    Hmm, interesting. A number of systems had the opposite problem there, the legacy console did not boot. I suspect that might be an early UEFI BIOS then with some.... quirks! Steve

    That entirely depends on what your DC built for you. It sounds like you might need to answer 'yes' to setup VLANs and then add VLAN ID 221 with igb0 as the parent, and then assign that as WAN, using an IP address from your subnet, with the correct mask, and then set the ISP gateway they gave you as the gateway.

    Just wanted to report that issue was resolved. The sha256sum hash of the iso.gz file was reported correctly however I discovered the files hadn't been extracted correctly when unzipped. My only suggestion would be to list a sha256sum hash of the actual iso file in addition to the iso.gz file. Thanks.

    Ah, great. Coming from 2.3.4 or earlier can be a bit sketchy. There are several repo and upgrade package updates that need to apply before you see the 2.4.X updates. Glad you were able to resolve it. Steve

    Reading the guides we have posted is the best bet. Verify your hardware will work with 2.4.4-p2, we no longer offer support for 32bit OS, nor Nano images. When that is done, I would suggest doing an install and restore: The fastest path to getting onto current with less issues will be to take a backup right now (Diagnostics -> backup and restore, download XML). Downloading the latest/greatest, install, and recover. Depending on hardware this will be under 15 minutes. If you go the upgrade route you might be waiting over 30 minutes depending on what's going on.

    Thanks for the reply sorry I wasn’t clear the other config was for a PF sense box that I have that is already up and running I was hoping I could put the config on the system that I couldn’t get to access the Internet and try it that way even with the config from the working PF sense box it still was not able to connect to the Internet at this point I’m at a loss I reset the config several times the only thing that I haven’t tried yet is downloading a fresh copy Any other ideas? What would a good firewall entry look like

Remember : we all have been there - and most of us seen it all already. We're all expert in doing this fast, good and stable (so you can pass on to other things fast !) Thank you so much for your encouragement. I also thought about abandoning Virtualization, because that's the problem in my opinion. Thanks again

    pfSense is not configured to support multiple disks other than hardware raid or geom mirrors (or ZFS pools). There is no provision to mount additional disks in the GUI. It has been done before but some custom scripting is required to make sure services relying on additional disks are handled gracefully should the disk not be mounted for example. For logging you can install the syslog-ng package and specify the storage location on another disk. Then export the pfSense logs to it. Again though you can edit the fstab to mount that but it may be overwritten. Hosting a syslog server externally is the recommended way to go. Steve

    Which SSD type is it? mSATA or 2.5" SATA? If it's mSATA be sure the slot you are using in the other machine is actually mSATA and not mPCIe. Steve

    I fixed the backup and restore by downloading the file from the master on Redmine. I'm still getting the javascript line appended to the config.xml before applying the patch. The patch worked, backups look good again. Thanks!

    If you are coming from 2.4.2 or 2.4.3, I would uninstall all packages first, then upgrade, then manually add them back once you are on 2.4.4. If you follow all of the recommended steps at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/upgrade-guide.html you should be fine.

    Through a packet capture on interface facing the radius server, I found that the ip address was malformed and radius server was dropping the access-request packet. This was a great discovery, as I found the line 218 in radius.php file is not the problem. I have been asking for NAS-IP-ADDRESS support in the Radius client for what seems like years. They finally added it to the Radius process as a valid attribute, but from what I can tell, it defaults to the WAN interface, which for me also happened to be dhcp. With the services starting and dhcp not yet available, the line 218 failed to find the dhcp address and in return failed on line 218. Fix: Assign the interface facing the Radius server as the NAS-IP-ADDRESS, which is most likely your LAN interface and should be "static". This change should be done under System>User Manager > Authentication Servers > (edit) Radius Server> Choose NAS-IP-ADDRESS interface from drop down menu. Note** Traffic from FW Radius Client sources from the egressing interface of firewall. This ip address does not have to match the NAS-IP-ADDRESS, but should be same for ease of configuration on Radius Server.
