    Based on what I've seen this morning on my system, try setting the firewall WAN interface to force 100base TX Full-Duplex.  If that fixes it check that your WAN cable is really CAT6 capable.

    @Derelict: Isn't that CPU 64-bit? Why not run amd64? With the 64Bit version of pfSense it works like a charm. Thank you for the tip, you nailed it ;-) Grtz DeLorean

    We have also had a case where the DNS Forwarder or Resolver was enabled but not bound to localhost (127.0.0.1), so the chroot had no working DNS. We have a fix in for this in future versions, but for the time being, make sure you have localhost selected in your DNS Resolver or Forwarder configurations for good measure. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6557

    Looks like it lost contact with the disk or it received errors from the disk. That most likely is not a pfSense problem but a storage issue in vmware.

    I suspected that was the case. Generally speaking, I haven't had that many issues with reinstalling, though I've found it's best to just nuke and repave and slap in the config file. Even then, I wouldn't want to have to walk a non tech through a reinstall unless the backup was very current. An install from scratch otoh is easy enough I had considered at one point just sending each site a refurb quad port to stick in a safe place. Just add pc. I just picked some nice used supermicros from ebay - dual 5620's so they have the AES-NI extensions. In half depth chassis they just fit in my wall mount racks. By the time I have these deployed, I hope to find just a few more, so with completely mirrored hardware and interface assignments, a monkey can restore them. With a pair of 'new' refurb Intel ssd's, I only have about $250 into each unit, so keeping a shelf spare or two for overnight shipment is doable. We do only very light touch filtering, known malware sites, slapping down unencrypted bittorrent and so forth, and I'm finding I spend close to zero time babysitting the filtering as opposed to having to hover over Sophos constantly. My pci scans are due, and for the first time I can remember, I'm actually looking forward to it.

    mSATA is a much better fit for that, but send a message to us via support for more info on what you can do there.

    Hi, You can edit /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc Find: function get_dir($dir) { $dir_array = array(); $d = dir($dir); while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) { array_push($dir_array, $entry); } $d->close(); return $dir_array; } Replace with: function get_dir($dir) { $dir_array = array(); $d = dir($dir); if(!is_object($d)) { return array(); } while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) { array_push($dir_array, $entry); } $d->close(); return $dir_array; } This will fix that specific error.

    I've seen this multiple time upgrading NANO on APU boards. I also often get a successful upgrade message but the system never comes back up. Power cycling has always brought it backup again to a successful p5 (to summarize - the upgrades are working… sometime with failed sometimes OK - but often dont re-boot without power cycling (NANO & full install - all APU)

    I don;t have a smart switch handy to play with. But with ones I have done in the past I just reserved a port for that VLAN1 - e.g. leave just port 1 on VLAN1, then put ports 2-8 on VLAN2 and 9-16 on VLAN3, that sort of thing. Then I always had physical port 1 to plug into if needed.

    @phunni: If I downgrade, will the dansguardian package become available? It occurs to me that, since it's no longer supported, it might just not be available anymore. For the benefit of future readers, the packages for 2.2.* are still online for installs from 2.2.* systems. But they are no longer being maintained - e.g. if there are new versions of the underlying upstream code to fix security stuff or… then you won't get them.

    Yeh, it depends on the situation. In the case you describe, you want to failover even though the "primary" WAN is actually up (it is slow for a known reason). In many cases the netadmin wants to know that the link is up (even if overloaded), and keep using it (because, for example, the backup link is even slower). So "it depends".

    @sporkme: Any idea why the 2.3 upgrade shoved me to i386?  This is not a modern box, but it was running amd64 and the one cause I could find googling did not seem to be my issue.  My backup config had this line, which I don't think forces me to a "non-standard" update URL (or is it?): That's the standard update URL, but for 32 bit. The 64 bit URL has amd64 in it. You manually set it to that at some point. It's no longer possible to intentionally or unintentionally switch architectures in >=2.3, so it won't happen again. But you should reinstall 2.3.1 64 bit and restore your config backup to get back to 64 bit. You can include the RRD data in the backup and it'll restore post-reinstall.

    @divsys: It's not likely that any of your described attempts would create an xml file that the pfSense Restore system would understand. If you're trying to do a batch setup of DHCP static addresses, try: Manually create two or three static assignments in DHCP. Export the xml data using the pfSense Backup system, selecting only DHCP for Backup. Examine the xml file using a text editor and note the key data lines Cut and paste a few lines of data from your previous attempts to modify the file exported in 2) Import the modified file using the pfSense Restore facility and verify the DHCP changes occur as you expect. Repeat the modification with rest of your data. It's not that hard once you get an idea of what the file should look like internally. I tried this and the xml files were completely different. I ended up just manually entering them in. It took a fair amount of work but it will be worth it.
