    @SpecGlasses check https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/disk-lifetime.html. I think I’ve seen posts that if it’s read only it can behave like this due to ZFS caching.

    Also if you have a usb stick in it it can pull that file: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/restore-during-install.html#restore-using-the-external-configuration-locator-ecl

    Just a gateway or a default gateway. 'default' is the key word here. It would be nice if you actually show the routing table. :)

    @johnpoz Actually, I have seen many routers, but they are very complicated to set up. I have never set up a site-to-site VPN in a short period of time, but with pfSense, it was so easy, and many advanced and secure methods are available. That's why I like pfSense.
    Anyway, Thanks again!

    Some sort of internal card reader maybe? That might be USB attached. You might be able to disable that in the BIOS.

    Might be something in the UPS. Try reconnecting it after boot and see what's logged.

    Make sure you're running the latest BIOS, that one has errors in the ACPI tables:

    acpi0: <ALASKA A M I > Firmware Error (ACPI): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PC00.TXHC.RHUB.SS01], AE_NOT_FOUND (20221020/dswload2-315) ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20221020/psobject-372) Firmware Error (ACPI): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PC00.TXHC.RHUB.SS02], AE_NOT_FOUND (20221020/dswload2-315) ACPI Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20221020/psobject-372)

    Most places in the GUI simply display the interfaces in the order they are parsed in the config file. So changing them there would likely change it everywhere that counts.

    Ok yes it looks like one of your USB Ethernet devices disconnected itself for some reason:

    And the backtrace does indeed show the issue is in the ure driver:

    Which is expected if it did disconnect unexpectedly.

    Avoid USB Ethernet if at all possible.

    If a crash report exists on the other device it would be in /var/crash.

    @BassT said in switch from HAProxy Manager to pfsense haproxy:

    basst@Kubuntu-VM:~$ curl pfsense.home
    curl: (6) Could not resolve host: pfsense.home

    In that case, the pfsense is the domain (eg, pfsense.com and the home is the TLD (top level domain, eg .com). In order for that to work, you would need to set a domain of pfsense.home:

    Sometimes it holds on to records. Also have you set a rule to allow port 53 on your firewall ACL lists? Or nat ?

    No. I'm new to pfSense. please guide me on it

    Netgate has a docs page that’s amazing. I recommend you look at a configuration recipe. They have some configuration instructions like it’s a cookbook with terminology “recipe”

    Do you restrict the number of states allowed on some connections? I noticed once I said for example 1 state allowed at a time for GUI it start to speed up a lot. Some I added expire timers on like my VPNs etc.

    ACL for the HA proxy system should only have how many states??? Maybe just one as it is linked to the other proxy.

    Screenshot 2024-03-15 at 13.15.33.png

    I don't know if that helps, but some cookies kept creating multiple states for some weird reason and slowing everything down. But that was just me this fixed it for me with KEA use also.

    If your ISP is offering some sort of translation to v6 upstream then you may be able to use that. Or potentially you could host your own translation node to do that. But it would still be easier to just tunnel or encapsulate the v6 to something you host.

    The interfaces in the widget are simply parsed in the order they appear in the config. The only options there are to hide interfaces. You could potentially reorder the interfaces in the config if it's really important to you.

    Looks like just a reboot has done it. I have a backup negate box that I swapped over with the same config, so I could work on the said problem box, interestingly when SSH'd onto the unit, it was not loading the menu, but it did allow me to send the reboot command to it and after it came back up it behaved as normal - I swapped it back into the production network and all looks good. No recurrence of the error so far. Hopefully now OK.

    Thanks for your help :)

    Thank you So Much

    Will nice in near future will all some options to manage the fw & nat rules. over command line.

    right now pfsense start be used very large scale in datacenter for secure layer apps.

    can be i game changer for pfsense to be massive deploy a large scale.

    thank you

    have a nice time.

    Hmm, I was going to recommend disabling the audio hardware in the BIOS:

    hdacc0: <Realtek ALC897 HDA CODEC> at cad 0 on hdac0 hdaa0: <Realtek ALC897 Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc0 pcm0: <Realtek ALC897 (Right Analog)> at nid 20 and 24 on hdaa0 hdacc1: <Intel Kaby Lake HDA CODEC> at cad 2 on hdac0 hdaa1: <Intel Kaby Lake Audio Function Group> at nid 1 on hdacc1 pcm1: <Intel Kaby Lake (HDMI/DP 8ch)> at nid 3 on hdaa1

    But you probably can't do that in Coreboot.

    You can see in your output though that it is booting with Video as the primary console:
    Dual Console: Video Primary, Serial Secondary

    If you have a serial connection I recommend setting serial as the primary console if only because it's much easier to log and copy and output from a serial terminal.

    Since you changed nothing on pfSense (at least directly), I would go looking for the root cause in the Nutanix Cluster update process. My first guess would be during the move from node to node the Nutanix process changed something about the VNICs (could have been a MAC address, could have been something related to VLAN IDs if used, etc.). Changes to the VNIC could leave pfSense "confused" about which interface is LAN and which is WAN, for example.

    It is too early to tell but my internet fell-over today so multiple disconnects and re-connection attempts...

    ...and the router didn't crash.

    There is hope.

    Hey there, sorry for the late reply, had some personal issues and I wasn't available. I'm gonna try again and update as soon as I can. ISP is sadly still pretty unresponsive...

    Thanks again.
