Without captive portal, there isn't a good way to get such a list.

The DHCP leases would be the closest thing.

The ARP table will show current IPs active on the network talking to or through the firewall, but that gives no historical information, only a current view.

I don't know how you do it accessing webGUI to all interface but I did try in my end and it can't be, anyway, I'm not techie enough to see those tricks but, I am now happy because I am now able to de-access my webGUI from the LAN IP but I am able to access it alone, maybe it's too risky but I have not yet realized the risk.

While I really appreciate all the suggestions and steps and thumbs up for that, I just discovered this simple for me.

Issue Resolved after doing below steps.

1. Go to Status -> RRD Graphs -> Settings
2. remove the tick on "Enables the RRD graphing backend." and save
3. click "Reset RRD Data"
4. tick the  "Enables the RRD graphing backend." and save.
5. You will get the RRD data back. But you will lose old data which you had.

Awesome: I have been off and on again looking for this info.

Hello Members,

The problem which I experience occurs in the following configuration:

2.1-RELEASE (i386)
built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:44 EDT 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p11 Nanobsd

Snort 2.9.4.6 pkg v. 2.6.0

The FW was initially configured for sending events to a remote syslog. This was working for quite a while. I then decided to untick the remote logging box and see events in the WebGUI, but no events are shown. Do you have an idea why I can't see any events?

Thanks.
Regards
Salvo

The problem has been solved and it was described here http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,49474.msg263625.html#msg263625

Thanks to Amanth.

There is no function for this at the moment. It would be nice to be able to keep all the interface settings "running" but mark the interface as down. Useful for:
a) A WAN link that is having constant intermittent errors, coming and going, with stuff failing over and back every 5 minutes. Then it can be set to "down" until the hardware/ISP problem is properly resolved.
b) Testing - easy to take down a WAN to test and see how things fail over to other WAN/s.
This is an Open Source project - if you would like it then write it.  ;)

Thanks I will give it a try.

There is a "deny config write" permission but I believe the restore process ignores that because it doesn't actually write the config in the traditional way.

If that already doesn't work, then someone could probably add a few lines of code to the backup/restore page to deny restore if they have that permission bit set.

I just had the same problem with IE, menus disappeared, traffic graphs stopped working, dashboard -> system info -> version was stuck on 'Obtaining update status …' and cpu usage was stuck on '(Updating in 10 seconds)'.  In the meantime everything was working fine in Chrome.  It turns out I had accidentally toggled compatibility view in IE, toggled it back and everything started working again.  Not sure how well known this is, I'm fairly new to pfsense.

Have you tried this patch?

It depends. For minor/beneficial bug fixes such as this, probably in 2.1.1 and later. For more intrusive fixes, 2.2.

It has to be able to do a reverse-looup of the IP address to hostname. For hosts with DHCP leases, you can select for them to be registered in the DNS Forwarder - "Register DHCP leases in DNS forwarder" and "Register DHCP static mappings in DNS forwarder".
For other hosts (like servers on the LAN that have a static IP), if their name-to-address and address-to-name are stored in a DSN server somewhere then;
Add a domain override to send the reverse-lookup requests to  that DNS server, like rows 3 and 4 in the attached screenshot. (rows 1 and 2 are sending real domains like abc.mydomain.com and xyz.abc.mydomain.com)
For other unknown IPs, you can add a Host Overrides entry specifying the name and IP. Then the DNS Forwarder can do both forward and reverse lookup on that data.

It's not problem but I'm having the same bug with server status widget on some servers (2.0.2 and 2.1) . I get multiple similar widget windows and I don't use widescreen.

Yeah we didn't really have a more suitable icon available at the time I made it, but we could probably have our web guy make one up now. The problem is I can't think of any image that is appropriate for that action either. An up arrow isn't any more specific than the +…

I put the shortcut bar in to save time/clicks. It's more useful for flipping between status, logs, and the config than from the config to the main config page.

Hmmm.  Well - Thats a new one on me.
