    On a bare metal install, had the same issue (though I noticed it as odd CPU activity).

    Slightly contrary to the notes on the Redmine ticket, I had "Host Resources" available on the GUI (and active before and after upgrade).  Unchecking it at Services -> SNMP and ensuring that SNMP has restarted fixed the issue for me.

    Right. I was saying it should accept none there, at least if it is possible to do an override like that in ISC dhcpd.

    That would be a feature request.

    Yeah, a static config of that single host seems like a workaround in your case.

    @marjohn56:

    Only one NIC??

    How are you planning to run that then?

    with a dlink dgs 1100-8 … it is managed and i have used it before on another pfsense setup with 2 vlans, worked fine but it was a hole computer and i am trying to make it more compact with this mini-pc I already have.

    @aloksinha2001:

    2.4.0-RELEASE (amd64)
    built on Tue Oct 10 06:43:01 CDT 2017
    FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p19

    That installation is broken, the 2.4 release uses FreeBSD 11.1 not 10.3. Do a fresh install and restore a config backup, or reconfigure it by hand.

    At first on this topic, for sure you may be able to walk down the road as you need it or want it.
    You may be able to configure each WAN Port (Wan1 & WAN2) as a unique or single WAN interface
    and then you set up on the clients in the LAN the gateway for reaching WAN1 on some clients and
    the other clients will be getting the gateway Address fro reaching WAN 2 to have access to the
    Internet.

    But this might be killing all abilities that pfSense is serving you to get more out of you both Internet connections.
    What is if one gateway fails, and what if this is only for one day? Are you willing to change that even and even again?

    Yesterday I changed my pfSense configuration. I added a second gateway (WAN1) to connect to the Internet from LAN1. WAN2 is for LAN2 and GLAN.

    What please is GLAN? And why you are setting up not two VLANs?
    Is there on each LAN port one LAN configured?

    The first thing I did was I added an interface and configured it as PPPoE (both of them are PPPoE). Then in the firewall rules I configured which interface to use which gateway.

    As stated above you may be able to set up each gateway as you want or must do, or in short on your own willing.
    But you can also get the chance to set up like all other with more benefit on top of this too!
    You have normally three well known load balancing methods and they are for spreading the pakcets, services
    or also different IP networks over two more WAN interfaces.

    Policy based routing
    This is what I would suggest in your and the most common situations Session based routing
    This more or less for many servers inside of an DMZ or LAN that must be connected. Services based routing
    This is more or less for routing the mail service over one gateway and the http stuff over another different one
    to spread the traffic over the right matching gateway or ISP.

    So with policy based routing you are able to tell the,  wich packet should be running over which interface.
    And with one or two fail over rules on top, the entire traffic is running over one WAN interface because
    the other one was failing or plain not working due to a net split at the ISP or what ever.

    But then I ran into a problem. As you can see on one of the screenshots Gateway WAN1's Status is "unknown" and the other values are "pending".

    Would you please so friendly and place them here inside of the forum in your thread?

    Is there any way to fix this? I thought, that this error comes up because both of them have the same Gateway-IP-Adress.

    Each gateway has its own ip address and not two of them has the same! Over which the packets should be going
    outside to the Internet?

    I already tried changing the Monitor IP in Gateways, but then the Gateway's show up as offline (I can still access the Internet). I can't change the Gateway-Adress, as it is set to dynamic.

    ??? Could it be that you are confound the public IP address and the WAN gateway address?

    I don't want any failover or load balancing, if that changes anything.

    Would you please tell us why not?

    I would suggest the following here:

    Read it slow and carefully but line for line and word for word Multi-WAN 2.0 Gateway Groups Policy based routing Gateway settings

    This might you binging light into that behavior or case you are in. Pleas take the time of perhaps 30 minutes
    to read it, and that carefully and as said slow, then you would having all you need to realize it.
    system -> Routing -> Gateway Groups

    Create a first group with description name "BALANCE", And set Tier 1 for both "wan's" and Trigger level to "latency or packet loss" [this for load balance]"

    Create a second group, description name "Wan1 Fail Wan2 Use"  and priority set wan1 to Tier1 and wan2 to Tier2, set "Trigger level" to member down.

