What version did you upgrade from where it was working?

@stephenw10 My ISP finally called me back this morning and said that it looks like the box outside is going bad. They are rolling a tech to replace it this morning. Will see what happens.

@mcury The mistake I was making was to enter the username just as straight text, ie "pfsense". When I switched to "CN=pfSense,CN=Users,DC=lan,DC=company,DC=com" the bind authentication started working.

The authentication appears to be working. Now on to making it secure.

Thanks for posting the screen shot.

Once created the LAGG appears as any other interface, you can assign it, you can create VLANs on it etc. You can then select the LAGG, or VLANs on it, to assign as existing interfaces and that way keep the existing subnet and firewall rules etc.

@Mikalatto Hi Mika, do you have a picture or model number of your equipment? Is your fiber terminating into this Nokia ONT and then going directly to the WiFi Hub? You may have a newer setup than I do so I might not be able to help.

My connection is currently setup where the incoming fiber terminates into the Nokia G-240G-A ONT (same as in the Facebook link) and then from there it's ethernet to my pfSense box. There is no WiFi Hub necessary.

@johnpoz Thanks! 😁

If you reboot and then check the log when does that first appear? At what point in the log?

Also check /tmp/php_errors.txt

@magoo_it said in PHP error after reboot:

It seems that today is not my best day on IT ... well better days will come.

aww, don't be so hard on yourself. I have to keep a sticky on the Reddit group about this tool because it seems very few people there know about it, either. 😸

@stephenw10 Thanks!

Regards.

As shown in that thread you can edit /etc/skel/dot.tcshrc which is where that file is created from.
However that still might be lost at a firmware upgrade.
I created a feature request for this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14746

Hmm, maybe something else was using some bandwidth?

Nice catch. And relatively easy fix. 😉

For some weird reason, I though that L2 VPN was only used for remote access, not for peer to peer.

I've successfuly migrated from Vxlan to Openvpn.

Thanks for your help

With the mitigations in place the C3558 will do 1Gbps, I tested that. So pretty much anything recent.

@stephenw10 said in Windstream fiber -> Adtran 411 -> PfSense slow upload speed:

The WAN flapping seems like a different issue to the upload speed throttling.

I would try swapping the WAN and LAN NICs to see if it's something to one of them. Has the WAN always flapped like that?

Apologies for the delay in response. The WAN has only ever flapped when I used the Asrock NUC BOX-1360P/D5 Intel 2.5 Gbps NICs to connect to my fiber ONT box. It did not work with the Aruba switch either. The WAN continued to flap up and down repeatedly and I was not getting the full upload speeds.

I ended up replacing the Asrock NUC BOX-1360P/D5 PC with another PC with a PCIe express slot and put in an Intel X710-T2L card. I reran the connection speed test with the EdgeSwitch and finally got synchronous upload and download speeds of ~950 Mbps. Inspecting the PFSense interface logs, it no longer reported "In/out errors" when the test ran. In addition, the WAN flapping has stopped, and it's been online for more than 10 days.

I also tried the Intel X710-T2L card with the new Aruba switch, and it is getting synchronous upload and download speeds of ~950 Mbps. Either my Asrock NUC BOX-1360P/D5 had a bad NIC, or something was going on, but I did not want to deal with the problems anymore.

Thank you for the assistance and guidance you provided me as I tried to troubleshoot this problem @stephenw10

I know this topic is quite old, but it was the only one I could find that had my exact issue. In my case I accidentally enabled the Proxmox firewall on the VM I was trying to ping, so make sure to double check if you enabled a firewall, it could have saved my multiple hours of headache...

You can trigger a notification using php like:

That will use all the configured notification methods including Telegram if it's set.

@Gertjan

Hello,
Thank you for your detailed answer. I have tried to even fresh installed the VM with NIC passthrough out of the box but PFsenese takes at least 5-10 min to resolve DNS. AFter the initial time my devices connect to it can resolve DNS. However, if I leave it over night or in the morning when I turn on my computer again. PFsense is still running 24/7. It takes at least about 5 min before every device can resolve DNS again.

As you have suggested, I think it may lies at my Proxmox server. I may have to install it barebones.

Thank you again for your time.

@stephenw10
I dunno.... no clue, I rebuilt the 2 hyper-v adapters on the pfsense vm, the external and internal... and of course now it works. Oh well...

Thanks for responding to my question!!!

Yup, the local issue was resolved. Should be good now.
