      @scottjh1 said in Console Locked, No internet access on post restart.:

      The wan will show a Fios 100.14.xx.xx DHCP applied address.

      That's a CGN IP address. Is that what it gets when it's working?

      If it has a valid public IP it should route traffic. If it's not then it could be a missing default route. Missing NAT perhaps.

      But first test it's not a DNS issue. Hard to see why it would be but it certainly could be.

        @stephenw10 Yes, that is the IP it gets when working. Fios provises DHCL addresses with a two hour lease. However if the device remains on line it will get the same IP address until is is off line fro a period of time. Later today I will restart and review the firewall log to make sure I did not miss any entries.

          Ok. Well we need to determine exactly what is failing when it boots with the console locked. It has to be something pretty basic like a missing default route or Unbound not running.

              @scottjh1 I sent a copy of the logs in a previous post. The WAN IP is not included. There is nothing obvious in the logs showing whan is going on. I will likey try a to restore an eariler vesion of the config file (not current) in a effort to define if it is the install or config file.

                For some clarification, he said 100.14 that is a Verizon business IP.. cgn IP is 100.64-127

                  @johnpoz Yes the IP is 100.14.211.xx, it is carrier grade NAT on FIOS. They changed it a number of years ago. I am located in the northeast near Philly.

                    Ha, well spotted. Failure on my part!

                    But anyway you need to boot to the failed condition then run tests to see what is actually broken. It's hard to imagine what a locked console would break there.

                      The condition is corrected, turns out several config files were apparently corrupted. Although a couple of rules were not contained in the working config file they are easy to add back. Thank you for your help! Jim

                        Strage thing happened, after all was working the same issue appeared. I again restored the same backup as I did eariler. When the restore started a popup appeared noting it was deleting a pfblocker cron job. Post boot no more issue..... very strange.

                          Here is the general log error: Oct 19 19:42:13 php-fpm 399 /pfblockerng/pfblockerng_update.php: Configuration Change: administrator (Local Database): Removed cron job for pfblockerng.php cron
                          Currently using pfblocket NG-devel 3.2.0_19. Maybe I should the standard version 3.2.0_8. At least the answer came, not sure of why, maybe the job was corrupt.

                            Hmm, the current dev version should be fine. I'm running that here without issue.
