Hello @gertjan! Thank you very much for clearing out my doubts. This was troubling me for quite a while that why there's a restriction in changing management interface. Even after adding management 127.0.0.1 7505 directive using Custom Options, the OpenVPN instance on pfSense always used a UNIX socket. (It opens a UNIX socket with IP address as name) Because ..... that is the way how the Dashboard Server VPN widget 'scans' the OpenVPN server so it can update the dashboard info about a current connections. This is the crucial information I was missing. I will check the documentation again to confirm if it is already mentioned there. If not, I will open an issue/pull request to add this. But now, I want to take a dive into the implementation of the "scan client" feature and would like to investigate why usage of TCP ports has been ruled out completely. It will be really helpful if you can provide links to related code or documentation which can give me a starting point. Again, thanks a lot. :)

@jimp Thank you, new thread is here

It does appear to be a similar case to exit notify for point-to-point modes. In "sever" mode (SSL/TLS with a tunnel network larger than /30) it considers Inactive to only apply to client sessions and not the server itself. In point-to-point mode (client or server are ambiguous to OpenVPN) it terminates the process on inactivity. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12219

@jimp said in 2.5.2-release still has OpenVPN Site2Site Bug with explicit-exit-notify: In the meantime, you can always use the Service Watchdog package to restart the service when it has stopped. Ah didn't think of that. Normally I'm more "solve the problem, don't restart" type of engineer but you're right, if the other side is "wrongdoing" and there's nothing we can do - so be it :/

@jimp thanks jim

Normally you would not edit files in that way on the firewall directly. Many of us work in one of the following ways: Edit remotely by loading and saving over ssh or scp which is supported by many popular editors Edit a file in a local copy of the Git repository and then copy the edited file to the firewall by scp Edit a file in a local copy of the Git repository and then load the file in Diagnostics > Edit File and paste the new content Making minor/simple on the firewall directly changes using vi, ee, or Diagnostics > Edit File without extra steps

Thanks for the hint!

@gabacho4 said in Way to track outstanding issues with 21.05 development for testing and verification?: @jegr this the reason I apologized in advance! Thanks for steering me too the right place. No offense taken :) It just happened I got the same question in the german subforum so knew where to link to right away ;)

@Gertjan That can be seconds, minutes, or even days later. The date and time of the error is known : 16-May-2021 18:27:29 While the date is known, as presented by the given error, it doesn't present why this condition was given. For instance a long string or invalid string char or possibly mem exceeded error. I still missunder stood the question ? That can happen. Do you have more information ? It seems that way. I was asking how to proceed to report the bug, contrary to received a work around on how to do something that anyone with basic system knowledge can accomplished. You asked for it : a part of the diagnose is : you issued a command that had more then 500 Mbytes of text output. Look at the line 174 of that file : the output of the command you entered is redirected in a file, and the quantity of that output overflows 500+ Mbytes. PHP goes belly up. Thanks, this is very helpful and what I was looking for. An explanation of what cause a mem exhaustion is what I was looking for. There is no way of knowing how many bytes a (unknown) shell command produces upfront. So there is no safety net. Is it possible to check mem utilization and recycle the input to it? Or, perhaps, create a dynamic mem allocation instead of statically assigned? Unfortunately, PHP is not exactly my cup of tea. Actually : there is one : [image: 1621403268330-fd6e67a7-54cd-4357-9df0-84b464eda1e0-image.png] As amusing this might look, this is not exactly a checkpoint. The heading won't prevent the form from crashing!! Define advance user!! True. A GUI type of interface will never totally replace the usage of a command line interface. The console access (or SSH access) always exist, for that reason. Mac OS still has one, as Windows 10. Totally in agreement 1000%. Btw : what did you do on that "Diagnostics > Command Prompt" ? That is the million $$ question. The CLI is used instead of the diag page. Is there a way to trace back the commands ran on the given date? I'm not a Netgate employee or a pfSense coder, just a pfSense user like you. Understood! Thank you for all the info provided.

Bump!

There does seem to be some testing being done. https://github.com/MonkWho/pfatt/issues/41#issuecomment-826134521 Redmine: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11453 Positive/Negative responses to testing is encouraged. Request mod bump this over to dev category: https://forum.netgate.com/category/28/development

@patch said in 2.5.1 RC - LAN traffic graph not working: a drop down menu in "Traffic Graph" Graph Settings I was actually talking about the widgets in dashboard.

Yea I'm not seeing any way to run code after pkg has released its lock on the database. Will keep thinking on it. Of course I can lock the package manually at some point later when pkg isn't also running an install, which might work.

@zeronine have you looked at https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards?search=Pfsense%20&orderBy=downloads&direction=desc
