No access after update to 23.09.1
-
@aaronssh log on with console run pfctl -d and access GUI check your config.xml file search for separators check to see if they are listed correctly.
I had ghost ones that were deleted years ago and where mixing up the order on my firewall when I updated.
-
I have same issue. I thought that it is because o USB NIC. But maybe I have some issue in config. Is there some way, how to check config file, that do not contain issues?
-
@GeorgeCZ58 you got to do it by hand, I used a diff checker for before and after that helps pinpoint issues
-
The question was: is there a way to do this without physical access. The building is locked and I can't get in.
I can SSH into the system but the menu doesn't display like it usually does. Instead it's just a black screen that lets me type but doesn't seem to respond to anything that I type. Is there some kind of command I can type to get back to the regular menu? I've never seen SSH to pfSense do that before.
-
@aaronssh try pfctl -d to disable the firewall rules temporarily

@aaronssh that is not good its like its not responding. Can you directly access it?? You need to plug in the console cable at this point
-
If anyone is curious, I got physical access today and the router was having a kernel panic on every boot:
I did a clean install of 23.09.1 and restored from backup and then all was well.

@aaronssh great job
-
Hmm, that looks like a drive issue. Check the SMART status. Consider replacing it.
