Seems like pfSense or the service watchdog was confused by the install. I kept getting mails , that service watchdog was starting the Zabbix agent , and it was not running if showing status --> services. System log seemed to indicate that it was installed ok. I went to the Services --> Zabbix Agent , and disabled the service Waited 10 sec , and enabled the service Problem gone , service is running Maybe disable the service , before packet uninstall And enable the service after installing the new version of the package /Bingo

Fatal data abort, captured on the log. I'll post the pertinent sections when I can. I'm going to put in a support ticket and request that they send me a replacement device. I'll send this one back to them.

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation. Yes I'm looking at decent hardware, I've had so many problems with high end consumer type devices in the past that always seem to fail on what I would consider fairly basic stuff. So looking at one of the Ubiquity UniFi 16 Port PoE (or higher ports) versions. I've not used the UniFi platform before but I've been doing a lot of research on it, it looks awesome. Particularly when I compare that to a bunch of older (+8 yrs) managed switches of varying brands that I've had donated - both in terms of features/functionality and user interface. The UniFi platform seems awesome with the automatic propagation of configuration changes, plus the CloudKey too. Seems more powerful than many enterprise platforms (albeit, I've only really seen/been in discussion about these at arms length) - and without the costs of things like Cisco.

@bossaops Ou yeah, thats for sure. My ONT is very closed. But it gives better speed than my pfsence Box. (Sadly) Does not like to share any thing. Thats a NAT address. Btw when i used to use openwrt there was not any problem.

@wizardofwhere I think you have the pfsense plugged into the wrong place. I would have modem, to pfsense wan, pfsense lan to switch, vpn is going to take some work because that also needs wan access. You probably need the linksys plugged into same switch and rules on the pfsense to forward traffic for the vpn.

It's unusual because it's not intended for that role (yet, at least) -- adding functions which are useful outside of the firewall is out of scope, even if the cert manager is convenient to use.

@nerlins said in Another subnet sanity check.: What IP address do I set for Pfsense itself It will need an IP on each subnet if the subnet is to communicate with/through the pfSense. (the printer's gateway is the pfSense IP in that subnet)

@summer said in SG-3100 notification after update 21.02: edits something like "compilation" It's PHP. It's an interpreted language. Not compiled. It's the "Basic" of the last decade. It looks easy, because it is.

@jimp Thank you, all good now. Solved.

@viktor_g Thanks for your help.

Update: I noticed that many of the logs were not updating and there were 8 zombie processes shortly after a fresh reboot. Decided to nuke the logs and reboot: find /var/log -type f -exec rm -f {} ; && reboot Gateways came back up after the reboot, then went back down. WTH? Also still a very odd lag on UI when saving changes.

@stephenw10 Thank you. It was hardware. Replaced SSD resolved it.

@lecygne After all these years pfsense developers are still not convinced that "taking master role too early" is an issue in some cases!

@bingo600 said in Firewall logs - showing other: Re ISP - The Gateway monitor is prob pinging the isp def-gw. how can I confirm this ? please note I am still learning and my knowledge is very limited at the moment
