Issue resolved after attaching USB LAN card. Now I am getting full upload and download speed with MDS and SNORT enabled. It is stable for now lets see how it work for one week :)

All good sorry. No idea what happened

Today testing with rum USB WiFi adapter. Removed previously used WiFi interface, reboot, install new settings, in most default settings. Crashed only when I set Access Point mode for WiFi adapter. On Client modes work w/o crash. P.S. Early version of pfSense was ok on AP mode.

@jimp Since it's happened twice to me (and I only find a very few instances of anyone else having the issue), I'm assuming there must be something marginal about my SG-4860. Hopefully, that won't grow into anything worse. But, next time, I'll try to remember to watch it through the console. Thanks for the reply.

@154218K2 FWIW, the system in my sig works fine on 2012R2. What server ver? Tried Gen 1? Yes, I did have the 2.4.5 CPU problem, but I had checkpointed before update so rollback was no issue. I'd probably create a fresh 2.4.5-p1 Gen 1 machine and restore your backed up config, and give it the same MACs as your previous machine so limited downtime if you have to turn one off and the other on. HTH

As a last resort, I have tried to install pfSense 2.4 using ZFS as the file system and it finally installed. However, I am seeing some error message after completing the boot. Here is what I am getting: CAM status: Uncorrectable parity/CRC error Retrying command WRITE_FPDMA_QUEUED. ... I have just validated the disk a few days ago and don't believe that there is a physical problem with the disk. So, I am assuming that it is once again some kind of compatibility issue. Will do some research on it, but at least I can now take a look at the Web UI. Finally some progress!

@jimp said in Cannot uninstall nor upgrade squidGuard: Hey, that's me! ... But I take no offense because it is a giant kludge. It does have some rare but specific useful purposes, but it gets used as a sledgehammer more often than not. You... you... klutz Jokes aside sometimes I wish the package would be hidden in some "debug/expert" options only. I see that popping up far too often for my liking. Often the cultprits aren't even sure why they installed it or it's because of misunderstood problems (restarts of unbound because DNS errors etc.) Can't we hide it from the UI and only allow it to be installed hands-on via shell/ssh? Or just throw a big red box of test above it so it's understood, that it's only a workaround but no "solution"? But as for the OP problem: is the "new" pkg tool somehow more sensible for running services? We had our share of problems after updating to 2.4.5p1 and afterwards, too and most of them are due to pkg deadlocking or stalling with packages, especially the big ones like FRR, Squid, pfBlocker? As a side note: It would be nice to have a tool like service restart, that could use trigger/event conditions like other internal processes do e.g. WAN down/renewed IP, gateway fail, service xy restart, package (re/un)install, sync, whatever ;) That would be more in the way of the "shellcmd" package but it would make quite a few things easier to handle :) Especially a hook like "after any change written to config.xml" would be incredibly nice for doing some backup'py stuff.

These kinds of installation issues are quite rare. I'm not sure we have enough information to precisely tell you the problem or how to fix it, but maybe we can start to work it out. FreeBSD (and thus pfSense) can boot using UEFI since FreeBSD 10.1, however, depending on the BIOS/UEFI in your laptop it might help to enable CSM (Compatibility Support Module) to allow booting in legacy BIOS mode. CSM enabled should generally be the most safe option (my experience). Regarding AHCI or IDE this is mostly to do with your SATA ports, but may affect USB drives aswell. AHCI mode should be default, IDE being legacy mode for very many years now. Installation to USB drives is generally a bad idea, since the controllers and NAND chips on USB drives are not really geared for that kind of workload. You should REALLY consider installation to a small SSD or even a Harddrive. At least to work out if the issue is related to the one or more USB drives, that you have attempted to use.

So after hours of fun it truns out this is a bug. See https://forum.netgate.com/search?term=stuck%20after%20deinstall&in=titlesposts for more details. In short you need to stop the squid services before the re-install can complete successfully!

Glad you have got it working. -Rico

Hi, Contact support. They give you the steps to update your SG-1100 so everything is fine again.

1: Boot offset could be your Bios (hw) clock being wrong. Check & Correct 2: Investigate the NTP peers Diagnostics -> Command prompt Run the command : ntpq -p [image: 1592591691605-3bbf1e64-255a-4308-b256-6276776cadfb-image.png] Paste output here /Bingo

@reza-mnp said in unbound DNS Resolver Will Not Start: Shared object "libevent-2.1.so.7" not found, required by "unbound-checkconf" "libevent-2.1.so.7" is not /var/unbound/unbound.conf. I saw this one https://forum.netgate.com/topic/154509/libevent-2-1-so-7-not-found and I can create that situation rather easily : by deleting that lib file. Still, there is not enough info.

Hah, don't I feel stupid. Thank you.

Wow.. Yeah.. Thanks! I think I'm in the market for some new hardware.. It was good to see all that in writing

Given that pfSense is a security product, keeping it up-to-date is critical to ensure that known security issues are addressed regularly. You don't have to jump right on every new release the moment it's out, but you should be getting things updated regularly. There is more general advice in the upgrade guide to help ensure things go smoothly.

The default speed on the installer image and after is 115200, but you might have 9600 stored in your config.xml. Check under System > Advanced, Admin Access tab, at the bottom in the console section. As for the speed in the APU BIOS, that should always have been 115200 as well, especially if you bought it from Netgate. To change that you'd have to go into the APU BIOS, directions for entering that should be printed at the start of the boot process.

@Cool_Corona hi! Another Dane here ;-) Usually when I test up against 'Fiberby ApS' in speedtest.net I get several hundred Mbps. I can see (from the page of the result ID of your screenshot) that we use the same provider (Nianet and I guess now it must be GlobalConnect for both of us). But of course we both might have some intermediary ISP in between (I have at least). Please could I ask you to test up against 'Fiberby ApS' (and maybe rerun your original test again)? But only of course if you are currently running pfSense 2.4.5-p1 as I understand if you might needed to roll back to get full speed or do not have time for more tests atm. I haven't updated yet to 2.4.5-p1 due to some preparations I have to make.
