    You might be able to make that work. I'd look at the methods described here first though:

    Not uncommon if you have VLANs, for example, for each tennant in a building.

    @johnpoz No joke. I started using pfSense when 2.6 was current, pretty soon after its release, and I was getting concerned that no updates came out for like a year. It was a relief when 2.7 arrived and the two point releases that followed.

    @Gblenn said in WAN not getting IP address from 192.168.0.x:

    Why would you not be "allowed" to change things on the LAN side of your router?? That is "your zone" and not something the ISP should have a say about. Are they claiming they will not support you if you do?

    If I was an ISP, I would consider doing just that !
    No more need to support (financially) an expensive help desk !

    They could post a web site with just a one line help text :

    When you received our router, after connecting it, it worked fine.
    So : here is the help : don't change anything anymore.

    😊

    edit : the real question is : why would you even call these guys to subscribe with them ^^

    @jhg said in WAN Link Down causes pfSense to stop responding on LAN?:

    OK, I installed the most recent kmod driver for FreeBSD 14

    You have to use a module built against the actual kernel in pfSense. The realtek-kmod pkg is in our repo to provide that. So remove that pkg from FreeBSD and just 'pkg install' it from our repo.

    Got it (finally :-) I should have realized pfSense would have its own repos in the list. kldstat now shows the module loaded. We'll see if the problem goes away.
    Thanks

    👻 I know this an old thread....But, it appears that your statement, "Cable/DOCSIS Modem under load, and you've got a VPN on top of that", is spot on. I recently updated my Netgear DOCSIS 3.0 to a used/like new Motorola DOCSIS 3.1 from eBay for a few coins 😊 And thus far, I haven't received the frequent error messages, listed above in my first post, after ten days. It appears that this issues has been resolved, albeit it only has been 10 days with this new modem. I used to experience the error messages frequently almost daily and at least every couple days. My suspicion was always the cable modem since that particular Netgear cable modem uses the controversial Intel chipset instead of the Broadcom chipset, but the pfSense log confused the matter because it showed both the cable modem and my VPN were potential culprits. I pulled the trigger because the Motorola cable modem was such a good deal to pass up. Thanks for pointing out the cable modem was the most likely the culprit!👻

    It will create a new cert if you run that command. It will be the same type of cert as the initial one but not actually the same so you would need to agree to allow it again as you do when you first connect.

    pfBlockerNG MaxMind - MaxMind now requires a License Key! Review the IP tab: MaxMind settings for more information. @ 2024-02-29 16:15:40

    Once an hour.
    I have turned off everything I can find about IP.

    I think it now also requires an Account ID in addition to the License Key be provided to download updates. I think this new requirement took effect in January of this year.

    I had to make a recent change in the Suricata IDS/IPS package because of the MaxMind authentication API change.

    @Jhosin running some 10.x network on the same L2 network as your 192.168 network not really isolating them.. You need to physically isolate these networks.. Or you need to vlan them..

    While you can run multiple IP ranges on the same L2 - this does not provide for actual isolation.. If you are worried about device X accessing device Y, they really need to be actually on different L2 network.. Not just different IP ranges.

    There isn't really anything specific to that.

    On the 2100 you would need to add the VLAN interface in pfSense. Then add that VLAN ID as tagged in the switch setup so it's passed through to the AP.

    And of course add the VLAN to the AP but that's in the Unifi config.

    Mmm, might not be possible then. If you had enabled Auto Config Backup that would have it.
