No, the input validation will prevent you entering a bad gateway at the initial setup like that. You would have to either connect to the webgui from the LAN or add a gateway manually as a temporary workaround to get WAN access/

The servers should still be accessible.

But I would just reinstall 2.7.2 and restore your config.

@Gertjan it didnt but I did try it earlier on.

It was weird the only thing I have changed in months was adding DHCPv6 which is why I set it back to none. I guess it could have just been unrelated and fixed when it rebooted but I thought i should mention it as thats what I did.

@SteveITS

that answered it. many thanks!

@t44hunt92 the new installer support VGA

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/download-installer-image.html

This installer works with both serial and VGA consoles.

@santammapr said in Unable to install pfsense 2.7.2 (no internet connection, no proxy settings):

Is this an offline installer: pfSense-CE-2.7.2-RELEASE-amd64.iso.gz

Yep, that is an offline installer.

Hi,

I am facing the pfsense Crash report . Its fressh setup. The firewall keeps rebooting.

i upgrade it to 8GB
snort

@Gertjan I had no idea about the RSS feed for the dashboard... it was not there by default. Good to know! Thx.

@jimp you're my savior!!
Oh my... thank you thank you thank you!!!

@svandive

I foolishly also made this assumption thinking it should have just worked out of the box.

The issue im getting is after various permutations messing with CSM, secure boot, various USB sticks and other variables, i still cannot pass (this is just past the splash page to even install pfsense). The only thing left i havent tried is a BIOS update.

Going forward this should be less of an issue. We reduced the memory requirement for pkg by using a different compression.

You are seeing no branches like that?

I mean it's definitely more secure to stop passing traffic until the admin corrects a config mismatch than to just keep passing traffic on what might be correct. For example this is the same situation you might hit after importing a config into entirely new hardware where no NIC/Interface can be guaranteed.

I agree though it would be better to tie the interfaces to a specific MAC to prevent re-ordering. But doing so is non-trivial.

There have been a few feature requests open for this over the years. Like: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/410

Yes, it will definitely have changed your NDI which is why you're seeing the repo check failures.

If you send me your NDI and order number in chat I can check it.

The i210/i219 NIC uses the igb driver and the x550 NIX uses ixgbe. So if you boot the firewall with a config that contains igb0-4 assigned it will drop to the interface assign screen at the console because two of those no longer exist That's expected.

Not really! If I could I'd try to replicate it that way but so far I've been unable to.
