Latest PFsense for hyper-V?

I do have a seperate Dual Gigabit that I was going to add. It is however a rosewill network card if that helps at all.

Hi guys and Tisler,

I was wondering how / where you download the 2.2 Alpha build (the one that Tisler mentioned previously)
I have Intel NIC's and wanted to try it out on my 2012 R2 Hyper-V.

Also does anyone know if Squid module will work with 2.2 currently?

Thanks guys,

Bruce

I have squirt and snort and lightsquirt installed.
The custom options in squirt do not work though. At least its not showing my custom html page.
Lightsquirt is not working at all. No reports.

Is anyone else having a problem where the network interfaces don't come up automatically after a boot? I am having such an issue – the WAN side (static IP to my internet provider) is working great -- but the LAN side (DHCP) doesn't come back automatically after a reboot. I have to either ssh in or connect via web, and initiate an

ifconfig de1 down
ifconfig de1 up

To make it work. What's up with this?

If you recycle your LAN adapter is pfSense then fully working/can your browse the Internet)?
Without knowing more details about your installation its hard to give and advice…

Turning the interfaces on and off didn't work for me. I had to continue to use legacy drivers

Almost 6 day uptime, no issues whatsoever besides having to use legacy.

Although this is my personal instance of pfsense and is not used for much other than port forwarding and such, I may just leave it even after 2.2 is offically released. This personal instance does nothing other than serve as a firewall, no dhcp/dns as that is done by the DC.

I am able to achieve full speeds of my biz cable connection with legacy nic (50Mb down X 5Mb upload)

It's a very simple setup… The WAN side is a static IP interface with my ISP -- this works without requring reboot. But the LAN side runs DHCP and hands out addresses to my LAN hosts. After reboot, no LAN hosts can get an IP. I can log into the WAN interface from the internet, then I do the ifconfig up-down dance and kablam, everything works.

Perhaps like some issue with interfaces that have DHCP running?

Once it's up and running its fine though. Have had 100+ days of uptime with zero issue.

Thanks for the link rustydustry1717, will have a play on the weekend with 2.2 and see how it goes with the non-legacy adapters.

So 2.1.5 is released?

Wonder about 2.2 more than anything, as is everyone I think.

I, for one, am hoping to get 2.2 to BETA soon. Honestly, the only major things that are currently broken are captive portal and AES-GCM IPsec (which is new).

2.2 is the strategy for Hyper-V support.

Not to drag up on a old topic but:
we got PFsense 100% working on Xen and Hyper-v
with all hyper-v drivers, fully working Carp, multi-subnetting, etc.

We notified Jim this week and awaiting his reply on arrangements to publish this as a PFSense build.

Regards,
Marco

Here's what you didn't do.

You didn't send any code.
You didn't offer to send any code.

You just said you had it working, and want to publish it.

Only ESF distributes pfSense.

Just wanted to post an update. On sunday I rebuilt my firewall again with the latest snapshot as of sunday. Didn't use legacy again to start and this time it worked perfectly.

Also, I'm noticing a huge decrease in CPU load over the legacy drivers, as well as full speed of my connection (biz cable 50x5)

Hi
I have a 2.2 (latest) installation on Hyper-V 2012 R2 and all works fine, but I still see the synthetic network adaptors as Degraded (integration services upgrade required).
I thought Integration Services were included in FreeBSD 10, do I need to install them separately or have I done something wrong?

Many thanks

Bill

You shouldn't require to use legacy drivers which was my problem. After switching from legacy I saw huge CPU usage drop increased performance

Guest

This matches my (brief) experience.

rustydusty1717

Which part does?

Guest

not using the "Legacy" drivers.
