Upgrade to 2.6.0 causes voip to no longer work and I can't ping the internet
-
SSH is a terminal (for lack of a better word for it... stop typing now haters) connection. Have you ever used something like Putty to connect to your router? So has the rest of the world if you have port 22 open to on the WAN.
My guess is (because Im not sure) that SSHguard is the security program in place to keep that from happening.. If it is going up and down I wonder if your WAN is not stable.. I need to look at my logs and see if that is common between us..
Just looked and I do not have that in my logs. Keep forgetting I can see my router from this laptop while out and about via a VPN I have active..
That said I do not have that in the last 200 lines of my logs. That is interesting.

The last two versions are available on the download servers still:
https://nyifiles.netgate.com/mirror/downloads/sshguard monitors the logs for failed login attempts, of any sort not just SSH, and reacts by blocking source IPs after a number of failures.

@chpalmer So either
- the old version is faulty and the new version fixes the problem causing my misconfiguation to block ping and voip
OR
2. The new version has a bug and my configuration is unusual and is causing the error.Assuming it is 1. what rules can I safely ditch on my Lan?
Which of these services can safely go?

why can't I download a 2.5 version which worked?
2.5.2 is still available. Go to the download page, DO NOT SELECT AN ARCHITECTURE, simply hit download. You end up in a directory that still includes the 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 versions.

@revengineer Excellent thank you

Did you enable pcscd? It's supposed to be disabled by default in 2.6/22.01 because it's rarely needed and had a memory leak in the prior version. If you're not using IPSec you can just stop it.
As for the others, you'll have to tell us which packages you have installed that you're not using.
-
@steveits It don't know what pcscd is if 2.6 had disabled it then I can't see that as the problem it does not appear on my 2.6.0 rig.
I have set up a test rig with 2.6 and have tried turning services and firewall rules off .. nothing seems to fix my problem
I am using captive portal and snort .. I am not using open vpn
I don't know what the other are and if I need them
-
@keithunder Interesting, pcscd is not listed on my 2.6 router after upgrading. Although I had at least stopped it...don't recall if I bothered putting in the patch on that one. If you leave it running check used memory every month or so in case it still has the leak.
Here's the release note section with the bullet point about it being optional.For OpenVPN you probably have a server and client configured. Presumably enabled SNMP and captive portal as well. Bandwidthd is a package to monitor bandwidth usage. The others I think are all defaults. Mine has these, besides a couple packages:
ntpd NTP clock sync
dpinger Gateway Monitoring Daemon
radvd Router Advertisement Daemon
sshd Secure Shell Daemon
syslogd System Logger Daemon
unbound DNS Resolver (instead of Forwarder) -
@steveits Thank everyone for the responses
I disabled all the firewall rules except the pass all one and shut down all the non vital services
I still can't ping 8.8.8.8
Is there anything I can do to work out why this is happening? I can ping 8.8.8.8 from the pfsense box so the problem must be with pfsenseI tried installing 2.6.0 from scratch but I could not log into the web interface ... so I gave up :(
Maybe I will try again :(I can't upgrade to 2.6.0 until I have resolved this
-
Start a ping to 8.8.8.8. Then check Diag > States to make sure the correct states are being opened. You should see a state on the internal interface and a state with NAT on the WAN.

-
@stephenw10 the states relating to 8.8.8.8 all say 0.0
I have no idea what this means though :)
-
@keithunder I don't see where you answered my question about having any limiters configured...? In that other thread limiters seem fine for some but problematic for others.
-
@steveits I don't think I have any limiters configured.. How would I find out if I had?
-
@keithunder Firewall/Traffic Shaper/Limiters, and there would be firewall rules and/or floating rules configured to use them. (in the rule, Advanced Options, In / Out pipe)
-
@steveits Oh yess I don't have any limiters set up and I have disabled all firewall rules except the default ones on the lan the anti lockout one and the allow all are the only ones I have
-
@keithunder You do have captive portal though, and there is at least one comment about disabling that fixing connectivity:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/170084/upgrade-21-05-2-to-22-01-no-vlan-internet-conection/10
-
@steveits I have disabled the captive portal
-

They exist on both interfaces though and have NAT correctly on WAN? Can we see them?

Hello
I am also having this issue.
I can confirm that Captive Portal is the cause, and that using "Allowed IP Addresses" or disabling Captive Portal restores SIP calling.I am not sure if this is caused by VLAN interfaces conbined with Captive Portal because both of my pfsense systems use VLAN for Wireless, and both are affected.
Please let me know if I can provide more information to get this fixed.
Thanks
