this hardware is based on " 2.1.5-RELEASE (i386) "

installed SQUID version is 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.4
Squidguard version is 1.4_4

i've removed the packages as mentioned and update, after the update had to reinstall the packages.
configuration was picked up automatically
thank you

Hmm, interesting. At least you've proved it's not a pfSense specific issue.
I'm on Plusnet and seeing very few issues. However if you are you should get on to their support forum and ask because they have real people with real technical knowledge there who will help. One of their support guys went to amazing lengths to pin down a fault I found.

Are you on fibre? I used a V120 with their adsl2 service for years.

Thanks Steve, moving discussion over to Plusnet Support Forum http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,137223.0.html

Or alternatively, I was thinking of posting a bounty for this… what do you all think would be a reasonable amount for adding something like this? I was thinking $500-1000 USD?

Whoa,

Got this working.

The interface used for WAN under hyperV (sconfig, not vswitch in VMMC) was set to DHCP.
I set this interface to static:
IP = ISP Gateway ip (don't think IP matters)
Gateway = ISP gateway IP
DNS = ISP DNS ip

So in CMD prompt it appears as going to my ISP. LAN interface was already set to the same subnet range as PFsense LAN.

So now everything it working fine for internet traffic etc.

What do I do about the DNS resolver issue in bootup? Should I still go for a reinstall with regards to this?

Check the /cf/conf/config.xml file. I've found that this file sometimes doesn't update correctly when uninstalling a package (in my case, nrpe), and you end up seeing the package listed in 'installed packages' even after it's been removed. Check the 'installedpackages' section and see if Squidguard is still listed. You might want to make sure that it's been properly uninstalled before editing the file, though.

2.2.1 27th Feb snap boots fine on my box in a configuration that previously threw this error.

Thanks!  :)

Dell 755.

Not sure why it acts like that.

Just to be clear you switched to IKEv2 on the Soekris box?

Hello,

Just to let you know that my IPv6 is working now, again it seemed to be a faulty firewall rule. Once the connection established between my "pfsense" <-> "default isp gw" everything else went fine.

. public addresses 2800:160:17C5::/48
. internal addresses 2800:160:17C5:1~4::/64

Initially I messed up with dhchpv6, then manual ipv6, finally stateless :-) and it works all right!

Again, thank you all for your great comments and support!

If you have LAN and WAN, then everything is blocked coming from WAN. You need to access from LAN (make a VM client on LAN side) or the console. From there you can add pass rules on WAN if you need to allow access from a "private" WAN side to manage it.

This https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/1508/files isn't yours ??

I'll post in git to tack the attention back here.

The rrd data will not survive across an architecture but usually simply doesn't appear. If you have a backup of the config file without rrd data try that.

Successful in booting 2.2 from another usb stick without any fuss. Must have been some compatibility issue with the first usb stick and 2.2 so I will use it for 2.1

Indeed it does!  ::)

In NanoBSD the filesystem is supposed to be mounted read-only. It gets re-mounted as read write only when a config change is saved. It is designed that way to prevent excess writes to flash media.

I am trying to make change in GitHUB now for everyone.  I made this change but and others for 64 bit which I think spawned jimp to change it.  But there is that one change I made that didn't get into it.  I will try again tonight see if I can get github to work with me .. still learning it

I was the one that fixed the LED's on the Crystalfontz displays so I did it in past lets see if I can do it again

In 2.2 you can use 'hybrid' mode which allows you to add your own rules but keep the automatic rules added for a new interface.

You did not install… You are booting live CD.
