#OPNsense

5 posts4 participants0 posts today

My #OpnSense router upgrade tanked today. However I managed to download an image with my phone as a hotspot and began the reinstall process ... Only to find that the installer was happy to use the existing settings off the hard drive! I'd like to thank whichever genius came up with that idea. It saved hours of fiddling around and Just Worked(TM) #BSD

I do that with #pfSense & #OPNsense (depending on the exact network in question) and have it merge multiple sources that get cached.

In total, I do may out the 30 DNS servers and whilst I have #IPv4only, I have everything ready for #DualStack (#IPv4 + #IPv6) once my ISP stops keeing it's thumbs um their ass...

Well I finally got #HomeAssistant interfaced to my #OPNsense router and OMG ! I cannot believe that it provided a total of 119 entities for displaying information about my #FreeBSD router. Not that I'm going need anywhere near that.
At the moment I'm showing the following:

CPU's 0-3 temperatures
Memory used
Uptime since last boot
WAN PPPoE Status
OPNsense Integration Updates Available
WAN IN/OUT graphs
LAN IN/OUT graphs

New #blog post: Isolating our guest wifi network with VLANs and #opnsense

As the result of a wifi hardware change, our guest network ended up comingled with the LAN.

This post sets up a VLAN and configures OPNsense to use dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 subnets for it.

I've got an old #cisco #ASA 5512-x laying around that I figured might come in handy some day.

My brother recently sent me an article to a fellow who got #opnSense running on it, and of course I had to bite.

It was almost too easy! I tracked down an ancient VGA to IDC connector, installed it on the motherboard, and then changed the BIOS around to boot from a thumbdrive. OpnSense installed without issue, and BAM I have a 7-port gigabit router with a #xeon processor, 8GB of DDR3 and a 128GB SSD.

I haven't tested yet, but supposedly these bad boys can push *almost* full line speed.

Not too bad for free! It appears these can be had online for under $50 all day long.

If anyone's interested here is the graph for CPU temperature when my new #OPNsense N100 router was running in the homelab cabinet rack vs when I just put a simple USB desk fan beside it to blow out the heat. A roughly 15C drop so the results will be much better hopefully when I get the proper cooling fans for the cabinet. PS The drop to zero is where I powered it off whilst tidying some other cables near by.
