    @stephenw10 said in Nginx and HNAP1:

    It's harmless in pfSense but it's caused by that local client trying to access a page at the pfSense IP address that doesn't exists in pfSense. So most likely that client was previously connecting to that service at the pfSense IP when it was some other host. It could be something on that client trying to actually use HNAP. It could be the client scanning local hosts. It could be malware on that client looking for local exploitable services. Check that client device.

    I see. I will try to investigate the client. Good to know that it´s harmless.
    Thank you,
    Jonna

    @chris-doldolia Ell it says it timed out parsing an XML file. How big is your config file?

    By chance are you viewing the dashboard when this happens? There are multiple threads about 100% CPU when viewing the dashboard in 24.11.

    If you can still see available packages then it's still valid and would be valid for any Plus version.

    @stephenw10 Everything working fine now. OpenVPN suddenly started working as well. All good. Thanks for everyone's help. As an aside, I'm totally bummed that Netgate is moving to a subscription based service. I understand no company makes money giving stuff away for free. However, that's not how it was presented to us when Netgate encouraged us to move to PfSense + Home/Lab, only to then take it way from us. I really like pfSense, but for $129 a year it seems a little overpriced for home use.. I know I can downgrade to CE, but how long will that be free, or even in existence? I'll stay on pfSense + until I no longer can, but I will likely move to another product e.g. OpenSense when the time comes. I even have the pfSense swag all over my computer and comms closet in my home. Oh well, such is life in the world of business.

    Well I'd be checking it works still when behind something else because it doesn't look like anything special should be required in pfSense.

    Could you use ::1 for the IPv6 server 1 network?

    Or what about setting up a ULA fc::/7 for ntp for networks that have dynamic IPv6 and use track interface. Would this work?

    Mmm, if it's account based are they using a local AD server or similar?

    @gritdesigned7930 said in Gui DHCP ISC KEA DNS Resolver all crashed 24.11 reinstall didn't work:

    kea-dhcp6.dhcpsrv.0x9ac02a12000] DHCPSRV_NO_SOCKETS_OPEN no interface configured to listen to DHCP traffic

    You have a "Kea DHCP server for IPv6" configured, but the interface is down.

    The Kea DHCP server IPv4 log lines are the normal startup log lines.

    My Kea, both IPv4 and IPv6 are up and running on several interfaces. I see only INFO messages, when leases get renewed etc.
    And "Write include: /var/unbound/leases/leases4.conf" ...
    And "Add record: "iphone-xii-gertjan.bhf.tld. 28800 IN A 192.168.1.35"
    Etc.

    Well I would start by just enabling the igmp proxy and see if that accomplishes what you need with the default options.

    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/services/igmp-proxy.html

    There are some custom options you can use via a custom conf file if required:
    https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=igmpproxy.conf

    But igmpproxy is best avoided if at all possible IMO. What are you actually trying to do?

    @bennetbj11 said in PFsense reboots at the same time every day:

    Also, as it has been a while the reboot has moved back exactly 1 hour to 03:05 each day now since the clocks have changed.

    Any other Ideas? I am lost as to why this device is doing it.

    Okay that really is a strange case. Since the reboots moved back exactly one hour with daylight saving i assume, then the cause has to be external. Since the hardware/pfsense clock moved with daylight saving, then the reboot should remain at 4:05 if it was some internal service/timebased scripts or such.

    since it didn’t it must be external. So I would look at @stephenw10’s suggestions about power surges. But I don’t think you’ll diagnose this unless you attempt sitting at the console on the box when it happens. Does it throw any errors before hardbooting - fx. No diskstorage found/as in dead SSD/eMMC.

    @Master-Henry said in Had PfSense. Had to reinstall. Not getting a connection:

    There is nothing on LAN. Blank.

    Like at the console in the menu?

    Is your client pulling a dhcp lease even?

    @netboy I only allow eap-tls auth to my "trusted" wifi network. You could issue the certs and install on their PCs - but not on their portable devices.

    What is the point of allowing them to connect to both with their PC.. Why would they switch between the 2 in the first place.

    But yeah if its just a psk they would be able to use that on any device to connect. But why would they? This is your family right - tell them use ssid B for their tablets/phones and ssid A for their PC. And don't even give them the psk to be honest. You connect the pc to the ssid you want them to connect too.

    Sure they know the psk they could use it on any device they want. That is why you use a more strict auth method on a trusted SSID. I find it highly unlikely they would have the know how to export a cert you installed on their PCs and move it to their mobile devices.
