Thank you for your reply. Please accept my apologies for my late response but I have been traveling.
Responding to your question, in previous applications of older pfsense versions I thought I had seen host names for mac numbers assigned in a specific pool that were not assigned as static. In version 2.4.4 I did not see this. That is the root of my question. Clearly your response makes the most sense. In any case host names can be assigned via a static ip assignment.

Ah, cool. That's exactly what I saw. I got as far as opening a bug before I realised. 😉

Steve

Ha, wish I had the memory of an elephant 🍻 ☺

Thanks.

Thanks! That worked.

Dude go into the resolver and put in your fqdn and IP you want it to resolve to locally...

Can we see more of that log?

It shows the mpd daemon restarting there, does it restart on each cycle? That would be unexpected. It should just try to reconnect with the existing process until it succeeds.

Steve

It's almost certainly the new gateway logic. There are a number of (now fixed) bug reports relating to that.

Settings it to the PPPoE gateway specifically should resolve but if not you might try a 2.4.5 snapshot that has those fixes in.

Steve

If it's on a VM the drive is just a file anyway. You can just copy it off the host. Or snapshot the VM.

Steve

I could see how someone might think that, but in this case we put out some updates for a few issues that some had concerns about (unbound, strongSwan, curl, libssh) and if someone needs to, they can update by hand. We don't do that often, but in this case the issues warranted an OOB update of that nature.

@stephenw10 Thank you very much, it worked, I did it the way you said it, success ... thanks a hug.

Thank you Steven,
Finally we virtualize Pfsense with Proxmox.

I was able to reproduce it fairly easily, and I just pushed a fix.

This is part of running a network - you can understand a revision or so.. Change control, maint windows - clearly these prevent just on a whim updating.. Testing should be done, etc..

But come on 2.3.2 - and they even sent out notifications that 2.3 was coming to an end over a year ago..

What errors are you seeing when you try to do those things?

I have no problem doing that using FF or Chromium.

@glen4cindy said in New User - Filter YouTube pfSense:

The only issue with this is that I have found "YouTube" is either "allowed" or "blocked" and although I do not have experience with these other services, I've just had it in my mind I'd like to get this setup.

I'm pretty sure the Family Shield settings at OpenDNS allows all YouTube videos.

Can we see the system log produced when it fails to connect in a stable manner?

Steve

Ah, yup that will do it! There have been a number changes gone in for 2.4.5 to address that sort of incorrect gateway selection.

Usually if you only have one gateway is will continue to be used whether or not it's marked off-line. It's only if you have gateway groups or failover that it has any effect.
