IPhone Tethering to pfSense
-
I thought this Cellular Wireless guide might help.
However, unable to type in the pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 > Interfaces > PPPs > PPP Configuration > Link Interface(s): /dev/ugen4.2

I'm pretty sure ipheth does not provide any interfaces you could use with PPP. It will appear as a USB Ethernet device when it's working.
You should put that loader line in loader.conf.local to avoid it being overwritten. Create that file since you don't have it yet.
Try running
kldstat
to see that the module is loaded.Connect the phone then check the system log or dmesg to see what pfSense did.
What phone are you connecting? ipgeth appears to have specific support for iphones 1-5:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_5/sys/dev/usb/net/if_ipheth.c#L136Though it also tries to match any Apple device with the correct interface class.

I know we're trying to get an iPhone tethered to pfsense and get it working, but why don't you try this?
GL.iNet GL-AR750 Travel AC Router
https://www.amazon.com/GL-iNet-GL-AR750-300Mbps-pre-Installed-Included/dp/B07712LKJMThere are a few lower-spec'd models, since you don't need the wifi on this travel router box.
That would provide an ethernet interface, and still use the iPhone to grab the internet connection from your cellular provider. It works pretty well, if you've got a good signal.

Thanks @stephenw10,

I'm using an old iPhone 5C, works fine on other OSes with USB hotspot.
I suspect it's the VM or FreeBSD factor.
I think I solved the VM factor by passing the USB through the hypervisor correctly.@akuma1x Thanks, however:
- that would be a failure.
- bit like 'just reboot the computer'. I prefer to find and solve the issue at hand, for future reference.
- I'm trying to make the network as efficient as possible.
- The fewer hardware devices:
4.1 the less points of failure
4.2 the less power costs
4.3 possibly less network bottlenecks
4.3.1 possibly less speed delays - reduces fiscal expense
- cleaner network topology map
- less unnecessary products
-
Ok check:
usbconfig -d ugen4.2 dump_all_desc

Wow, a lot of output. It's beyond my understanding.

The important part appears to be this though:
Configuration index 3 bLength = 0x0009 bDescriptorType = 0x0002 wTotalLength = 0x0075 bNumInterfaces = 0x0003 bConfigurationValue = 0x0004 iConfiguration = 0x0008 <PTP + Apple Mobile Device + Apple USB Ethernet> bmAttributes = 0x00c0 bMaxPower = 0x00fa
It needs to be using index 3. Try:
usbconfig -d ugen4.2 set_config 3

@eiger3970 said in IPhone Tethering to pfSense:
idVendor = 0x05ac
idProduct = 0x12a8That looks like it should be recognised as an iphone5 actually:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_4_4/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs#L1168 -
Oh wow!
pfSense GUI > Interfaces > Interface Assignments > shows Available network ports: ue0I will try to follow a GUI guide now for the final setup.
Yes, the USB device is an iPhone 5C.
'It' needs to be using index 3...is it referring to the iPhone or pfSense?
-
Ok, pfSense reboot needs the setup run each time. I won't be rebooting the router much, so that's ok, until perhaps the kernel module if_ipheth.ko udates the code?
I.e.:
usbconfig -d ugen4.2 set_config 3.So, running the GUI:
pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 > Interfaces > Assignments > Add ue0 (Ma:cA:dd:re:ss:00) > OPT1 ue0 appears > Save > Interfaces > OPT1 > General Configuration > Enable: tick Enable interface > IPv4 Configuration Type: DHCP > Save > Apply Changes > System > Routing > Gateways > OPT1_DHCP should be Default > pfSense shell: netstat -r > Enter > problem as ue0 is in Internet 6 and not in Internet? -
If it helps, here are my network topologies from Ethernet modem to USB modem.
Ethernet modem:
USB modem:
Perhaps the USB modem topology needs the net0 = vmbr1 to be updated to OPT1 = vmbr1?
-
Ok great if config index 3 works you can have that set every time at boot using a usb quirk
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=usb_quirkAdd to /boot/loader.conf.local:
hw.usb.quirk.0="0x05ac 0x12a8 0 0xffff UQ_CFG_INDEX_3"
There real issue with this type of setup is that if the phone switches off or is unplugged or in some other way is no longer present and you reboot pfSense it will fail to boot. It will stop at the interfaces assign screen because it has ue0 in it's config and it isn't there.
Steve
-
Thank you, that works after a reboot.
I updated file /boot/loader.conf, there was not file /boot/loader.conf.local.So, the final thing is configuring pfSense GUI to pass data.
Interfaces > Assignments > OPT1 ue0 (53:f9:38:33:18:4f).
Interfaces > OPT > Enabled interface. IPv4 Configuration Type: DHCP.
System > Routing > Gateways > OPT1_DHCP is Default (IPv4).
Dashboard > Interfaces > OPT1 > green up arrow with IP 0.0.0.0. -
Yeah, you will have to create the .local file but you should put both lines in there. The standard loader.conf file can be overwritten by changes in pfSense.
If it's not pulling an IP address that would seem to be some setting in the iphone. Is tethering actually enabled there?
Does it work as a wireless hotspot?Steve
-
Oh, thank you.
Done.Tethering is enabled. No wifi on the hypervisor.
I'll check the hardware tomorrow.[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/boot: netstat -r Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire 0.0.0.0/8 link#1 U vtnet0 localhost link#4 UH lo0 192.168.1.0/24 link#2 U vtnet1 pfSense link#2 UHS lo0 Internet6: Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire localhost link#4 UH lo0 fe80::%vtnet0/64 link#1 U vtnet0 fe80::4063:7cff:fe link#1 UHS lo0 fe80::%vtnet1/64 link#2 U vtnet1 fe80::a42d:d5ff:fe link#2 UHS lo0 fe80::%lo0/64 link#4 U lo0 fe80::1%lo0 link#4 UHS lo0 fe80::%ue0/64 link#7 U ue0 fe80::5cf9:38ff:fe link#7 UHS lo0

Yeah just to check the iphone is capable of doing this. Maybe connect it to something else, a laptop.
-
Yes, the iPhone is capable of providing tethered internet via USB.
The iPhone tethering worked on other machines previously, however I wanted to triple check before this response.There's something in the pfSense configuration I don't know needs to be done?
According to post 6, point 8, the Default Gateway should be in IPv4, not IPv6 in my case. -
Is it giving you an IP address now? You won't have a gateway on the iphone at all until it responds to dhcp.
-
OPT1 IP address 0.0.0.0.
On the iPhone, I do what I do to make the USB tether work on other machines.

Hit renew/release on Status > Interfaces after doing that on the phone maybe?
I would probably run a packet capture on ue0 and hit renew and see it anything is happening.
Also check the dhcp logs for dhclient entries, you see an error there.
