IGMP Proxy doesn't start

[DatafoxChris]

pfSense in use:
23.05.1-RELEASE

The error:
There must be at least 1 Vif as upstream.

The config:
Upstream: LAN_IPTV (Caiway VLAN 101 - Uses DHCP and an ip-address is received on this interface, so it should be setup OK)
Downstream: LAN (A physical nic)

Has anyone encountered this problem?

That used to be an issue in older versions but I haven't seen it in 23.05.1.

It can be tricky to troubleshoot igmpproxy. The only really good way to get info from it is to stop the service in the gui and then run it at the command line in verbose mode:
igmpproxy -vd /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf

When i execute your command from root in a shell on pfSense:

adding VIF, Ix 0 Fl 0x0 IP 0xe201a8c0 vmx2, Threshold: 1, Ratelimit: 0
There must be at least 1 Vif as upstream.

that's it...

Later today i will be able to reboot the machine.
Perhaps the newly added vlan has not been setup correctly from boot-time...

[stephenw10]

You might try even more verbose: igmpproxy -vvd /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf

Which interface is vmx2?

Does the actual conf in /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf look correct?

[DatafoxChris]

@stephenw10 said in IGMP Proxy doesn't start:

igmpproxy -vvd /var/etc/igmpproxy.conf

Beeing more verbose showed that igmpproxy doesn't see the new vlan when it starts up: vmx3.101

I hope it can be solved by rebooting the router, but there has not been a good moment yet.

vmx2 is the LAN, which is the downstream for the proxy.

[DatafoxChris]

Confirmed: After a reboot the igmpproxy is able to find vmx3.101 and can start correctly.

[DatafoxChris]

So i think pfSense should investigate this...

Is there a guide on how to setup igmp proxy for Caiway multicast TV ?

[stephenw10]

That does seem unexpected. I can't immediately see why a reboot would make any difference there. The only time that would normally be required is if something set a loader value. There are some vmx loader values that might apply but you'd have to manually set them.
If you can repeat this it's probably worth opening a bug report for.

Am i correct in concluding that pfSense Plus is no longer free for HomeLabs ?

[stephenw10]

At this time it's not available, yes.

[DatafoxChris]

So first Netgate asks every enthousiastic home user to feel free to register and buy the plus license for 0 euro, and now this has been disabled ?

My problem: the Packages List doesn't show anything... i understand this is because i have added a NIC to my router ?

Can i re-activate my license ?

Send me your order number or old NDI in chat and I'll check.
