    @kprovost Though my eye is untrained, I would agree that mine looks very similar. It has happened only once, so I will keep an eye on it and watch for when 24.11 goes GA. Thanks. --Larry

    They will not give you even a carrier grade NAT IPv4 address? You should be able to access IPv6 sites from LAN OK as long as the ISP are sending you a fix delegation to use on internal interfaces? Are LAN clients receiving a routable IPv6 address? Steve

    Yup you can't install a pkg for 2.6 into 2.7.0. If you managed to force that to happen it will likely break things. It should work fine in 2.7.2.

    Hmm, so using Windows NPS your user is able to login directly in priviledge mode? How is that configured? Do you have logs from the switch? This probably isn't actually pfSense related if it's just between Freeradius and the switch.

    The packages should be updated during the upgrade anyway. The new pkg system with dynamic repos makes accidentally pulling in packages from the wrong repo thankfully far more difficult. Since 23.09.1 you've had to opt in to the new repo when an update is available.

    Yes you will need a least that. But you may also need the IGMP proxy configured, possibly at both ends, so that clients can see the streams and subscribe to them.

    @Gertjan said in Dynamic DNS client "extracted from local system": To know if the WAN IP really changed ? Easy. Store the latest succeeded updated WAN IPv4 address locally. This is the cache file. Compare the actual WAN IPv4 with the cache ;: Just going to take this opportunity to point out that this causes a problem in the case where we restore to a replacement router in our lab before delivery. DDNS is updated to our office IP. Live router will not update because its cached IP didn’t change. (Workaround is to manually modify the file on disk to fool it, as I recall)

    @stephenw10 system - advanced - networking - ipv6 options - no checks, but... the WAN - IPv6 Configuration Type - DHCP6 so I changed to none. Thank you sir!

    ::1 is IPv6 localhost. Unbound should listen on that address by default but you may have disabled that. Or if you have enabled the forwarder instead. If you have upgraded from a much older version you might have it added specifically in System > General Setup and can remove it from there.

    @stephenw10 Well, we're at 48 hours without an incident after switching the ethernet cable that connects the ONT to the router, so it's pretty safe to say you were correct saying it was hardware Thank you for your support, honestly I wouldn't have guessed a damaged cable would cause something so intermittent and short Kind Regards, Mylo

    @stephenw10 that is insane.. I had a device that had a multicast mac set on it, company screw up.. It could work - but it could also cause some problems. It was a networking bridge for electric consumption meter, current cost by envi if I recall.. Had to be 10 years ago, I remember it working until I moved it something other than a dumb switch - then I ran into issues.. I remember having to do something with igmp snooping.

    An update for anyone who may be experiencing this issue. This issue is caused by ATT's RG firmware. The latency spikes and jitter are resolved on the BGW320-505 as of firmware 6.30.5. This issue was somewhat widely discussed at /r/ATTFiber. Shame on ATT for taking 8+ months to release a firmware which fixed it. And I was only able to get the firmware update by working with a redditor who had a high-level engineering contact at ATT, who was able to MANUALLY push the firmware update to my device. Who knows when it would have rolled out to me... Thank you to @stephenw10 for the help along the way.

    I will say that I've only ever seen issues like that when using UFS without RAM disks enabled. Using ZFS or enabling RAM disks should prevent it for the vast majority of cases.

    @mucip said in Internet lost in PfSense but VPN or everythingelse work well?: the monitoring and what is used for? And nice stats : [image: 1731513090451-79f298d6-5237-4445-8459-f960de6df354-image.png] Monitoring the device in front of your pfSense, the ISP router, only tells you something about the cable between them and nothing much about your entire WAN connection. Monitoring for example 8.8.8.8 tells you something about the 'quality' of the connection up until 8.8.8.8. This will includes your entire 'ISP' WAN connection.

    @stephenw10 said in Route pfsense itself over VPN.: Hmm, well it sure seems like it's set to serial as primary console from what you're seeing. But as I say you should be able to see which is set at the vga console. Success !!! I made the mistake when creating a static route by typing ip address of openvpn server and then selecting the subnet. Selecting the subnet was a mistake that caused pfsense to be stuck at boot. I created new static route by typing the openvpn server address, chose the appropriate WAN and saved the setting. After reboot, pfsense booted just fine. I created additional static routes for the remaining vpn clients and everything just worked. Rebooted once again, no issues. Then i selected openvpn client as a default gateway and that was it. All tailscale clients are now going through vpn, and all vpn clients connect without any issues after reboot. Thank you very much Stephen. All this would not be possible without your help. Im marking this thread as resolved. Cheers.
