@stephenw10 Gotcha. Ok thanks Stephen for answering my questions and providing guidence.

Ah, OK. Well in that case you could potentially create a failover gateway group with the two WANs. But I could imagine it would get stuck on the L2TP WAN. You would need to configure the L2TP WAN to be dial-on-demand and disable monitoring etc so it closed the link. But That would take far too long. Also I could imagine the PPPoE monitoring might fail until the L2TP disconnects. It seems like you could script it though. Probably take a bit of testing to find the right rc calls to work with those. Steve

@bmf7777 said in DHCP error message question: been working great for a couple of years ... then boom lots of DHCP issues everywhere What changed? Firmware updates?

@stephenw10 thank you so much

Mmm, I could see that. If it works better for you then why not.

@stephenw10 Cheers pal, it’s nice to get confirmation i’m not doing anything wrong that might make it insecure or something else :)

Yes, that would be a good test. It's hard to see how something in the config could do that, it seems more likely something in the filesystem has become out of sync somehow. Never seen it before though.

Of course if you are NATing between WAN and LAN (most soho installs) adding a rule like that will only allow traffic to reach services on the firewall itself. You would need inbound NAT rules to reach anything behind the firewall. Steve

Do you mean?: /tmp/bootup_messages If you reboot after removing it does the file return at a size you can open? What's in it? Steve

@stephenw10 It was the most convenient bug in the history of computing.

@stephenw10 said in VoIP passing through Firewall with no audio: Ok, so that traffic is all direct, nothing goes through pfSense so it cannot be blocking it. The phones would usually start sending RTP traffic directly between each other but it relies on the PBX sending them the correct IPs to connect to. Steve I fixed by changing Network NAT Settings on PBX and poiting to pfSense.

OpenVPN can be configured as either.

The first thing is to get the client connecting so try to connect it then check the OpenVPN logs.

@stephenw10 Just to confirm, if anyone else reads this thread and have the same problem. Installing a 1G transceiver in the SFP+ port on auto negotiation, did solve my problem, and I'm using it as a WAN interface now on 1G speed.

@furom said in NTP woes: Thanks! I will have a look at that too. :) When you have time.

@alpaca EDIT: Sorry, but I had cleared my packages - and had deleted Backup/Restore pkg. How embarrassing! Reinstalled pkg, updated and everything is OK. Shame on me ... Regards, Sebastian

@steveits Unchecking "Allow IPv6" under System->Advanced->Networking seems to stop the errors... However, it should work with IPv6 enabled ?! edit** Enabled it back again, and now I don't have any errors in my log... Thank you for your help! //T

@mrjoli021 Issue has been resolved. Once I removed the DNSSec setting PfBlockerNG started up and so far Resolver has not crashed.

Putting a device in passthrough mode like that usually disables DHCP but if it doesn't I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I have configured static IPs on PPPoE parent NICs to access the modem many times. I have that setup here. Steve

@dobby_ Thanks for your reply. I have been looking into it and I think that my current switch can do basic inter vlan routing so I think I will try that. But thanks for your reply.
