@dmegyesi:

Hi,

I believe it should work basically on any architecture, the package I prepared is not hard-wired for anything special, it just depends on the tinc package itself. As long as the original package is available for i386, I think it should work. I don't have such a system to test though.

I think it doesn't:

pkg add https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4512442/pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz
Fetching pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz: 100%   18 KiB  18.3kB/s    00:01    
Installing pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28...
pkg: wrong architecture: FreeBSD:10:amd64 instead of FreeBSD:10:i386

Failed to install the following 1 package(s): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4512442/pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz

Any ideas how to install it on a 32bit system?

Great news, indeed, there is a progress.

dmegyesi, thank you for your work and persistence!

As for, "Added to 2.4.0 and 2.3.3 snapshots, after more testing it can be added to 2.3.2. Thanks!"

I assume, it will be some new release, like "2.3.2-RELEASE-p2" with a tinc included, right?

I'm runnig my PFsense on an old Watchguard x750.

Now I have successfully installed tinc, but how can I get a webinterface for tinc?

:(

now upload the pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28 via Diagnostics -> Command Prompt

then run pkg add /tmp/pfSense-pkg-tinc-1.0.28.txz

restart the box & you should see the menu

Hi dmegyesi,

I gave it a quick little check on 1 pfSense test machine (without actually connecting anywhere) as i'm not actively using tinc. So i have not fully tested its workings, but my guess is you have already done that.

From what i see it looks valid except you should indeed drop 'tincd' binary from the pfSense package 'makefile' the package dependency will indeed take care of that.

For testing i used "pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/release_3/All/tinc-1.0.26_1.txz" to add that package from the FreeBSD repository.. I suppose i could have used http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/tinc-1.0.28.txz as well.. But anyway package looks like i remember it from 2.2 and tincd daemon seems to be properly started with some basic configurations.

If you can send pullrequest on github that would be great :) (dont forget to sign the 2 pfSense contributer licence agreements)

i tried to install the tinc-1.0.28.txz but i got this error (alos with tinc-1.0.29.txz)

pkg: Missing dependency 'openssl'

strange but openssl is very much a part of pfsense

Then i installed tinc-1.0.26_1.txz & it worked.

Any ideas why?

Probably because your not 'supposed' to install stuff from the freebsd repositories.. pfSense has its own repository with all binaries of ports that are made available for use on pfSense. I dont think tinc is currently part of that list though.

tinc is available on 2.3.3 and 2.4. No need to do any such hacks like installing from non-pfSense repos.

PiBa

Oh it is :o ,i thought is was 'rejected' because of undefined issues. I was wrong and should have re-checked before writing assuming that to still be valid because people where still trying to install manually. Thanks for the correction :D.

Everything got sorted out eventually - https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/149

any chance of this being part of 2.3.2?
