    That could cause it to 'hang' of it exhausts all memory. It wouldn't cause it to run hot though, pcscd doesn't use any significant CPU.

    now I've changed to intel

    What temperatures is it reporting?

    @ccnewb said in Can't ping client to client - Gateway issue?:

    when I set "default gateway IPV4" to Combined_WAN in System > Routing Gateway, and then disable the Firewall LAN rule below, internet stops working.

    Why do you disable it. You need a pass rule to allow internet access.
    But you should set the gateway to 'none' in the rule.

    Thanks for your guide. I followed your steps, by installing the recommended system patch and also applying the custom patch.

    Whatsapp calls now works fine on my Pfsense 2.6.0

    Thanks for help
    In fact I have a error when trying to connect LAM (Ldap Acount Manager) with ldaps://
    I thought it was due to thi CA x509_strict error. but it was not the problem

    I can fom another vm connect in ldaps:// to my ldap...

    The strange thing is when creating CA + cert with openssl then testing the CA and cert with x509_strict I get the same answer...
    => so it is not a pfsense issue ;-)

    You might be better off spanning the ports in Proxmox though. I've never tried that. You wouldn't see the traffic inside PPPoE of course.

    I can see it on the PVE host with tcpdump -i vmbr1 -U -s0 -w - pppoes. But whether it's straightforward to see it with an attached network analysis guest, I have not tried yet.

    @ssmsti said in pfSense kicking off LAN device for trying to download from usenet.:

    I can't get a ip address assigned to the server after that and the server says that the network cable is unplugged.

    Any chance you have a loop on the bridge and stp is disconnecting it?

    If that port is in a bridge how is the bridge configured? The bridge interface is assigned as LAN?

    Check the output at the command line of ifconfig -vma.
    Does pfSense also show the link as down?

    If so that will be logged and may include a reason for it.

    If you add logging to the pass rule(s) on the VLAN then you can see the states opened in the firewall logs by filtering on that interface.

    Not really if you don't have any traffic shaping. 200Mbps is above what you would see if there was a link speed/duplex mismatch. You should check Status > Interfaces for errors though.

    Run top -HaSP on it during the test and see what's actually happening. I'm betting one core will be pegged at 100%.

    Hi stephenw10 and johnpoz,

    I changed the NAT mapping protocol to "any", and now I can access the Wifi router from LAN net. Yay, it's working.

    Thanks so much!

    @michmoor I have not had time to test lately - but if unbound uses a shared cache you can not do this. Now it might be possible with views to do something like this - but last I checked you could not specific do view forwarders, and I don't think it creates a different cache per view.

    Now pretty sure bind can do this, as it creates different caches if not mistaken per view.

    If you want to to do something like this your local dns has to create separate caches, or you run into a problem with unfiltered looking up host.xyz.com and it getting locally cached, and then filtered client asking for host.xyz.com and get returned the cached value vs it looking up via some filtering forwarded dns that would return blocked.

    And the reverse happening where blocked gets cached, and then someone that is suppose to be unfiltered getting back the blocked cache.

    The most reliable way to do this would be to use 2 different dns, that both have same local data.. Where ns1 you run is unfiltered and ns2 you run is filtered. And you point your clients to the specific ns depending if you want them filtered or not filtered.

    Now you might be able to do something new in unbound there has been some changes of late and they did add rpz policies, etc. . I just do not have any need or desire to do this currently.. And of the mindset if worth filtering - worth filtering for all. So haven't played with if this is now possible in an easy to do way.

    edit: Looks like steve mentioned using unbound and dnsmasq on pfsense - yeah that could work for sure.

    NATing on the VTI tunnels is one of the noted restrictions:
    https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/ipsec/routed-vti.html#vpn-ipsec-vti-firewall

    You can only do that by applying it to the assigned interfaces and you can only do that by switching the IPSec filter mode which means you can no longer use policy based IPSec tunnels.

    You could just add an OpenVPN server at site2 and connect to it directly?

    @penguinpages well just bump up this mask to something larger so you can have more IPs on this network.

    Normally going from say to /23 or /22 from /24 is really low impact. Only static set on the devices would have to be touched. Only issue might be if you have other vlans that bump up right next too to the ip range.

    Yeah if your only allowing for 50 ips in teh pool that could be limiting.

    That number at the bottom would be lease in the pool, static reservations are set outside the pool so those shouldn't be listed. it shows you the active pool size you have set there as well with the start and end of the pool address.

    @haidymikhail There are many causes (bad cables, failing NICs, WiFi testing, bad switch configs) that are outside of the software and then a few inside (proxies, intrusion detection).

    What are the drivers for the NICs? Model of NIC? Are you connecting through switching hardware?

    The more detail you have to provide the more likely someone can help point you in the right direction.
