webGUI log in extremely slow
-
What are you trying to post a link or an image? Users get whitelisted for such attachments if the system thinks it might be spam after enough rep points.. 3 or 5... one of the admins could look up the specific points needed. As just mod do not have access to the backend to see.
Help out, post some good stuff and people will give you a thumbs up and you will auto get whitelisted...
As to your bug about removal of dns? yeah it will go down to just single listing you just remove the entry "make it blank" And make sure your system is not set to allow pulling dns from dhcp.
Pfsense has zero use of any dns settings other than pointing to itself since out of the box as mentioned it resolves. Only if you are in some need of wanting to forward would you ever need to put dns servers in.. To be honest unless your isp is blocking dns, or your on a high latency sort of connection - think sat where its best to use the isp dns.. The typical user should just resolve..
Sure there have been posts and even a guide on how to use tls in forwarding - NOT A FAN is what I will say about that ;) Its nice to have it as a feature sure - but its use case is limited if you ask me.. Some ISP injecting shit into your dns queries.. Choice in such a case would be change ISPs.. But yeah that is not always an option, but if users don't bitch with their dollars ISP not going to change their ways..
Glad you got your slowness worked out..

He probably doesn't know that this works :
First : hit the
Then, while your typing your post : hit Ctrl-V - also know as "paste".
It's advisable to shrink wrap your image after a print screen, or, if you use Windows, use the build-in "Capture Tool".
These image are stored on the pfSense / Netgate's web server (means : no upload problems), so the never get lost (or replaced by other images, or make forum browser a crawl when the image host server goes off line.
No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
Edit : and where are the logs ?? -

I would agree with you - unless they change forum software ;) And the images don't come over correctly... Still have hope that they will at some point fix that. From my understanding their are still there just not displaying..
-
I didn't try to attach any images, just several lines of text, quotes and code.
Anyway - my problem was down to DNS and is now solved.
Thank you! -
Kind of side track - but software that I have been using for years and just love... Best few bucks ever spent on software ;) I use it pretty much every single day.

They still update it and it has all kinds of bells and whistles for taking screenshots.. It well worth the $20 that is for damn sure.
-
I had this problem too. I checked the update setting, the Dashboard auto-update Check was Disable, but I login webGUI is still slow.
-
I just logged in to ask this, but why does the DNS server have any bearing on the speed of the WebGUI? Why is the GUI relying on something (DNS) that has absolutely nothing to do with configuring the system?

configuring the system
The system isn't some desktop PC, but a firewall.
Not everybody has a huge pipe upstream, the other side or Internet. Some status info comes from the Internet. -
Then it just seems like bad design. It should show the elements that don’t require this info “from the internet” and show a placeholder that says something to the effect of “this info will be available shortly”.
This is like your web browser completely locking up because one site you’re browsing has a css sheet hosted on an overloaded server.

You did see that the issue in this thread was resolved ?

Hello.
I think this issue is https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8987
As workaround, you can apply the steps as indicated on https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8987- Go to SERVICES - DNS RESOLVER - GENERAL SETTINGS
- Go to section HOST OVERRIDES. Clic ADD.
- Type these values:
host: ews
domain: netgate.com
ip: 127.0.0.1 - Clic SAVE.
- Clic APPLY SETTINGS.
- Clic top left corner (Pfsense logo) and dashboard loads very fast (no slow for 60 seconds)
I tried this workaround using a Pfsense server without Internet connection.
