    Yes, I would be looking there if you need that sort of encrypted traffic level. Steve

    @andyrh said in Allow or block internet access: @hardware_bxl said in Allow or block internet access: As for the no gateway solution, I have a default option and the wan gateway, should I create a dummy gateway for this to work? It how would I set no gateway for an interface? You can assign an address to the printer in DHCP and set option 3 to 'null' and the device will not receive a gateway. Yes ok I thought of that, SteveITS already explained that security-wise it's not ideal, but that is an option yes.

    So it loaded correctly once the clients renewed their leases and pulled the expected IPs? Steve

    @jimp quick response! ok, started while wan was down would explain. but 192.168.xx.1 can be a perfectly good default gateway ip whether there is a wan or not so kind of curious behavior. now that I have populated the default default I won't be bothered by it again but it cost me in down time after ISP was restored. it makes the advertised behavior on that page no longer a certainty, maybe add 'might' or 'should' there?

    @johnpoz Thanks!. Looks like setting up the bridge in docker is better suited for my needs. I don't know where exactly docker traffic go i terms of IP and Port. Will also explore macvlan. Thanks again!

    Yes, it almist certainly didn't upgrade fully for some reason. If you're on 22.09 now though the only way go back is to reinstall. Unless you were already running ZFS and can use Boot Envs. Steve

    So what is 172.28.254.237? Should it respond to ping? It it's some internal switch or router but just doesn't respond to ping I would just disable gateway monitoring for it. Steve

    @rcoleman-netgate I was leaning that way and i plan on grabbing a new drive tomorrow to test it out. I didn't think about the drive going to sleep though! I'll take a look into it as well and see if I can find out. Thanks!

    Yeah, what you see there is expected at the gui command prompt. You can't enter anything there that is interactive. If you absolutely had to run the upgrade from there you would use: pfSense-upgrade -y But you should never do that because you get zero feedback while it's running. You'll have no idea what it's doing or if it completed! Run it from the real command line or use the upgrade screen in the gui. Steve

    Not in any officially supported way, no. SMB, definitely not. Certs stored in pfSense in the certificate manager are stored in the config file and cannot just be swapped in and out externally. Steve

    Nice. If you have LAN set to track WAN with a prefix value set you should also now see a valid public /64 applied to it.

    @stephenw10 Indeed. All settings are the same. @jimp said in pfsense 22.01 crashing and rebooting: What VM hardware version are you running on those VMs? Usually weird/unexplained instability and panics like that are from running a VM hardware version (or ESX version) not fully compatible with the version of FreeBSD used on the guest. I no longer use ESX here (moved everything to Proxmox VE) so I can't speak to how things work on recent versions of ESX or specific VM hardware versions, but generally speaking it's safest to upgrade them to the most recent available VM hardware version. Sometimes with a much newer base/ESX it might not be a bad idea to keep it on an older version but that situation is more rare. ESXi 7.0 Issue has resolved by now. Messed with hw offloading and stuff. Not sure what brought the fix but the firewalls are now stable again. Installed latest updates as well.

    I really like the output of pfctl -sr from either the console or debug, run command from the web interface. It shows me the all the rules, in the order they are added/evaluated, and all the different rules (floating, interface, interfacegroups, etc) are in one list. I find it easier to manually parse or walk but you need to be familiar with raw pf rules/configs. That's my preference, others with more experience in the GUI or the XML config may find a different way better.
