usdmatt there is no need for a disclaimer
I do appreciate all the help I can get on this.
I am now thinking on getting a VDSL modem like the Draytek Vigor 130 and tun a short depth R200 as pfSense to be use a router...
In the meantime, I found a more interesting fact.
I setup a FreeBSD VM in virtualbox as rebooting the server is taking far too long for this test.
I have the following:
/etc/rc.conf
Code:
ifconfig_em0="inet 87.7x.xxx.60 netmask 255.255.255.248"
defaultrouter="87.7x.xxx.57"
/etc/resolve.conf
Ping 8.8.8.8
Code:
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
^C
--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
85 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
Ping google.com
Code:
PING google.com (216.58.204.78): 56 data bytes
^C
--- google.com ping statistics ---
27 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
I found it interesting that it somehow actually go out resolve the google.com IP address to 216.58.204.78. I
DO NOT get
ping: cannot resolve google com hostname lookup failure
Also, I can resolve the google IP address if i set the defaultrouter to any of the following: 87.7x.xxx.57, 87.7x.xxx.59,
I cannot resolve google.com when the defaultrouter is set to 87.7x.xxx.58, 87.7x.xxx.61, 87.7x.xxx.62
Another interesting bit is this:
When I type any of the following IP addresses in my browser, I land on my router management interface:
I cannot resolve google.com when using vlan:
Code:
vlans_em0="100"
ifconfig_em0_101="inet 87.7x.xxx.60 netmask 255.255.255.248"
defaultrouter="87.7x.xxx.57"
My router log file show:
Code:
28.02.2019 11:29:14 LAN client computer (08:00:27:4a:fa:a1) connected with IP address 87.7x.xxx.60
I am not educated enough in networking to make much sense of what I just find.. I hope someone with more experience will see something that make sense in it all
Thank you
