    @kpa said in How can I install Midnight Commander on pfSense?: It's supposedly an easy to use file manager (for being an ncurses application) but since there are better ones like Filezilla, WinSCP and others that can use an SFTP connection and offer a proper GUI on your workstation I don't see why you would want to install it on pfSense. An upfist from the future!

    @stephenw10 Things looking good. Firewall survived multiple WAN/PPPoE down events with the new pppoe module. Though, It is still a mystery why this happened in the first place before with the old pppoe module or 24.03 more precisely.

    @tinfoilmatt A domestic router, I guess, can be called a SOHO router that the average man in the street can but from their local computing shop - Linksys, TP-Link, D-Link, Draytek, Netgear etc or is supplied by your ISP. It excludes high end devices like some of the CIsco and Juniper devices and things like that. The warning is not good. It does not even point the user to the correct screen or give him any instructions. It did help me eventually narrow it down, but I consider myself way more advanced than your average user - I used work for Clearcenter providing support for ClearOS (which also resets the routing table when changing the external WAN settings).

    @stephenw10 yup that would be another way @CreationGuy but his rule above his lan allow should trigger and not log that igmp traffic.. and no other rules should be evaluated.. So it shouldn't still see the igmp traffic on his lan allow and block it because of the IP options setting.

    @stephenw10 Quick update, my isp provider came out yesterday about lunch time an replaced the card that converts the fiber to ethernet and replaced the rj45 socket. We tested with no errors and i have not seen a hang on the vault yet and it is now almost 30 hours running.

    @stephenw10 said in Two IP's from ISP, Two PFsense routers (one a vm) cannot access B from A: What lloks wrong is that site A has the same MAC for 24.71.68.1 and 24.71.68.91 Exactly, and site A was the one that had .91 before. So if there is some stale info in the ARP table then flushing it may fix it I suppose? @stephenw10 said in Two IP's from ISP, Two PFsense routers (one a vm) cannot access B from A: Edit: Good point, it could be Proxmox doing something odd. But I run that here and have never seen it do weird layer 2 stuff like that. I agree, I use Proxmox for two firewalls in a similar setup, and I have had no trouble with vtnet or direct NIC's. Although I do have a switch on the WAN, not a router. But considering that Proxmox is the one thing that is different vs site A, I'm thinking it may be part of the problem.

    @backup2 said in Can't access internet with pfsense and proton vpn: any chance you can help with this issue also? What firewall rules have you added there? There are none by default. Did you enable dhcp on the new interfaces? Are connected clients pulling an IP correctly?

    @elvisimprsntr said in PSA - AT&T Email to SMS Gateway Service Ending: If you are affected and are in need of an alternative, I switched to using Pushover: Simple Notifications for Android, iPhone, iPad, and Desktop 30-day free trial and $4.99 one time license per platform. I already updated my security system, home automation controller, and pfSense to use Pushover. Took less than 15 minutes. I’d be interested in what options others are using. There was a short discussion of this on the Ubiquiti forums. Pushover received a number of recommendations. Other options mentioned were Zapier and Telegram. Home Assistant apparently has notification support through its app. I switched over to Google Chat for notifications via a webhook (Chat webhooks require a Google Workspace account, which we already had). Straightforward to implement and working well so far. There's also an email-to-Chat interface.

    There's nothing much shown in that status output you uploaded. Mostly because the system logs are completely spammed with: Apr 13 15:42:11 bkk-fw upsmon[52386]: Poll UPS [apc] failed - Driver not connected Apr 13 15:42:16 bkk-fw upsmon[52386]: Poll UPS [apc] failed - Driver not connected Apr 13 15:42:21 bkk-fw upsmon[52386]: Poll UPS [apc] failed - Driver not connected You should disable that if the UPS isn't actually attached. You also have a number of arpmovment messages. If those are legitimate consider disabling logging those: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/logs-arp-moved.html

You should see : see above, previous post,w where I gave 1 for IPv4 and 1 for IPv6. You should see the same thing. No dpinger running == totally normal that there are no gateway logs ;) I just restarted my pfSense this morning as I upgraded to 25.03.b.20250414.1838 which came out yesterday and : [25.03-BETA][root@pfSense.bhf.tld]/root: ps aux | grep 'dpinger' root 7412 0.0 0.1 14692 3084 - Is 08:10 0:00.62 /usr/local/bin/dpinger -S -r 0 -i WAN_DHCP6 -B 2a01:dead:beef:a600:92ec:7 root 7653 0.0 0.1 14692 3084 - Is 08:10 0:00.56 /usr/local/bin/dpinger -S -r 0 -i WAN_DHCP -B 192.168.10.4 -p /var/run/d root 51651 0.0 0.1 14076 2684 0 S+ 09:23 0:00.00 grep dpinger and logs do show up for me now. Btw : the beta releases are really good ... no issues what so ever for me (vanilla dual stack pfSense. with captive portal, FreeRadius, minimal pfBlocker and some other small gadgets).

    Yes we need more information to diagnose this. Still this? https://forum.netgate.com/topic/189542/pfsense-access-interruption If so I suggest continuing there. But if you're running in hyper-V still check for the reported hveventX issue: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1207821

    First, in the GUI, stop FreeRadius. Then, in a first console access, you run radiusd -X Then, in the second (use SSH ?!) start our radtest : @laurens-DS said in Setting up FreeRADIUS on pfSense with Google LDAP and integrating with UniFi Controller: when i do a radtest In the first console, with the Radius debug log output, you can see the reason.

    I have never understood why a licence for a short duration (1 year) can not readily be moved when the old hardware is not functional (cold spare or hardware failure). Having a licence tied to hardware makes perfect sense for a long term licence (where ongoing company income comes from old hardware dying and being replaced eg Netgate hardware) but makes no sense when an annual licence fee is paid. Perhaps Netgate just dislikes selling software and really only wants to sell hardware.

    @balsal7346 said in Verizon FiOS Home Internet with CR1000A Router to use with Netgate 1100: netgate 1100 I know this is an old post, but wanted to provide my approach since I took an interest in pfsense only a couple of months ago. I found a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1sTkxxjLs&list=WL&index=2) that helped me convert the CR1000A into an access point. I configured the pfsense software using https://www.youtube.com/@NaomiBrockwellTV I plugged the ethernet cable from the ONT into the WAN port of the pfsense box. I plugged to converted CR1000A into the a network switch. I plugged the LAN port of pfsense into the switch. This way the pfsense firewall is between the Internet and the CR1000A that acts as an AP for my wireless devices since I didn't want to spend any extra for a different AP. I'm still on a steep learning curve for the pfsense software, but I have wired and wireless access to the Internet for most common activities.
