    TNSR is a high-performance software router and VPN concentrator that delivers speed, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. Leveraging technologies like vector packet processing (VPP), TNSR software offers advanced routing and VPN capabilities for enterprises, service providers, and government organizations at an unbeatable total cost of ownership. Today, Netgate has released TNSR software version 26.02.1. This patch release includes several important bug fixes and improvements. All TNSR users are encouraged to update to this latest version. The Release Notes are available for review. This release contains a number of important bugfixes, including: Fixed a crash in clixon due to an unexpected empty tag in host interface configuration Fixed a potential VPF firewall crash if the same connection-creating packets belonging to an endpoint-independent NAT rule land on different workers Fixed a dataplane crash from the VPF firewall with a stateful rule and static NAT for ICMP Installing the TNSR Version 26.02.1 Upgrade For detailed upgrade instructions, please refer to the Upgrade Guide on our TNSR documentation page. We recommend saving a backup of the TNSR configuration before making any significant changes or upgrades. You will find Backup and Recovery instructions on our TNSR documentation page.

    @shood said in install pfsense on opnsense DEC2700: Did you face any problems after installing pfSense on DEC OpenSense? Nope, all working normal. But I did use only the 10Gbit ports (ax0, ax1).

    Giving us the ability to manually set interface speeds and/or duplex settings would be helpful. Explain your use case Say you have a TNSR router and you want to hook it up to an ISP handoff for MPLS or a mux/demux or whatever, their equipment hands off a 10Gbps link to your 10Gbps link, but they may only be providing you 2Gbps bandwidth. This can muddy the waters with OSPF if you don't statically set the link cost. Setting the reference bandwidth to 10Gb and statically setting the speed of the link to 2Gbps would then auto set the OSPF cost of the interface. Another use case would be if you're connecting a 10Gb interface to a 1Gb interface, or some legacy equipment. I do not know the ins and outs of how TNSR negotiates speed/duplex settings, but it can't be good if TNSR decides that a link is 10Gb when it's effectively receiving 1Gbps on the other end. Also if you're in a lab environment, like emulated Eve-NG or GNS3, not being able to set the speeds manually results in inconsistencies in how fast the link actually is so you can't get a good idea of what real-world links/routing tables are going to look like. Describe the problem and propose a solution I've had all of the above problems. Being able to say "speed 1000" or "speed 10000" would have been able to resolve most of my issues without having to buy more transceivers or rearrange what ports are able to dynamically negotiate speeds. (This is prevalent on the older models of TNSR hardware, where the board's NICS could not negotiate, but the add-on card could negotiate speeds). Is it a bug? No, just not a feature.

    @tkerr I truly need a working GUI for TNSR, I can't do this in the command-line because I way too rarely work in the command line. I'm coming from macOS, so yes, I am familiar with the command line and BSD. But like most SMB (not Enterprise) sysadmins I am only occasionally using terminal commands. So the TNSR GUI is mandatory. If the GUI has not ALL features available in TNSR, that's just fine. But common stuff should be available. I would like to use TNSR because we need WireGuard VPN on a symmetric 1Gb/s basis per client. We only have a some ten VPN clients accessing the LAN. But each VPN client should have a bandwidth of 1Gb/s, so with 5 clients that's already 5Gb/s which already seems to be a challenge for pfSense. That's why I think, TNSR would be advisable.

    @dgeist there is a bug on TNSR that prevents to learn neighbor mac while you have map enabled on the interface. The workaround is to configure static neighbor entry.

    @michmoor one of the option you have is to use VRRP instead.

    @root0 you have to email Netgate support and ask for a trial TNSR.

    Hi @Tyronejackson839, Thanks for the awesome advice! Your ACL tips worked perfectly—enabling fragment-checking and lean rules secured my nginx webserver without sacrificing performance. Really appreciate your detailed help! Best, David James | Founder of The Yes No Button!

    @retgvtbyrey I think for TNSR licensed users you can open a support ticket with Netgate and skip the forum even.

  • Does TNSR support PPPOE client and UPNP service ?

    @jwt said in Does TNSR support PPPOE client and UPNP service ?: Of note: we have recently developed a new pppoe stack for FreeBSD (and thus pfsense) which avoids using netgraph. It is netgraph which is causing the poor performance, and the single-threading. I’d expect that code to make its way to a pfsense release in the next six months. I also expect to be able to leverage that code (which we control the copyright to) to be able to implement a VPP based pppoe client for Netgate products. This is extraordinary good news and somewhat buried in this thread. Happy to run tests on one of my routers when you need feedback.

    thanks all for your input. GNS3 and EVE-NG images are on our radar. We are working on this.
