@homeauto Mikrotik has nothing to do with your problem and I'll agree with Bingo600 that your issue(s) seem to suggest or related to NAT.

I use a new activation key from netgate and that helped get past this.

The location of the module installed by the package is the same. You should not have to change the loader values. The version of the pkg in 2.7 is 1.98.

@stephenw10 OK I see ... This is slightly different from the rate limit I use in UFW or Firewalld ... In which the state auto resets. One assumes that as long as the limit of 4 in 30 seconds isn't exceeded the host isn't written and therefore will never require deletion with the Chron Job. I suppose maybe set the limit a little higher to resolve accidents - but leave the 1 hour Chron job - I did think of using my usual Fail2Ban - but I think this will work well as the SSH is protected with MFA any robot will immediately be blocked after hitting it so fast, and the times taken after lock to unlock will make any brute force practically beyond impossible - the MFA would stop em when they don't have the second device which is push notification so --- impossible. virtually. Thanks for your input

Check the pfSense DHCP status or logs. If there's a link there it can be handing a lease to itself.

@stephenw10 i just went ahead and reinstalled this morning. i appreciate the reply.

@BassStation70 yep. PfB can’t spoof HTTPS certs with valid certs so your browser will show the warning. Re: still working, could be DNS caching on your device, or a list update, etc.

Ah, it looks exactly like this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14685 So try a few rounds of fsck as mentioned there. Or switching to ZFS would also prevent it. Steve

Did you try the known fix for that? https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14207#note-2 https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/tune.html#rate-limiting Steve

@Gertjan @stephenw10 Yes, to both of you guys. I was tired and just trying to get things done. I made a backup in the UI and it was larger than I had thought it would be. Wanted to thank all of you for your help, and let you know I was/am not meaning to be rude. I wasn't able to get on yesterday, as my central air went out and as I don't have just over $12k to replace it, I had to do what I could to get it running again. Took about 7 straight hours. As for my firewall, I have not messed with it anymore, as I just haven't had the time. I cannot reproduce the issue, so I cannot submit it as a bug report. I am sure it is something stupid I did, while up all night after playing COD or something like that. When I first got my box, I had only the basic understanding of python, very basic, and had forgotten most of php, and the networking I did was 20 plus years ago. So it's been a bit of a challenge for me. You all have been VERY helpful, and again, thank you!

Hmm, so it tries to connect via em0 before it has an IP and fails. Then retries successfully?

That's what you would see if the device loses it's default route or has an invalid default route. Check Diag > Routes when it happens. Make sure the default gateway in System > Routing > Gateways is set to WAN and not automatic. Steve

@NollipfSense said in Register DHCP WAN address with unbound?: I found it best also to have a real domain (often a $10/yr cost) Exact. And it comes with a free bonus : free certificates.

Checked the connection last night and this morning again, confirmed it's still good. So, I believe this was the issue 100%. Glad I can go home with no worries. Thanks guys.

@Khoomn oh so you won't be using the dumb switches then?

@michmoor said in interface rename causes brief outage: Now that i think about it, i think its related to my ticket - https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14483 This seems familiar. Applying any changes to an IPsec config even if its phase 1 results in all FRR neighborships flapping. That should be logged if it's happening.

@stephenw10 Now that 23.05.1 and 2.7 have been released, is it back on the timeline?

Ah, that would do it!
