    Ahh that's brilliant, I didn't equate that option in the advanced settings with the config file. Many thanks

    What are those IPs? How is the OpenVPN server configured? What change caused this to start? Steve

    @ericarias1984 Figured it out. Looks like the password I was using was too long (must have been truncating it).

    @accidentalit said in Configure Comcast static IP on WAN: Static IP Range: 50.199.13.49 - 50.199.13.49 CIDR Block Number: 50.199.13.48/30 Gateway IP Address: 50.199.13.50 Subnet Mask IP Address: 255.255.255.252 If they have assigned you those IPs you should just be able to enter them in pfSense and it will work. There's nothing else you can do in pfSense to make that work. If it's not working it's with the Comcast modem that isn't configured to use it or Comcast is not routing that subnet to you. It sounds like your connection is configured for a dynamic IP and hasn't been reconfigured as static yet. Steve

    @pvasirani your clients asking pfsense for dns should have whatever search suffixes they want to use on themselves. If you want unbound to ask specific NS your running locally on your network when a client asks for something, this would be setup in a domain override on unbound.

    Nope the upgrade will take care of it. The patch will remain in the package but will show as applied because it's already in 22.01. You can just delete it at that point, do not revert it! Steve

    Yup, that's most likely. Apply the patch here against 21.05.2 to disable it before 22.01: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11933#note-7 Steve

    Yeah, it's fixed in 22.01. pcdcd is not run unless it's needed, which is almost never. Steve

    Yup, that ^. You can't run pfSense and something else there unless both are virtualised. Steve

    Nothing I can think if currently. Yeah any sort of packet loss will kill throughput.

    Hmm, those are really the only config options available to you? If so you can only connect outbound. One option there is to have some external server at a public IP, say something cloud based, and connect out to that from both the internal pfSense and external clients. Steve

    @trumee Glad to see you got it working. I don't have any access to a system with a PPPoE interface to test with but I'll see if I can put these notes in the instructions for others who might want to do the same.

    Right so add an IPAlias at 10.0.0.100 on the pfSense LAN in that subnet. Then add a port forward (or 1:1 NAT rule) for 10.0.0.100 to the new IP on the other side of the tunnel. Steve

    @stephenw10 said in Is a read-only installation possible?: And floppy disks. They were horrible, just plain horrible - that we thought it was good tech is like moving from stone knives to first copper/tin-bronze swords.. Yeah they are better than a sharp rock.. But they don't compare to high carbon steel, etc. They always failed when you needed them most, and while might work in your drive - took it somewhere and that drive alignment being a bit off and you couldn't read your disk.. The 3.5 were better than the old 5.25 that were so great when they came out. Especially when you could just use your hole punch and double the capacity ;) What was NT 3.1 like 20 something floppies.. I had bunch of old floppy drives on my shelf for quite some time, a few years back I finally said.. WTF would I ever need these for and got rid of them ;) If anyone has fond memories of such setups - its that nostalgic thing that happens when your remember shit that was horrible fondly ;) edit: "Rosy Retrospection" was the term I was looking for ;)

    Then it's probably not booting correctly. Connect to the console directly and see what's happening.

    @ikonomn said in DHCP Leases: I am VERY new to firewall and networks so.... Like saying " I don't have my type rating for the Boeing 737 I just bought". (pfSense being the Boeing here ;) ) That's not an issue. I'll tell you something that needs no understanding : we're all born with any networking knowledge. ( I'm even born before all this existed ) So, the extreme good news is : you'll be good for the walking down the road we all took. Take a book, see a good movie, take your time. And, as I'm curious, tell us if you found a short cut ;) edit : And keep the Boeing : I advise you to get X-Planes and the ZIBO 737 mod. Some other pay-ware tools are strongly advised, like the Navigraph / Jeppesen charts - and get these paddles and joystick out of the box. This took me two years ....... and a lot of virtual crashes. Didn't find any short cuts.
