSTICS > BACKUP AND RESTORE and create a configuration backup.

    The pertinent section looks like this in the file: (note that yours will be different as you have different widgets enabled)

    <widgets><sequence>system_information:col1:open,interfaces:col1:open,log:col2:open,services_status:col2:open,nut_status:col2:open,snort_alerts:col2:open</sequence></widgets>

    The code deciphers as follows – you have the widget name followed by the column it resides in on the screen and then a value to indicate if the widget is "open" or "closed" (visible or hidden).  The fields for a given widget are delimited by colons, and the widget entries themselves are delimited by commas.  Fine the errant widgets, delete them from the <sequence>element key, and then save the edited file.

    The boot sequence can't be made take advantage of parallel execution easily because there is very strict order in which certain things have to be initialized in because the boot sequence must accommodate many different boot methods and configurations. You might be able to run one or two part in parallel here and there but overall the sequence can not be altered.

    @Gaurav202mehta:

    24 hours power supply

    This means you need server mid-range proliant not an entry level. You need ProLiant DL20 or ML110 or similar that have TWO hot-swap PSUs, that you can change ONLINE and this means real "24 hours power supply" in combination with UPS and may be diesel generator (SDMO).

    "Some DMZ implementations will forward ALL non-matched traffic to the DMZ target"

    What sort of garbage device would do that??  That would be just insane!!  Your talking some BS soho 20$ router with a dmz host function.. And then why in the would would said host then source nat that and send it back out?  That is just Batshit crazy talk ;)

  • FreeBSD 11.1 - Compressed ARC

    My understanding of compressed ARC is LZ4 is so freaking fast that memory bandwidth is the bottleneck more than the CPU. Even all-managed C# code can give several GiB/s. Optimized C code is many factors faster if not a magnitude.

    I actually tested LZ4 for handling web-requests for a project of mine. For large requests, it was actually faster to stream in the web response to a memory stream compressed with LZ4 than it was to leave it uncompressed. I assume smaller requests fit in cache and do not benefit. The break even point was around 128KiB. Never made it to prod because most of our responses are less than 128KiB and the increased complexity was not worth the minor increase in performance for our 99.9th percentile. It drastically complicated seeking, which we rarely need, but great for forward only streaming.

    @razzfazz:

    Also note that the driver apparently supports QAT 1.6 (Coleto Creek; i.e., the PCIe add-in cards) only; i.e., no love for Rangeley / C2x58.

    Based on that thread here I was also digging for news about that and I found this thread here on reddit 2 month ago, but
    how sad now I am standing on the same point as before, its really odd how much more news are available, how more
    confused I am really about that theme. Here is the link to that discussion on Reddit.com

    1st comment
    The QAT units in the existing SG-series routers will likely never be supported in pfSense. (They work in linux.)
    The CPIC card will be, as well as any C3000 units that we sell, that support QAT (not all C3000 CPUs have QAT)
    AES-NI is your friend

    2nd comment
    yes.
    that said, there is a QAT 1.5 driver for netbsd, so not all hope is lost.

    3rd comment
    The new SG-2320 and SG-2340 are for low/mid options like SG-2220 and SG-2440 (no QAT on 2220 either). While still
    quite capable, they aren't targeted at that sort of market which requires QAT. They do have AES-NI and are future proof.

    What do you think about?

  • Rc.linkup: Hotplug event detected for LAN(lan) static IP

    Is this a USB to LAN network adapter?

    What would be the cause of creating hotplug in pfsense?

    in Normal this indicates that the connection is lost because the cable or link is not present there, something likes
    someone is pulling the LAN cable out. It can be also dust inside the jack or plug of the card and the contacts will
    be not really closed together or a broken and LAN cable or wire will be getting contact and loose it then again.
    Also a speed auto negotiation miss match can be there, have a look on that. Some cable have some clips
    that they will not be pulled or slip out by semthelf

    Is it possible that there's a IP conflict?

    If it will be a static one, it could be based on a typo also from the DHCP server IP range and this will then end
    up in a network loop, or will be rejected by the pfSense system.

    Anyone else has encountered this issue before?

    All written above, but mostly together with an USB to LAN adapter.

    so why is maximum speed stuck at 2.26Ghz???

    In the last 6 month some other users were also complaining and asking about that cpu max. speed here,
    I actually don´t find one back to show up and link on, mostly the cpu max. was showing something around
    2001MHz as the maximum but the CPU was able to archive 2,3GHz or more. But all was ending up, that this
    is not so easily to get rid of that problem reading out all different CPU methods, nothing more.

    no other changes have been made.

    Perhaps the default numbers are inside of the BIOS for CPU clock speed and/or RAM speed?
    I would have a look at there and then forget it if you can´t solve this, even on the named above problems
    some peoples from the staff where saying that they can´t do anything. And based on that I am pretty sure
    you will be only shown the false number by pfSense and your CPUs are all right running from 2,93GHz - 3,33GHz.

    ASLR only changes the offset of a system call. Exploiters can probe for this. KARL randomizes the location of system calls relative to each other, making it difficult for the exploiter to know which system call they're making. Instead of trying to hide in an open field, you're trying to hide in a crowd.

    Hi, I'm also trying to use PfSense inside OpenStack.
    I'm able to start the VM and the interfaces seem to be configured correctly. Anyway I'm always having an error running pfctl -o basic -f /tmp/rules.debug

    /tmp/rules.debug:18: cannot define table bogons: Invalid argument pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded

    Have you faced this?

    224.0.0.0/24 is an IP block for the local broadcast domain. Port 5353 seems to be associated with iTunes.

    Maybe your ISP is allowing broadcast traffic.
