pfsense stopped at vlan and interface prompt on every reboot
-
I started using pfsense about 2 months ago. Installed and configured it. Everything went well. It had been up and running since until last week due to power outage. The proxmox came back fine but pfsense stopped at the vlan and interface prompt (similar to initial setup prompt).
Long story short, every time I reboot pfsense since, it always prompts the vlan question and interface assignment prompt.
Setup:
My pfesense is a virtual machine running on proxmox with two physical interfaces. My pfsense is configured to have 4 interfaces:
WAN: vtnet1
LAN: vtnet0
OPT1: tun_wg0
OPT2: tailscale0After reboot, it only prompts me for WAN, LAN, and OPT1.
I also confirmed that I've removed the installer from the virtual CD drive. Pfsense is not booting from a "live" cd.
After I answers the vlan question and interface assignment, pfsense boots fine with my configurations (except OPT2, which I had to manually configure after).
Thought? Appreciate in advance. Thanks.

It's because tailscale interfaces are not excluded from the interface check and they do not exist at that point. And that's because you should not assign tailscale interfaces like that.

Thanks!! I removed tailscale0 interface and it rebooted fine. I will have to find a way to route packets from LAN to remote hosts through tailscale. Thanks again!

Yup, tailscale should do that for you.
