      When i execute your command from root in a shell on pfSense:

      adding VIF, Ix 0 Fl 0x0 IP 0xe201a8c0 vmx2, Threshold: 1, Ratelimit: 0
      There must be at least 1 Vif as upstream.

      that's it...

      Later today i will be able to reboot the machine.
      Perhaps the newly added vlan has not been setup correctly from boot-time...

        You might try even more verbose: igmpproxy -vvd /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf

        Which interface is vmx2?

        Does the actual conf in /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf look correct?

          @stephenw10 said in IGMP Proxy doesn't start:

          igmpproxy -vvd /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf

          Beeing more verbose showed that igmpproxy doesn't see the new vlan when it starts up: vmx3.101

          I hope it can be solved by rebooting the router, but there has not been a good moment yet.

          vmx2 is the LAN, which is the downstream for the proxy.

            Confirmed: After a reboot the igmpproxy is able to find vmx3.101 and can start correctly.

              So i think pfSense should investigate this...

              Is there a guide on how to setup igmp proxy for Caiway multicast TV ?

                That does seem unexpected. I can't immediately see why a reboot would make any difference there. The only time that would normally be required is if something set a loader value. There are some vmx loader values that might apply but you'd have to manually set them.
                If you can repeat this it's probably worth opening a bug report for.

                  Am i correct in concluding that pfSense Plus is no longer free for HomeLabs ?

                    At this time it's not available, yes.

                      So first Netgate asks every enthousiastic home user to feel free to register and buy the plus license for 0 euro, and now this has been disabled ?

                      My problem: the Packages List doesn't show anything... i understand this is because i have added a NIC to my router ?

                      Can i re-activate my license ?
