2.4.5 Snapshots are Live

free4

Hi,

Would it be possible to include the fix for the "You are connected" issue on captive portal? (Redmine #8616 )
This is a very impacting bug, it would be desirable that it get fixed before 2.5

the patch fixing this issue can be found here : https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/RELENG_2_4_4...Augustin-FL:fix-reconfig-for-2-4-4.diff
(This issue has been fixed on master via PR 2042, but this PR is not compatible with 2.4.X ...merge conflict)

@dennis_s @jimp Would it be possible to apply this patch on 2.4.5?

"You are connected"

I second this demand.
I'm using this patch - mentioned above, for months now and following the pfSense 2.4.5 dev path, on 2.4.5.a.20200126.1353 right now.
This patch is in "auto apply mode "and didn't fail to apply.

I'm using the portal for a hotel .... so I guess I can mention that it's tested ;)

It's too late to add something like that to 2.4.5. You can continue to patch it manually if it affects your environment.

I upgraded my sg-3100 from 2.4.4-p3 to 2.4.5, and received the following error. This is a very basic install, no weird rules or packages running:

Notices
Filter Reload
There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:18: cannot define table bogonsv6: too many elements. - The line in question reads [18]: table <bogonsv6> persist file "/etc/bogonsv6"

If this is something that's already been reported sorry - I didn't see anything on it.

That would not be from the upgrade. Nothing there changed.

System > Advanced, Firewall/NAT tab, check the value of Firewall Maximum Table Entries. It should be set quite high, a couple hundred thousand at least. If that doesn't help, start a new thread.

behemyth

This is already set at 400k, my guess is it needs to be above 650k. I'll adjust it and try the upgrade again.

behemyth

I got the same error with 650k firewall table entries, I'll go ahead and open a redmine ticket.

No need for a Redmine issue. That is 100% a config problem, not a bug. Start a new thread to discuss what you have going on that could cause it.

jimp

Actually I might be wrong. This might have popped up on 2.4.5: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9356

But I do not see that on my 2.4.5 system(s).

Running pfSense on an intel based system using 2 GB - like your SG-3100.
Using default settings :

which is / should be fine because I'm loading, as you, the same bogons and bogonsv6 files ( 70 lines / 1136 Bytes and 108611 Lines / 1767 KB ).

@behemyth : save your config - and reboot, activate default settings = console menu option 4.
=> The error should be gone.
Afterwards, import your saved settings. If the error pops up now, you will know where to look.

His error is not the usual error for that condition. I can't load bogonsv6 on amd64 or arm with the same error. Read the redmine issue I linked above (#9356) and https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10254 which is what's happening on 2.4.5.

Are the multiple times a day updates going to stay normal, or are you guys really pushing that many fixes to the RC still? I know I saw that you guys had an internal bug fix board somewhere, I'm just assuming all the updates are because of fixes from there.

The snapshot builds are now on a timer, and not triggered by changes. So even though a new one shows up every ~3 hrs that doesn't necessarily mean it contains anything new.

Is it best then to just keep an eye on the commit history: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commits/RELENG_2_4_5

Then, when we see something that has been commited, it's safe to assume any timestamped generated update AFTER the commit contains the changes?

jimp

Essentially, yes, though it would also include changes in the freebsd-ports and freebsd-src repositories.

@jimp Yep Yep, naturally. Thank you Jim.

Just following up, been running 2.4.5 for the past few days. Nothing to report........

Intel E3-1275v5, Supermicro C236 based MB, Dual WAN, OpenVPN client to Mullvad, some port forwards, 3 VLAN's, few bits here and there... all working as expected.

I upgraded a relatively new (~2 weeks since clean install from iso) 2.4.4 p3 installation to 2.4.5.r.20200317.1200 today via System --> Upgrade within WebGUI, mainly to benefit from the many security patches in 2.4.5.

I have just the Avahi & iperf packages installed, nothing fancy. Hardware is PCEngines APU2E4.

The upgrade went smoothly and rebooted with no problems. It has been only 30 minutes or so but everything appears to be working normally. Will update this comment if any problems appear.

Jimp,

I did the upgrade via shell command 13

I noticed, quick reading during startup scroll,

package pecl-radius reinstall i think
package net-socket same i think

routing invallid argument

After reboot and back in the gui pfSense is reporting 245 now just as it should be (was reporting 244 before, some halfway status)

There is no error message on the dashboard.

@Gertjan

Does this fix this issue on recent updates from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5?
Updated (2) XG-7100 appliances two weeks ago,and have this problem with Captive Portal. Have never tried the Package patch addon but may give this a try?

Thank You
