    @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.

    It definitely helps. SMF organizes them pretty well in the admin panel and it's easy to group the email notifications if multiple people report the same topic.

    with no technical details of how your doing it, you are likely to recieve the same amount of assistance.

    in short, explain how its done, otherwise its moot.

    Usually those specific errors are a side effect of clients sending unexpected things to a captive portal web server process.

    Those log messages, and others like them, can be turned off: Status > System Logs, Settings tab, uncheck "Log errors from the web server process".

    While this is really really stupid on Sony's part - and just really lazy.. There is one thing to have a default password, that if the user doesn't change it that is on them.  But these back doors are just horrific!!  Especially on a device that could get exposed to public internet..

    Yeah clearly more ammo on why these iot things need to be isolated and monitored, and for sure do not expose inbound traffic from the internet to them..

    Sure that's their MO.  Their software is what people want.  Whatever it comes on is another story.

    The airport software is pretty cool - but yeah not very tweaker friendly.  It's easy to keep up with mesh stuff though as it will lay out all the devices and remember their passwords and stuff.

    powershell is often microsofts favorite excuse for not making a way to do something in the actual user interface configuration system, Exchange and HyperV are notorious examples of their laziness at making good solid full featured, managable systems, as well as over-complicating things needlessly.

    Not suprised you have to resort to PS to make that happen.

    @KOM:

    Hopefully, Oracle will not screw it up that badly.

    It already was.  And that is a blessing in disguise.  Pushed me to roll my own DynDNS.  I first started with a URL based DynDNS with nsupdate on the backend.  Then later stepped up to RFC 2136 Dynamic DNS.

    Well, first off you should probably post your problem in one of the many tech support forums here.  This forum is for general discussion, as per its name.  Secondly, it looks like the mail was blocked by a virus scanner.  Are you using ClamAV?  Thirdly, if you need urgent support on demand, I might recommend that you purchase official support from the pfSense folks.

    I wanted to avoid the paywall of a NAS, and domain policy blocks network sharing. Unfortunately sharing USB via FTPs like most modern routers allow was my best bet without spending so much on a NAS.

    Thanks for the info.

    And again if you install the openvpn export package.. Download the certs there..  With the config file etc..  Or just export them directly from the user you created..

    Nothing beats them up-streaming most of the changes. Fun to note he said they were memory bandwidth limited. Darn you quad-channel DDR4! Also mentioned they're working on high performance software and hardware API packet pacing. Help keep down those pesky 40Gb line-rate bursts.
