    @provels Thank you for the tip. All except the last two lines were added by the installer, so I guess I'll leave those as is, the last two I moved to loader.conf.local. I rebooted and everything seems to boot fine :)

    @longliveipv4 , This because pfsense allows IPv6 6in4 packets connections. You could try to add two floating firewall rules to Block IPv6 Any to Any. A rule for incoming -interface Wan and a rule for outgoing - interfaces all others lan,opt1. .. Then go to Services to disable DHCPv6 Server & RA (Router Advertisements) and DHCPv6 Relay. After that disable Allow IPv6 in System>Advanced>Networking. Also Change all IPv6 in interfaces IPv6 configuration select to None.

    huh? Why/How would unbound be using the webgui cert? Just because its listed there in a "possible" cert you could use if you enabled dot in unbound to use for people that query it - doesn't mean its actually used.. [image: 1615632571032-dot.png] You sure wouldn't want it using your default selfsigned webgui cert..

    You should made a tutorial how to hardening pfsense here or on Youtube. One thing, just remember your pfsense can be compromised without you knowing it (no logs). Especially attack on cloud with ssh. For example, service syslogd stop adduser -D Username. johndoe. login group: wheel pkg install sudo vi /usr/local/etc/sudoers root ALL=(ALL) ALL johndoe ALL=(ALL) ALL Voila!

    @akegec said in **WAN (PPPoE) reset after change of "Periodic reset schedule"???**: @lf1985 , usually periodic wan reset doesn't trigger a whole reset, it seems that your ISP puts you on different internet profile after fluctuating happens on your line. ISP already assigned you with a fix IP address. Btw have you tried factory reset your modem? What the Threadstarter want to know is why, when changing in the pppoe GUI ONLY the hour and minute for the "Periodic Reset", the whole WAN pppoe interface has to be resetted. my 2 cents, fireodo

    @yeleek , strange things are happen when you are not active. Next time, make sure your DHCP and DNS resolver services run before going to sleep ;)

    @mkernalcon said in How to powerfail-proof an appliance?: I'm really surprised this isn't a more requested feature, especially for the sub-$200 appliances. These are great little kits to send home with unskilled people, except for this. Track back the past of pfSense. People wanted more, the market was there. See what m0n0wall - is was close to romable : like a "linksys" router with RAM and a "disk" (file system) as a ramdrive. But it ran on a PC like device, had a real trusted OS without the 32 Mbytes space limit. These days, huge packages (extensions) exist. But it comes with a price : its not that device anymore that you can treat as a light bulb (pull the plug). pfSense doesn't look like a full fledged PC, but is like one. Its even more : you double it. (HA) and you fed it with UPS's. It should be handled like a 'server' (with the 3M scotched on it : do not shut me down'). I understand that a SG1100 doesn't match this description, but that's Netgate's fault : they managed to scram a "big" thing in the size of a packet of cigarettes. Nice, but wrong. pfSense should be taken care of as a device that looks like this. Even the guy with the metal head would understand that.

    @andyrh Actually it was still zoom. But in Firefox, you have a separate option to Zoom Text Only. Once I enabled that it worked as expected. This was starting to make my eye twitch a bit.

    @tommyverburgh add TXT record to unbound When you find your own question top ranked - first link - on Google (grats !), this means that you should consider that your question is wrong. Next best : reddit, stackoverflow and friends will tell you that unbound is a resolver, not an authoritative name server, as that is the one that handles stuff like zones, the pace where you put TXT records. And then, a couple of cm further below, you find the guy who actually read the manual, and found it . Its a question of a cut and paste, using the right config commands and a mixture of quotes : server: local-data: '_aaplcache._tcp 259200 IN TXT "prs=xx.xx.xx.xx"' I couldn't really test this, but unbound accepts the syntax.

    @robi said in Issue Bridging OPT1 & LAN for 10GB link into VM Environment: create a separate one for LAN, add the other two 10GBe network cards to it, add pfSense's LAN port here, and your other virtual machines ports also Hi! Sorry for retrieving this thread after few years, but I'm trying now to accomplish this virtual switch on Xen (XCP-NG). However, I can not create any network with more than one physical interface. Is it possible to make this kind of virtual switch on XCP-NG? Thanks!
