@andyrh said in How to set PfSense to do auto re-reboot in 5 minutes or [any min] after power was auto restored.: That is a reboot loop. yes true ! thanks for the reminder ;) quick n dirty not always gonna work like a charm brNP

@steveits got ya. I’ll give it a shot later today. Thanks again

But did the device with MAC XYZ actually pull that IP? And do either of those MACs appear in the ARP table?

@kom Nope, that doesn't work either I'm afraid What DOES work is selecting option 2 from menu, then re-entering ip address for LAN, and hey presto it's enabled again :) Thanks for your help in this, much appreciated regards

@habitat said in Internet speeds throttled: which was originally for a very specialized immersive art installation Yeah, I guess you'd need CAT 6 for that.

@stephenw10 Yes i saw that at all website . i uncheck the following options in dns resolver configuration : Register DHCP leases in the DNS Resolver Register DHCP static mappings in the DNS Resolver and its working normaly now .THANKS for your suggestions

@thatguy Hello there, thanks for your help, although I do not understand where the code to be copy-pasted is, could you guide me please since I am still a noob at programming.

@stephenw10 I know where the Backup/Restore It does not respond The only way it responds if I ssh to pfsense And selects there the option of restore Which is actually the same thing but there it responds If I change a setting to something specific and it does not work So I return it to the same thing that was before It should work without doing a restore What's happening now When I change the settings of ipv6 And it does not fit (the Internet is disconnected) I change back to the same settings as before The settings change but the link to the Internet remains disconnected The internet link only comes back if I do a restore

Typically your LAN will actually be 1GbE capable and your WAN would be less. Often a lot less. So I was use the Realtek on the WAN where it probably won't be passing as much traffic. Of course the LAN will be passing the same speed unless you add VLANs etc but that would also be a reason to use the Intel NIC there. Steve

I'd be surprised if you can allow access from the WAN side of the wifi mesh somehow. They must offer some control there? This thing? https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/support/wireless-routers/ax3-quad-core/ And you have a number of them? Steve

@daddygo said in pfSense: online and pingable upstream gateway via PPPoE but no internet: I guess the DNS server override is checked Nope it isn't The DNS Resolution Behavior is also set to "Use remote DNS servers, Ignore local DNS" this will help you in many ways https://www.vikash.nl/setup-pfblockerng-python-mode-with-pfsense/ Will check it out tnx! I used Lawrence Systems on youtube's guide on configuring pfBlocker and other areas.

@cudgel Reach out to Netgate support. This is a known issue with some hardware in 2440. I've had two boxes replaced by Netgate under warranty, albeit this was 2-3 years ago. YMMV.

@nazuro Why are you using VLAN 11? Here, my main LAN & SSID are untagged, native. My guest Wifi is on VLAN 3. This means I configure VLAN 3 on pfsense, my AP and switch ports connected to pfsense and my AP. That's all it takes. Only use the VLANs to add additional SSIDs. And when you do that use the same VLAN ID all the way.

@cbch said in Internet Connection causes pings to fail: just adding another NAT adapter to my PFSense router did the job Why would you do that? You really should not have to nat in your vmhost.. For setting up a lab in vm tied to physical network(s) you would use bridge interface in vm network. This ties the vm to the physical world the host is connected to on that interface. If your vms do not need to be tied to physical world via an interface, and say route through pfsense vm to get to the real world. Then the vm network in that case would normally be host only networks.

Reset the settings to default which didn't help. But I looked at the issue with a fresher brain this morning and wondered whether my WAN & LAN port assignments weren't backwards. I'm embarrassed to say that they were, although it's because when I installed 2.5.1 the older gigabit was renamed from re0 to re1, and the new port was named re0. Really stupid that I didn't test this before but wanted to share learning in case someone else tries to Google this issue and doesn't think of testing assignments. With the gigabit ethernet port now installed, I am STILL not getting 200mbps (still throttled to 100mbps) so am still hunting for a solution but will probably start a new thread to focus on that if I don't find what I need in search. Thanks again Kom.

@kush I am happy that you find the solution ans shared with us. I know feeling frustrated with problem especially when no one there to help you. But the worst frustration came from people that created many user ids to bully you. Someone said, you can tell the trees by their fruits. The employees behaviors reflect the company.

@droidus if you are using for business network then I suggest to buy Netgate products. But for home user and in this Covid situation, just buy mini PC (min spec. i5 or ryzen5 with 4g memory) with dual nic. Tip, don't run your main pfsense on virtual machine. Security is a problem with hypervisor. Example of mini PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnG-CB0w4zE

@bensense you need to disable or replace or delete your aliases in all your floating and interfaces rules. Then you can delete your aliases.

@dimnovotny there are bugs on new pfsense releases that effect some packages.
