I have two gateways for this firewall -- the default to the WAN and another interface that routes to another pfsense firewall in another building.
It's a 10G link between buildings for backups and access to the private network there.This hopefully doesn't affect anything as it worked without issues with 2.6.x virtualized -- maybe some logging setting is wrong for the private gateway?
-
I see a lot of this in the firewall logs:
-
Yeah that's rotating every few minutes. Unless you have very limited disk space I would set the firewall log larger so it rotates less frequetly and disable log compression so it isn't taxing the CPU each time.
You might also consider changing the ruleset to log less depending on what it's logging.
-
I'll do that and pursue the question of why the firewall is being flooded from that private IP range with the ISP ...
I've got overly large disk space for this firewall so I bumped log size from 512000 to 5120000 an turned off compression.

Ah, nice. Well it would be trivial to add a block rule for just UDP port 10002 without logging enabled. That traffic is odd though I agree.

I reinstalled, but the recovery of the configuration via config.xml in either the root or a copy on /conf (of a fat32 formatted USB stick) doesn't work.
I had to configure wan and lan, connect an restore through the GUI.
back to not being able to even get a list of available packages in the GUI. :/I just saw a noticed the little alarm bell is lit up:
The config file I restored had this for packages:
<installedpackages>
</installedpackages>What could have possibly re-installed?

pfSense-repoc
pfSense-repoc: failed to fetch the repo data
failed to read the repo data.I really used to like pfsense but I really am starting to get discouraged.

Speaking of disappointments, where do you file bugs?
You can't position widgets on the dashboard at the bottom of a column.
Widgets will only "stick" in a column above another widget. -

I should probably start another thread over this...
I installed apcupsd using the cli.
Installed nice and quick.Getting it to work on the other hand ...
What's the magic?I have an APC RM 2200 connected via USB.
I have no issues with USB connection (using the same cable) to linux desktop...
I miss the good old days when things worked :/

What does
pkg-static -d updateshow?Does the config actually contain any installed packages? I've never seen that report success when it couldn't reach the package server.
How did you format the USB drive? I've noticed Windows will try to use some proprietary format if you're not careful.

We use redmine for bug reports: https://redmine.pfsense.org/

No -- the config file looked like this:<installedpackages>
</installedpackages>I used a Linux desktop to format the 4GB USB to fat32
-
Ah, OK. Then yes the reinstall process completes as expected; no packages are installed. That obviously doesn't require pkh repo access so it succeeds.
Hmm, I would certainly expect a Linux created FAT32 stick to work. I use that process all the time. Perhaps the drive is not detected at all for some reason? If you connect it now do you see it reported in the system log?

What does pkg-static -d update show?

@stephenw10
I have just given up.I can get the two packages I want installed from the CLI.
It would be really, really helpful if you didn't have to guess at package names at the CLI.
Is displaying the the actual package name in the GUI that difficult?Try installing pfblockerng from the cli (if you don't already know the package name) to see what I mean ...

You can use 'pkg search' like:
