2.4.5 error

techpro2004

I recently updated to 2.4.5 and my internet keeps going down. I noticed the following messages in my dhcp logs:

Apr 12 13:56:53 dhclient /var/db/dhclient.leases.em3 line 4: expecting lease declaration.
Apr 12 13:56:53 dhclient next-server
Apr 12 13:56:53 dhclient ^
Apr 12 13:56:53 dhclient /var/db/dhclient.leases.em3 line 5: expecting semicolon.

Apr 12 13:56:53 dhclient Can't attach interface {} to bpf device /dev/bpf0: Device not configured

when it happens the only solution is to reboot my modem (not pfsense). I have an arris sb8200 modem. Thanks

I also noticed the following in the system log

99013 /rc.newwanip: The command '/sbin/route delete -host ' returned exit code '64', the output was 'route: destination parameter required route: usage: route [-46dnqtv] command [[modifiers] args]'

and

99013 	/rc.newwanip: The command '/usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was '[1586714662] unbound[94302:0] error: bind: address already in use [1586714662] unbound[94302:0] fatal error: could not open ports'

thanks

@techpro2004 said in 2.4.5 error:

99013 /rc.newwanip: The command '/usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was '[1586714662] unbound[94302:0] error: bind: address already in use [1586714662] unbound[94302:0] fatal error: could not open ports'

This means that unbound was instructed to stop - but it didn't.
Stop it in the GUI using :

Use SSH/console access, option 8, and use

[2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.atwork.net]/etc/inc: ps ax | grep 'unbound'
12495  -  S        0:52.53 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd_pfb -f /var/unbound/pfb_dnsbl_lighty.conf
73057  -  Ss       0:28.38 /usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf
 7627  0  S+       0:00.00 grep unbound

Process "73057" , unbound, shouldn't be there any-more, or after re running "ps ax | grep 'unbound'" several times, be gone.
If it's still there after 30 seconds or so, kill it manually.
Like

kill 73057

if there are multiple lines with a "/usr/local/sbin/unbound ..." process, : go kill them all.

When done, start unbound in the GUI.

Re check all is well (logs !!) and use "ps ax | grep 'unbound'" again to check that there is just one line with :

53157  -  Ss       0:28.38 /usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf

I did as you said. All unbound processes stopped with the web gui button. i did not need to run kill [pid]. I am just wondering, how does all of this fix the dhclient log errors from my first post? thanks.

@techpro2004 said in 2.4.5 error:

  /var/db/dhclient.leases.em3

What's in these files ?
/var/db/dhclient.leases.em0
/var/db/dhclient.leases.em1
/var/db/dhclient.leases.em2
/var/db/dhclient.leases.em3

Some of them are probably empty files, one of them, em3 ? is your WAN interface which is using DHCP client to obtain an IP from the upstream router ?

If the file is some how corrupt, stop the DCP client (disconnect WAN), rename the var/db/dhclient.leases.em3 file into, for example, var/db/dhclient.leases/em3.old and re connect everything.

techpro2004

I have attached the file.[0_1586868468438_dhclient.leases.em3](Uploading 100%)

techpro2004

it did not take one more try

file removed by poster

Gertjan

File looks ok.
No semicolon missing - everything is there.
What ever the reason was you posted 2 days ago (first post) : that issue doesn't exist any more.

techpro2004

Sounds good. Thanks

I also switched from google dns to cloudflare dns. I think google was getting overloaded recently and that was causing my outages. are there any known issues with ether google dns or cloudflare dns. Does cloudflare hijack my results like my isp's dns supposedly does.

I also installed pfblocker-ng

Internet went down again. This time, I received the following error in the dhcp logs when trying a wan ip release/renew
