#PfSense

There mus be another bug. It needs restarting the ospf6 service on pfsense2 in the ha setup to make it work.

#ospf #ipv6 #gif #tunnel #pfsense 2.8.0

2025-06-21

This is really a hard one. Tested workaround, all good now:

#ospf #ipv6 #gif #tunnel #pfsense 2.8.0

Is there a known #ospf #ipv6 #gif #tunnel problem in #pfsense 2.8.0?

Sin the update from 2.7.2 i have have the problem that my tunnel endpoint on the remote side, where the /48 is, get the packages for the /64 reachable through the tunnel on the WAN side (ha setup for IPv4, IPV2, each ahs a IP, pfs1 send, package is returned to pfs2), but packages are not sent into the tunnel. Only every 10th or 20th ping. Worked till the update since a longer time.

huh, I just wanted to order another apu2, but #pcengines is going out of business 🙁
and the installer of #pfSense requires internet access.
the world is flipping over.
not sure if I should switch to #opnsense
and hardware like maybe boingfire?

@harald

Android doesn't support DHCPv6 you have to use SLAAC.

Linux systems unable to reach out to internet behind pfsense while Windows work fine.

I am trying to set up my #homelab for #forensics and I have encountered a very weird issue. I am running an internal pfsense #firewall for my environment. On this firewall there are 3 interfaces: WAN and two Isolated Labs.

On the "WAN" interface, both #linux and windows systems are able to access the internet without any problems.

But on the other two lans - named Infrastructure and Lab - the Linux systems are not able to connect to the internet after booting, while the systems are able to communicate with each other. In order to get them working I need to go the respective interface and make any change there and save the page, practically refreshing the settings on the interface. After this all currently online linux systems on that interface are working as expected and connectivity is restored. As you can imagine this is a huge pain, especially when I am testing things and I need to turn on various systems at different times. If i put the systems on the WAN interface they face no issue at all, so what could be the solution here for fixing connectivity for linux systems on the other interfaces?

edit: it issue is both on pfsense 2.7.2 and 2.8.0

@mkj reasonable commercial support, plenty of community support and great videos make it easy to learn, support and install for others. A few tools exist to assist in to move.

I specially like the frequent, transparent updates and 100% open source development for maximum transparency.

Wrote a quick n dirty program to calculate downtimes of my internet connection from pfSense "ppp" logs.

Those are "interface down" events, aka the complete connection got lost.
(ISP here has *known* problems in this area since months now)

Weil es immer ein gemurkse ist:

Hier eine funktionierende Anleitung für #PfSense hinter #FritzBox mit wechselnden #IPV6 Adressen, aber mit mehreren #Prefixe .

Ich hatte lange Zeit statische IPV4 und IPV6 Adressen, da war die #Konfiguration anders.

Die #PfSense hat eine neue Version 2.8.

Wisst ihr Bescheid.

Mon parefeu #pfsense vient de prendre sa mise à jour en 2.8.0 . Je connais assez mal les systèmes #BSD (pfsense tourne avec #freeBSD en l’occurrence) mais je suis assez impressionné par la facilité avec laquelle cette opération s'est déroulée.

What I wanted to do:
Move this mastodon instance from its current datacenter location to my homelab.

What I did:
Update all my #proxmox nodes to the latest release, remove #haproxy and #acme packages from #pfsense in favour of a dedicated machine handling it.

That machine, however, still needs an ansible role and playbook to be written, in order to set it up 🙈

Let's gooooo! 😂

Ich brauche kein #Modem, das passt exakt auf mein aktuell schon vorhandenes Nutzungsszenario.

Das Glasfasermodem wird von der #pfSense angesteuert.

I'm stunned that #Freebsd and the typical firewall/routers #OPNsense and #pfsense are so popular and don't support #IPv6 privacy methods. #RFC7217 and #RFC8981

Надо составить список it-дел на лето, чтобы в сентябре понять, что успел, что нет. Порядок рандомный:

- Потрогать что-нибудь embeded уровнем повыше ардуино, сделать реально РАБОТАЮЩУЮ И ПОЛЕЗНУЮ штуку (Bluetooth receiver для колонки)

- Перестроить домашнюю инфру, а именно #nixos система на мейн пк, мониторинги, общие папки, впн доступ, семейная хранилка паролей

- Продолжить разбираться с #go, поделать #spectrumшиза

- Заработать денег, желательно мозгами, желательно чтобы хватило на ноут

- Потрогать #i2p и #yggdrassil, чтобы уже наконец-то скинуть @kirill треки (я помню!)

- Доделать тг бота для чата своего тгк

- Научить маму пользоваться нейронками для работы

- Зарайсить телефон (опционально)

- Сделать ещё 1 WiFi точку в квартире, ибо заебал слабый сигнал

- Потрогать #pfsense и всякое такое, чтобы сечь рекламу и прочую нечисть на роутере (возможно придётся купить роутер)

- Разобрать старые файлы, пережать плохо пожатые видосы (тут надо зашарить за #h264)

Символы кончились

@qlp @Natanox @wyatt yeah, heard of those from folks who did very old #pfSense-based #DIY Routers back when it still supported #ix86 machines and old used thinkpads were still cheap af.

@chris forum.netgate.com/topic/187943 mentions atxfiles.netgate.com/mirror/do but that seems to only have 2.6.0, 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.7.2. (I suppose you could get 2.7.2 and upgrade to 2.8.0.) I also found mirror.transip.net/pfsense/dow which has a handful of different 2.1.x through 2.6.x versions. Neither provides 2.8.0 directly though.

Netgate put downloads behind their shop fairly recently, it seems. Bugged me enough that I'm looking at options.

Anyone got a download link for the current pfsense 2.8.0 iso handy?

The official site shows me a shop when I want to download. Huh.
