[luckman212]

ok awesome!  so for now just scp the files to my router and install manually right?

[zevlag]

That's right, if you have questions or need help, you can google talk/chat with me at josh@zevlag.com

[luckman212]

zev-  I have emailed you a few times over the past few days, but I haven't heard back.  Are you getting my emails? Still having trouble getting the package to install on my 2.3.2_1 system.

[luckman212]

Anyone heard from Josh (zevlag)?  Been trying to reach him for a couple of weeks now, no reply.  Hope he's ok.  Still need help w/ this package that I paid for.

[zevlag]

Luckman, sorry, I didn't mean to go Missing-In-Action,

I'm not ignoring you, I've been on vacation at DisneyWorld in Florida for two weeks, running around with my 4 little kids.  I will get to this as soon as I can.

[luckman212]

Ah ok- sounds like fun!!  8)  No worries glad you haven't disappeared.  Take your time and just get back to me when you can.

[Paul.C]

Hi  Josh,

Excellent - this package is just what I was looking for.

Are you planning to post it on github soon, or should I cross your palm with silver to get 'early access'?

• Paul

p.s. Hope you had fun at DisneyWorld, we're regular visitors to Disneyland :)

I've reached out to all you with a minor update, fixing some bugs.

I have an updated zerotier package and pfSense-zerotier package coming in a few weeks as FreeBSD just updated their zerotier package to the newest version.  It should be a clean simple process.

[luckman212]

Thx zev – I've got a couple minor bugs to ask about ... best to post them publicly here or privately via email?

[zevlag]

Post them on GitHub for me would you?

[luckman212]

ok cool, will do

Just noting here in case anyone missed it that ZeroTier 1.1.17 / 1.2.0 beta is out and has some great new features, notably big performance improvements and SDN-like rulesets. So if there is any development going on with the pfSense/FreeBSD package, halting and retargeting this new release seems wise. The 1.1.14 (previous stable) build never materialized on FreeBSD anyway, and the old one that ships with this package (1.1.4) core dumped on me a handful of times so I uninstalled it.

Here's the blogpost describing 1.2.0:

Sadly, as of now, it seems there's a problem with the FreeBSD build:

is this still actively developed? i'd like to chime in with $30 (will send via paypal)

[Arffeh]

Will gladly pitch another $20 if it can be continued.

[pikkaachu]

I'll throw another $100 into the fray to get this updated and pushed into the package repo.

Edit:

Would keen to see all of the controller functionality working as well.

[cjw]

It seems this project was dropped by the previous person. Would anyone else be willing to pick up the project and work to update it to final full release package to the pfsense community?

I'll offer another $100 to the new bounty for this.

[vinistois]

Im in for $250 if anyone wants to pick this up.

So I have been playing around with this. I have one primary issue which has to be solved before I can update/build the functionality of the client and controller.

Right now I have started from the ground up building a package. I can get the service started and track it in the services menu. Once started via the gui I can use the cli to join a network and then assign the interface.

The issue is then when the system reboots the daemon doesn't appear to start before the configuration is loaded and that leads to an interface mismatch that requires Cli interaction to bring the system up again.

I'm open to any ideas you all have to get the service started before the config loads.

[Chancem]

Okay,

I have it able to reboot and keep the interfaces. I don't know if it's the most elegant solution but it works. Also started working on the client output see attached.


[Chancem]

Still making progress on the controller. Just wondering if anyone has interest in the package?
If you see anything on the interfaces you want to change let me know.

Thanks,
ChanceM
