    Great job, and you also learned port forwarding, ACL ordering, alias creation and much more. I love this forum you can learn so
    much. Now you just need a OpenVPN configured with a NAS server for private cloud use

    Yup that's a fun* one!
    More than 4 vmx NICs in esxi changes the PCI device ordering. Crazy.

    I tested my IPv6 access :

    I introduced a firewall rule on my HENET interface :

    32f30acb-b7d8-476a-bfd3-d69a3821dc1a-image.png

    I have a DNS record that point's to my WAN IPv4, not my WAN IPv6, so I had to use my IPv6 WAN IP to connect to the GUI.
    I had a cert warning from my browser, of course.

    But the access worked well :

    "Well" means for me : knowing that my IPv6 is using a tunnel to tunnel.ne.net (Huricane IPv6 ISP) the speed was somewhat limited, about 10 Mbytes /sec.
    I could browse the entire pfSense GUI very well, no hick-ups ....

    edit : I'll leave the IPv6 access open for a while.
    PM me, and I can even send you an 'access' so you can test drive yourself.
    That is, if you promise not to change something, as this is a "live' environment ;)

    Removing the coax caused pfsense to lose connection, but maintain the DCHP address it had. I was logged in to the gui and could still use it as long as I stayed away from the dashboard. The dashboard did load very slowly but did load after a few minutes.

    Logging out and then logging back in, where the default starting point is the gui, did not ever load and eventually returned this:

    I read this is due to widgets, ie the version checking for updates and needing DNS but not having it and eventually timing out. The 8987 bug shows resolved, but did say that the issue is not resolvable at the time.

    Once I reconnected the coax, everything became stable again and no reboots on the modem or pfsense were needed. That is not what happened to me yesterday, I had to reboot both the modem and pfsense. Is this something I need to live with, not being able to check the status of my WAN via pfSense when my isp goes down?

    Is there a command line equivalent of this gateway status shown in the dashboard?

    Are the IP addresses you are using both public IPs?

    What address are you testing from? Something in the same subnet?

    Can you connect out from the console from the new address? Ping, say, both 8.8.8.8 and google.com?

    @NogBadTheBad

    Hi,

    Sorry i should have mentioned, yeah my PC is on the 10.0.4.X network (just as a test PC) , the aim here was to loose connectivity to the GUI from my PC, then i have another one on the 10.0.7.X range that "should" get access to the GUI.

    After thinking about this last night I think I have sussed it out, we are going through a Proxy and this is the IP Address that accesses the Management GUI, hopefully I should be able to add some rules in our other proxy to avoid this Firewall bypassing it.

    Ill let you know if i have any more issues or if i need more help with this.

    Thanks for your help!
