    Hi,

    i tried that, but that did not work. But now comes the catch: After doing so, it shows Version 2.8.0.1500029 on the start screen, updating to that actually works, without changing the branch, because then it selects 2.8.0 from the get-go and it does the job. I just havent tried this sequence.

    Strange, but hey ist works!

    Kind regards,

    Jens

    @stephenw10 @johnpoz
    as for the vlan names on my sisters i guess i could just left out saying i made the same on her network since its not in use.. guess i make more confusion adding in stuff

    i going to get my sister to test her network tommorow with the extra TP link antenna and remove the round disc version to see if its just a faulty AP maybe

    as for my cable.. ya ive re terminated both ends still get 100mbp at half speed but since i been around a while i remember and still have my BNC coaxal network cable and cards for 10mbp when i used to host BBS Lan partys 80s 90s and 1200 baud and 33k modem even the modem for the Texas Instrument I99 i still have kicking around take ur phone and jam it on the suction cups.. 40+ years of networking of just standard LAN i only started using Vlans last couple years as my LAN was getting too cluttered...

    so ya about the VLANs i was curious ya so VLAN 10 even though its embedded on 2 networks a few switchs apart will still be able to access even with pfsense down.. as i figured might go down too as i was going to move then the shinobi recording computer to the same switch as the cameras but then wouldnt solve for the 2nd switch of cameras at 2nd location..

    i still playing around with pfsense high availability and had those questions about it above.. but i going to play around with it more.. pfsense pretty stable as long as hardware is good had it running on my sisters computer a dell from 15-20 years ago but it just started glitch now so i built a newer version as i thought also maybe the glitching computer for the AP issues .. but didnt solve it.. but i do love the verstile use of any computer pfsense will install on..

    i appreciate the help so far
    oh and i still have my 1 server thats still plugged in my network from 26 27 years ago running windows 98 and i ran Microsoft Wingate thats how we supplied dhcp internet for a lan party on 28.8k modem for 10 guys in a basement for a week at a time.. memories lol and that comp still works to this date but i dont miss dip switch networking

    im just hoping i can test out what 1gb internet speed is before i dead.. as 3mbps speed is like dial up for the 80s 90s all over again now a days lol

    That happens if the rule is no longer present in the ruleset when the log page is displayed. So commonly for old logs if it was something dynamically created like a UPnP rule or a scheduled rule.

    Those look like reply traffic though so it could just be an expired state and the ruleset changed since.

    If it's already registered and you have NDI you can just purchase a subscription against that NDI:

    But if you applied one of the home or lab free subscriptions against it then you probably don't need to do that yet.

    The client device will usually renew the lease at half the lease time but it doesn't have to. It could choose to renew it every 15mins. There are limits though. The server will refuse if clients try to renew too rapidly.

    Check the client config. Or run a pcap for it and see if it's actually requesting it.

    @stephenw10 It is static locked on mac address so I tried another android ping app and it works when the wan interface goes down so it must be a crappy ping app that I was using

    What IP are you using to connect to pfSense over OpenVPN?

    If you have firewall rules to allow it you should be able to use the pfSense LAN address to do so.

    If that works then you must have the correct route in OpenVPN and probably have the correct firewall rules.
    Most likely the host VMs in the LAN are blocking connections from outside their own subnet. In which case ypu can fix the hosts to allow it or use outbound NAT in pfSense to hide the source IP.

    @stephenw10 said in Remote syslog using WAN interface.:

    In the mean time that local gateway workaround should work if you can't switch to a route based tunnel.

    VTI resolved the issue.

    Thanks again.

    It was probably just pkg upgrade or some variation of it. That will offer to upgrade any remaining pkgs that didn't get upgraded during the normal pfSense upgrade.

    If you're seeing that while viewing the dashboard there is a patch for that. Install the System Patches package and apply patches.

    @Gertjan

    Before using pfSense I used CentOS (iptables and squid) for yearssss.. But proxy is pain, no more that for me.. lol.

    Im thinking to change the local host file of that machine. The user of that machine, barely knows how to send a email, so i think this should work. I was trying doing this on firewall, to learn if i need this in the future for more machines on my lan.

    I can change the host file OR the unbound view method.

    By having the casting server act as a separate router between the two subnets you are creating an asymmetric route at both ends. I would expect TCP traffic to fail and see blocks in the firewall log?

    Unless you have added workaround rules to allow it.
    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/asymmetric-routing.html

    That would happen with any type of routing.
