@bert-0 said in No Internet:

BTW: I am new to CMTs. How can you tell if a device you hit is a CMT or not?

A CMTS is the device you connect to at the cable company head end. I used Wireshark to examine the DHCPv6-PD packets and saw the error message that identified, by host name, the failing system.

Anyway, as I said, try connecting a computer to your modem directly. And if a tech comes make sure he can connect with his own equipment.

BTW, have him try test-ipv6.com to show you everything is working properly. You should get 10/10.

Thanks again everyone for your help.

I am going to run this like this for a while - and take weekly backups. When I am ready to move to Proxmox - I will install fresh and then restore the last backup.

Right now I have another issue... suddenly the 4-port card that I put into the HP Z240 prevents the machine from booting. I can take it out and put into another machine and that one boots just fine. Boots all the way to Windows server 2019, is seen and all 4-ports are there.

Put it in the HP and I get 3 slow-beeps and RED power light, then 2 fast-beeps and white power light. I have a ticket with the folks at HP. It is an HP card 331T card.

Yes, should be possible

My background is dev, I only know basic networking. But
those numbers look odd to me.

Then perhaps a fresh install and "only" pfSense and some
rules set up will be the best starting point for you. If then
something went wrong it is better to find out or narrow
down to a special point. Snort and pfBlocker-NG will be
also not real "set-it-up-and-forget-it" applications and
this also not for very experienced users.

Home routers maybe sorted with some small ASICs and running (acting) therefore a bit more faster, also Linux is
a few bit more liquid and smooth running on the same
hardware as FreeBSD, it also comes with much more
hardware and better driver support for many different hardware. So it is not the same running Linux and/or
FreeBSD based systems on the same hardware.

My suggestion to not run in a "many-problems-but-what-is-it-searching" loop, fresh install, configure it out, and then if all is fine start the next packet installing and again
configure it out, .........

So the forum might be best able to help you, owed to the different sections you maybe point your "problem" or question in.

@shakeel

If this, what you are reporting here, was pointed to a power
outage, you might be perhaps als looking for a qualified
UPS unit (Uninterruptible power supply) also. It should
then be able to hold both pfSense firewalls if you run a
active/passive setup. Try tog et the same box again
might be also nice for narrow down troubleshooting.

Ah, if some of the VMs don't have private IPs that pfSense can reach already then that might be all you can do.
Otherwise it's really only the bridge option and that would definitely be a last resort solution for me.

Steve

Were you still able to connect to the LAN side of pfSense? Open the webgui?

Were you able to connect to the console? What did/does that show for the interfaces?

Is it even booted correctly?

If you have pfSense configured with a PPPoE WAN then it won't connect to another router without switching that to DHCP.

@dobby_ said in Installed Packages Notification - pfSense+:

could be a nice place to test something out. Or? Realtime
on telegram or eMail report daily or weekly would also
there available.

Read again this part.

@mdhurrtn said in Plex server running, but cannot find on windows 10 pro internal network:

Just no IP addresses.

If they had no ip address they wouldn't work, by default pfsense defaults to 192.168.1.1 and hands out IPs via dhcp on the 192.168.1 network.

Look in the status dhcp leases for what your devices IPs are, or look on the devices themselves for what their IPs are.

Then try to pin down exactly what is failing when it happens.

Is it a DNS probem?

Is it a routing problem?

Is traffic being blocked?

Steve

Ah, yes the Squid package has probably not yet been adapted to php 8.1. I would expect it to throw errors like that until it's updated.

MRTG on RaspBerry PI

@hansve That error is because something was run on Diagnostics > Command prompt that exceeded the memory allocated to render a page in php.

Without knowing what was run it's pretty much impossible to diagnose further.

Appreciate all if the info!!

Will

@jessicaseuk Wished you had format as legacy with GPT, though.

@stephenw10 Yeah, I never saw an ARP query initiated by the ISP over several hours of capturing all ARP traffic on the WAN port.

@mrjoli021 are these IPv6 addresses?

Maybe you just need a bigger screen? ;)

I have 4 columns of widgets, the firewall widget is in the far right column, and not seeing this, even with 5 digit ports.

So you maybe have texted zoomed in your browser?

If I make my browser window smaller, I take it this sort of what your seeing?

Some of the older 'easy smart' switches failed to handle VLANs correctly. You could not remove ports from VLAN1 meaning broadcasts leaked between VLANs. I have one of those.

I also have a newer, much more expensive, TP-Link switch and it works great, no complaints.

I'm not aware of any particular issues with their current low end switches either.

Set the LAN interface to use a different subnet. 192.168.100.1/24 would work fine.
