    Looks like DNS is working but none of your other traffic is getting out. I doubt that's a problem specific to pkg, but something in your connectivity from the firewall in general. Run through the list at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/connectivity.html and find out what specifically is failing.

    finally fix my netgate sg1100. the problem was that I needed a special iso for my firewall. the isos that are on the pfsense page cannot be installed on a netgate firewall. since these are for amd64 (intel and amd cpus). the isos that are on the pfsense page are 800 mb approx. the iso that netgate sent me for my sg1100 are 1.5gb. its all ok for now. have a good life. Regards.

    Turns out the Seagate 500GB HD failed ! Lucky I guess to find it now, it has 42650 hours on time and dated 2011. I tried to format to NTFS but failed - oh well good exercise I guess.

    @ta2oo said in Missing LAN Interface: I had only applied to the interfaces to the client VMs. I'm so glad you successfully configured the interfaces. Yesterday unfortunately I could not look into the forum we had a little Citrix problem. btw: Reading this way, I thought you had an interface pass-through issue... When we talk about hypervisor, we almost always make mistakes here this point....

    pfSense 2.4.5-p1 is not running FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE, it's running FreeBSD 11.3-STABLE@r357046, which is closer to 11.4 than 11.3. The main advantage to moving to 11.4 is for security patches from upstream, which we can always apply manually if needed. We employ several FreeBSD developers, so such changes are not typically problematic. If something comes along which needs addressed, we'll address it.

    @Hunta If this is what you have between your phone outlet and pfsense WAN then you need to get an ADSL modem in between and hope you haven't fried your ethernet port.

    @gwaitsi said in help to recover config.xml: @JeGr there is no longer docs for filer. links just take you to current netgate package list, which does not include filer. There may be no current docs to filer, but the package exists, as I have installed it on stable and dev versions without problems. But just add your complete filepath (File), a description, the default permission (0644 should be fine), and the content of the file. I'd set the execute mode to "do not run" to be on the safe side but it shouldn't do anything if you don't enter a script/command above it. If a file is configured that way in Filer it gets created and reinstated after a config.xml restore just fine.

    Update: I heard back from Netgate, and they suggested I restart the PHP engine from the console and then restart the webConfigurator process. I'd restarted the webConfigurator but never the PHP-FRM, so that seems to have been the issue. Now it's running on 2.4.4 with the restored backup and webCfg working.

    So knock on wood I have not had any issues, well one on a old 2440 that had lost power.. But normally all the pfsense I have are on good ups, and normally stable power anyway. But I have planned on my own 4860 to move to zfs when 2.5 comes out and take the time to upgrade to that.. Just going bring it up on zfs then.

    @gklimeck said in PFsense & Unifi USG working togeather: Ubiquity is making things proprietary and I I am sure anytime now we will see a subscription model soon. That I don't see. Nope, there are too many thing GPL etc. that can't be just made closed source etc. But UDMs were a real bummer for me after checking it out. Sure, controller, switch, AP AND USG in one box sound too good to be true anyways but seeing a gateway/firewalling device dumbed down to such levels was really crude. My brother is running one and first thing I did was letting him shop for a Raspi4, throwing Pi-Hole and OVPN on it and have DHCP/DNS running over the Raspi as the Controller UI and USG is THAT bad for simple DNS/DHCP things that are "normal" coming from pfSense.

    @PaulRAU said in Upgrade stopped part way through due to network dropout: SG-3100 I'm almost certain you will need an image from Netgate. You open a ticket and they will provide that very quickly. You will then burn that to a usb stick and install the image over the top of what you have and all should be good. Repost this in the Netgate hardware sub-forum to get someones attention faster. @stephenw10

    @jwj said in 2.5 Release Date vs Abandoned for TNSR Development: I'll add this: When you come here with some concern or request and you get sorted a simple thank you would be a good thing. These people deserve that! A little thumbs up (yes, the button, that pun was intended!) and a thank you can go a LONG way to make everyone putting in effort to help, leave with a good feeling and a reason/the will to help again. Couldn't agree more. :)
  • pc engines boards, ALiX, APU and APU2 hardware compatibility list?

    @all There's no need for a compat list for PCengines boards, as both ALIX and APU1 are "dead" (out of production and support) and you don't get them anymore besides very very old stock lying around in some dusty little shop. Only APU2-4 (that are essentially the same SOC-wise) are current and actively sold and supported by PCengines. And as APU2 is a 64bit APU it runs the latest version of pfSense without problems. Also if you still want to shop age-old hardware (why?!) be aware, that there's no hardware anymore for replacement or repairs as the SOCs they used (APU1, Alix) aren't built anymore. That's also why APU1 had such a short lifetime (besides other shortcomings and stability issues) as replacement parts for the SOC weren't available anymore. So just do yourself a favor and leave old hardware alone ;)
