Thx a lot Steve this was a very good overhaul for me and a good thing to me understand more this. Helped me a lot and thx to show whre was the errors I couldn't figured out.

And yes this is a very old hardware that no one never maintain the hardware.

Hmm, seems like it didn't upgrade completely and was still referencing some older modules.

If you reinstall Wireguard I'd expect it to work.

Strange things can happen. Computers...

Simply reducing the notifications will certainly help.

2.7 is in Beta and it's looking good. So unless something show stopping is found I would anticipate 'weeks'. Hard to be more accurate than that.

@stephenw10 said in Crash Report:

arp: packet with unknown hardware format 0x06 received

Something on LAN is sending bad packets. You should find out what that is and stop it if you can. However that shouldn't cause a kernel panic.

With php core dumping like that I would expect to see some errors in the system log? Whatever else is happening at that time could tell us something.

@stephenw10 I could not use chatgpt and may have done a poor job of translating, but before the L2 switch was installed, I would wake up from sleep or reboot and the connection would stay online or be disconnected. The gateway was not up (the network icon was an X) and 192.168.1.1 was also not connectable.

I have been trying to put an L2 switch in between and so far the connection never seems to get disconnected. I will keep an eye on the status a little longer.

Yup, rules are applied per interface. Interfaces can be (are usually) a single port.

Exceptions to that would be, for example, VLANs where one port can carry multiple interfaces or bridges where one interface can span several ports.

Steve

Hmm. It still seems like unexpected/unwanted behaviour on an internal interface. We should look at it anyway.

Mmm, that is old but still. One 3GHz core would usually be enough. If it's actually running at 3GHz....

Thanks for the replies everyone, I was able to fix the issue last night. I did end up reviewing and trying out proxmox instead of VMware Workstation, and was able to get it working.

I'm not exactly sure what the issue was, but I think there was an issue with how i set up the network interfaces on the VMware. On proxmox i wasn't able to reach the gui at first from the PC connected to the LAN port, which made it more clear what to look for when debugging the problem. When running VMWare on windows I was able to connect to the GUI from the PC running VmWare, which I think was causing me to misdiagnose the problem.

Eventually got it working on Proxmox and noticed I had the gateways misconfigured on the client, which could have been the issue on my setup with VMware Workstation.

well done,

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$output = json_decode($response);

could be it

Apologies for the delay, but having got the issue fixed I thought it would be worth adding a note as to what the problem was rather than leving it dangling.

Thanks for the help of @stephenw10 who checked the (two different) NDI (Network Device Id) that were showing up on the sytem against the pfSense registration db, and fixed the registration there to be correct.

Somehow, most likely due to me having played with the network devices in the config and then reloaded it, the pfSense plus registration did not match the device id. Once that was fixed I could get the package database and install packages again.

Nigel.

Hmm, so removing the duplicate gre entries resolved the issue?

Thanks - that explains why your CPU-Load is so low at high speed transfer! (no pfblocker and or IDS/IPS)

@kevin-ruffus yes

@stephenw10 Still at the top of the rule set.

I made sure to make the following change overnight.

I know this is an old post but....this worked for me too. I bought a Beelink EQ-12 for pfSense. It uses the Intel i225-V ethernet controller. I installed the release version of pfSense and the nics were not found. I tried a recent dev snapshot (2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT-amd64-20230605-0600) and it's working.

Thanks for helping me solve my problem!

@nanobist said in OpenSSL Library Error when Creating New Certificate:

but I figure that is making things more complex than what I really need.

Yeah it does add a bit of complexity - but again + and - to any sort of setup really. There are things I really like about a virtual router, but me personally prob wouldn't go back to that setup..

In a pinch I could run a virtual router - say my pfsense box went belly up, knock on wood I could always fire up the virtual router until my replacement hardware got here ;)

Maybe you want to fire up a "lab" if you will vm - then if need be a bit of changing some ports around on the switch and bam your in business again ;) That is my DR plan, again knock on wood ;)

@yahav02
your given solution works perfectly on desktop pc and laptop. But I am unable to do this on smart phones (android and iPhone devices), as I am not aware of how to enable ssl inspection for mobile devices. please guide