    Create a third group, description name "Wan2 Fail Wan1 use" and priority set wan1 to Tier2 and Wan2 to Tier1, set "Trigger level" to member down.

    Firewall Rules –> LAN, you need to create a three new rules

    Balance rule
    Interfaces: Lan
    Protocol: ANY
    Source: LAN SUBNET
    Destination ports: ANY
    Gateway;BALANCE

    Failover rule
    Interfaces: Lan
    Protocol: ANY
    Source Address: ANY
    Destination ports: ANY
    Gateway;Wan1 Fail Wan2 Use

    Failover rule
    Interfaces: Lan
    Protocol: ANY
    Source Address: ANY
    Destination ports: ANY
    Gateway;Wan2 Fail Wan1 use

    Make sure to place them on top of the lan rules!

    So where that rule is located is important. Screenshots would definitely help.

    me too here, I would consider that will be the right way to help out. Many users see what they
    were setting up but we all must imagine it, or digging it out the nose step by step.

    I have 3Access Points (AP) which is plugged into our switch, which is plugged to our pfsense and internet cable is plugged into pfsense.

    Are they configured with one SSID only or are there more od them (SSIDs)?

    The previous guy before me have AP IP under pfsense -> firewall and under destination section he have selected 'LAN net' under type.

    Again are there also other SSIDs perhaps on top of this each in hois own VLAN with his own IP address range?

    Is this required? our AP is plugged into switch which is a LAN network so I have have to specify it again on pfsense?

    If he was setting up aliases for LAN, Guest and other SSIDs, it might be making sense but if not and
    only one SSID is in usage it can be also a "placebo" rule with no effect, or in plain a false rule.

    Am I missing something?

    VLANs in usage?
    How many SSIDs?
    Captive Portal in usage too?
    radius Server in usage too, but not in all VLANs or for all SSIDs?

    You seem to have forgotten the close code bracket or it got cut off – your post is really really long ;)

    I see the start code bracket so if the end bracket was there code would of been in a smaller scrollable window..  I do believe.

    You might want to edit the post so future readers will not have to scroll down pages and pages to read the thread ;)

    Other option with such long amount of info would of been to attach txt file..

  • VPN Recommendations for pfSense?

    Hello,

    like many ISP subscribers, I'm behind a DS-Lite type connection with globally routable IPv6, and no public IPv4 address (IPv4 connectivity through IPv6 softwires to CGN). All VPN providers I tried up to now sucked, because they either lack IPv6 support entirely, or implement it only partially or incorrectly. All this resuling in copious IPv6 leaks all over the place. Since I need to connect to IPv6 servers too, following the advice of the VPN providers to simply disable IPv6 isn't an option.

    I'm still waiting for a decent VPN provider with up-to-date (full) IPv6 support. Even something like perfect-privacy.com isn't there yet, since they claim to be able to multiplex IPv6 and IPv4 traffic over the same IPv4 tunnel, but according to their tech support, they don't yet implement IPv6 envelopes, i.e. tunnels to IPv6 servers running openvpn bypassing those pesky CGNs.

    Or maybe things have improved since I last checked? Any suggestions for decent IPv6 VPNs highly appreciated.

    when you nest aliases, the CIDR is ignored on that line.

    Just enter the alias name, it will figure out the rest internally.

    It means the repository metadata was updated, it's what keeps track of how your update branches work under System > Update, Update Settings tab.

    In this case, it means we changed the repository data such that if you select "Development Snapshots" you can move to 2.4.1 snapshots. We usually keep that pointed at the same target as stable for a while post-release, but in this case we're having a very short dev cycle for 2.4.1 so we are switching it back sooner.

    huh??  Dude really at a loss to what your trying to accomplish here..

    If your just going to source nat all these clients at your site A.. Why not just set the server to all allow the IPs from that site?

    As to a connection coming into your server via a port forward I assume.. Why would you want to make that look like to the server it is coming from a specific IP?  Why not just allows the IPs it might come from in this server as well?
