    @louis2 Hello ! Thank you for your work with pimd ! I have been able to test your pimd binary, it seem to work but I still have the same bug I discribed here When starting PIMD, after a few seconds it works as it should, seeing multicast sources and routing it if needed. But after about 3 minutes, PIMD is "loosing" multicast sources even if pfSense still receive this multicast traffic (packet capures, and network traffic). PIMD does not "receive" multicast source anymore. Restarting PIMD makes it see again multicast sources until it looses it again after about 3 minutes. @louis2 do you have the same problem ? I really do not understand why I have this

    @dennypage Thanks for the info. Yeah, it appears somewhat complicated with IPSEC. ARD works over IPSEC but without live status and system information, which is what we had hoped to get working over our old IPSEC tunnels. ARD works fully with OPENVPN for us. Has anybody else had some successes here? Thanks, Alfredo

    Indeed, not an easy way I'm aware of. I'd just reinstall clean to be honest. However you may need to wait for the 1.1 installer that has a 'low resource' mode to allow writing to a 4G eMMC.

    Unless you need to accept inbound connections there it should only be an outbound NAT rule. Even if you did have inbound connections a port forward is often better. You shouldn't need to manually add any rules though as long as the gateway is added into the new interface. That will trigger the auto outbound rule to be added.

    @SteveITS said in 2.8.0 fails to save SMTP Notification password: The test button text does say, "The last SAVED values will be used, not necessarily the values entered here." Ah, but that's not what actually happens. The just-entered new password IS used for the test, but then forgotten by the time you scroll down and "Save".

    @stephenw10 My connection dropped tonight. ISP logged it as a "Planned PPP restart". I uploaded a log to the link here. Maybe it's helpful? It was only my CityFibre connection which did not reconnect. FTTC reconnected OK. Both use PPPoE and both are with A&A. Rebooting the appliance brought it back up.

    Hmm, you should be able to check that. When you add a server there it should be added to /etc/resolv.conf. If it has a gateway set for it you should see a static route added for the server IP via that gateway in the routing table (Diag > Routes).

    @ebcdic What software/hardware are you using to publish? If you haven't looked at WeeWX, you might give it a try as it would certainly address the issue. Just a thought.

    @stephenw10 This was definitely not a button push on ours either. Both units are in locked cabinets in a colo. Any access to the facility is logged. @SteveITS As for it going to standby or hibernating, the person who went on site the LEDs were normal. Nothing indicating a state change or issue.

    @JonathanLee Would be nice if squid 7 came to pfsense, if squid is discontinued from pfsense then i guess a docker container running squid could be an option.

    @SteveITS Thanks, as I think you clarified a simple mistake I made. After you said "add/configure" the interfaces I realized I made a miscalculation of how simple it is to refresh these. The NAT/FW/DHCP tables only utilize WAN and LAN assignments and those assignments are programmed to the physical hardware. WAN currently being re0 would be igb0, LAN from re1 to igb1. So this would only take about 5 minutes. Silly of me. Thank you sir, the obvious eluded me.

    Yup you would only see states while they're still active. So if you are not seeing attacks that often you'd have to get lucky to catch it. But you should see those by filtering for: 22 [image: 1753575304735-screenshot-from-2025-07-27-01-11-58.png] What rules do you have on the VPN interface(s)? It would be unusual to see connections being forwarded to you there though.

    @Gertjan ok, thanks for the nudge, I've worked it out. I set the FritzBox to do the PPPoE and act as a router (not that I'm using the routing bit). I Fritzbox has a 192.167.178.x subnet. Give my pfSense a static IP address on that subnet. Make sure WAN interface allows "local" IP addresses. Set the "Exposed Host" setting on Fritzbox to forward all internet traffic to the pfSense box. With just the netgate doing evertyhing I was getting 560 down 900 up. With this config I'm getting 685 down, 850 up. Which feels better. Thanks for the help.
