Hi, Last weekend I started with pfsense and during that I immediately encountered an issue that I would like to report here (assuming this is the right place to do so).
What happened was that after installing the WAN port got an IPv4 address over DHCP but kept on spawning DHCPv6 requests at a rate that totally swamped my network. I'm not sure if it should be sending DHCPv6 requests at all after getting a v4 address (there is no DHCPv6 server in my network), but in any case the rate of the requests was way too fast. I managed to get rid of it by doing something like pfctl -d (forgot the exact incantation, someone on irc suggested this); then after a pfctl -e the issue was gone (maybe it would also be gone after a reboot, didn't try that). This may be something someone wants to look into as it is a really bad initial experience. Best regards, Frans. PS: is it possible to get access of the latest version of the book without being a gold member? I'm a home user; not looking for a freebee but $ 99/yr is a bit too steep for me especially now when I am still investigating whether this is the right tool for me. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
