    @bingo600 said in Unifi controller on pfsense?: Right .. But in a multi floor building w. a Vlan for each floor. It's pretty cool to just be wandering around with your lappy , and a VoIP call wo. a drop. I don't like the price (WLC) , but love the feature. I first heard of such a system about 11 - 12 years ago. I don't recall the make, but they called it a "blanket". Each AP had to be connected directly back to the controller, without even a switch in between. Back in 2005 I was working at IBM (my 2nd time there) supporting a major U.S. telecom. One woman called in complaining that the Wifi didn't work in the parking garage, an area that specifically didn't have Wifi. She didn't want to accept that as an answer.

    If it's a supernet to include a number of subnets that's fine. As long as there is a reason for using it. You'd be surprised how many people believe there are only 3 private subnets available. Steve

    Ah, never mind. Figured it out. Wasn't exactly my fault. One of the lists I had added had suddenly included a block for github which is the location for many of my other lists... so many that I thought all or almost all were suddenly failing. The whole SSL thing was a red herring. DNSBL was blocking DNSBL list updates. Once I figured out the offending list, I disabled it and redid the downloads and everything is happy again now.

    In the shaping wizard there was an option for VoIP and has one enter the remote IPs. Otherwise there's not a great way for pfSense to know what is VoIP traffic. And since you don't know what IPs all of those use it becomes difficult to maintain. One option might be to prioritize all UDP traffic from your device using those services, but there is a caveat noted in the docs, that the shaper works on outgoing traffic and on the WAN (upload) that happens after NAT. So you can't use your private IPs in the rule that applies the outgoing shaping. What you can do is tag the packets from those IPs, and use that tag. https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/trafficshaper/advanced.html#shaper-rule-matching-tips rule with source of your PC IP: [image: 1605803792376-e59b8ab6-0347-4380-9573-63ff7acd758e-image.png] rule with source and dest of Any that only applies to the tag, and assigns the queue: [image: 1605803840620-08a4ee1e-f89e-4dc1-9782-b3858f424b2f-image.png]

    Yeah, I'm seeing it in all 2.5 snaps now. No idea what I was looking at earlier. Too many test boxes!

    @Gertjan said in Cert expired on snapshots.pfsense.org: Anyway. Case closed. Mmm, not really since it should have been swapped out when it was created. We continue to investigate... Anyway thanks for reporting. Steve

    @david-williams It has 256MB of RAM so even in late 2020 I would encourage you to try out OpenBSD, FreeBSD or NetBSD on it. A minimal install of Debian Linux would work also. I'm of course suggesting you build a router/firewall completely from scratch. Note this would only work if you can replace the 64MB flash card with something larger. At least 1GB but that's only if you perform a very minimal install. I would suggest installing the system in virtualbox first then convert the vdi to an img in order to copy it onto the asa's flash card. https://www.router-switch.com/pdf/asa5510-bun-k9-datasheet.pdf

    You mean in the 'Alternate Hostnames' field in Sys > Adv > Admin Access? It has to be a hostname. So: firewall.mydomain.com for example. Steve

    Replacing the existing router with pfSense would be a much better plan unless there is a very good reason not to. Bridging can work OK but it's also easy to get wrong. Bridging VLAN interfaces even more so. Steve

    Testing or recovering a device temporarily like this is about the only time I would use two subnets on one interface. I have done that numerous times in the past. (but it does always feel dirty! ) Steve

    Hi all, Ok solved by myself. Strange was those "Permission denied" errors, so I've ended first trying a factory reset and restoring a backup, then, 'cause this didn't help, I've reinstalled the whole box and restored the configuration. After that, all went back to work. Hope that helps someone. Cheers, Simon
