router

Hi there, I am stuck with a problem I cannot resolve myself, unfortunately. I have a RPI3 device with FreeBSD on it, which I want to act as a router with firewall. Mu initial intent to use it as a sort of MITM router that I can control and adapt firewall needs for the purposes of testing...

Hello. Trying to play with IPFW ruleset with a Freebsd box that acts as a router. A quite steep learning curve for sure, but managed to get it working after countless hours reading forums/examples. Network is segmented into vlans. DMZ is one of them where all public services reside. Trying to...

Our FreeBSD router was getting taxed at 15Gbps -- started to drop packets, customer complaints, etc. I upgrade to 13.1, turned on hyperthreading, and upped the hw.cxgbe queues to 16 from 8 and the box is working fine. I'm not sure if this is solely due to the hyperthreading of if the reworked...

I recently installed and did the initial set ups for a FreeBSD virtual machine. My aim is to utilise it as a router/bridge in a network topology structured as follows: from a PC comes a request for a webpage, that is captured by the FreeBSD router (in order to use DummyNet as a test tool on it)...

Hi! I was not sure if I should put this to networking or off topic. I am looking for a relative cheap ITX motherboard and computer case which can handle 2x8 PCI-E cards with bifurcation without cutting metal or other kind of tinkering. I'd like to have something small for my home network, but I...

I have been experiencing intermittent wifi issues for the past 1-2 years. I had aways thought it was my internet service provider - although interestingly, turning wifi off and on again on my laptop, usually solved the issue (temporarily). Then last week I tried something new: I disconnected the...

Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 and my /etc/rc.conf has my network set up like this: ifconfig_igb1="inet 10.0.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="10.0.0.1" Lately when I reboot the machine the default route is not set and I have to add it manually with: route add default...

I don't like the router my ISP gave to me, so I was thinking on putting it to modem mode and buying an Asus router I could use with OpenWRT. Meanwhile I realized that I have a home server that runs 24/7 so maybe I could turn it into a router if I buy an ethernet card with multiple ports. I found...

I set up the system to function as a router using isc-dhcpd, pf, and was going to use unbound to send encrypted dns requests to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1, but I can't even get it to work without that yet. As it is, when I access a website from my pc connected to the router, the websites don't...

Hey guys :) I recently noticed that I couldn't access my website on my server. Some information: OS: FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4 pf: disabled ipv6 only?: YES ISP supports ipv6 and SLAAC?: YES Router: AVM Fritz!Box 7490 ping6 is enabled in my router settings (for the server) but fails when I use...

On lte 4g i recognised some crashing behaviours which didn't occur on cable. This happens with wine and other sensitive programs. set: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters autodisconnect decimal -1 change mtu on your network-card-settings down to your...

I am running FreeBSD as a router at home. It has the following interfaces: igb0: connected to my cable modem igb1: wired LAN 192.168.0.1/24 wlan0: wlan AP, 192.168.1.1/24 Routing rules allow the wired and wireless subnets to communicate with each other and route to the Internet. I'm currently...

Hello all, I am looking to allow a processes inside jails to make network requests (such as DNS lookups, http requests, etc). The spit in the punch is that I wish to avoid giving them an alias on the host's NIC as I want to automate the creation and destruction of jails, and wish to avoid...

Hello All, I am attempting to find out what my issue is with my FreeBSD Router that I am attempting to build. I have set up the following tools on my OS on my router: HostAPD DNSMasq PF All of which appear to work and I can route through the AP. However; I am not getting nearly the speeds or...

Hi, I have set up the lagg0 failover virtual link that aggregates ethernet and radio adapters on my laptop. Everything works fine, except I cannot access my router configuration page. I've changed the firewall script to use interface "lagg0" in the rules, but I didn't change much, and the...

What's your opinion about this? Should you have separated router and a server machine or is it okay to have every service in the same machine? By services I mean DNS, NAS, VPN, murmur etc. Should you keep a router purely as a router?

I have somewhat limited understanding about networking and I was wondering, that could I use my FreeBSD server as a router with a network switch, because the machine has only one Ethernet port. I would connect the FreeBSD router to the network switch and the network switch directly to the...

I just set up port forwarding (port 22) on my router (ip of 192.168.1.1). Now I can ssh into my server (ip of 192.168.1.7) remotely (from another internet connection) using its new static domain name I made with the www.noip.com service. However that new host name doesn't work when I'm on the...

Hi guys! I've been a couple of days trying to set up a router in a virtual network using FreeBSD and I can't get it work I'm afraid. A quick summary of what I have and what I want to achieve: I have 2 interfaces: xn0, which is the external interface, and bridge0 which is internal. The...

Hi, I have an internal network with FreeBSD server with nginx and other programs running inside jails. I used to use Netgear DGN2200v3 router for internet connection and with the recent upgrade to NBN (Australian fiber network) I tried to use the Belkin AC1750DB (F9J1108v2), but the local...
