lan

What would be the ways to share files from a smart phone to a FreeBSD computer over a LAN? It could be either directly through the Wifi adapter or through my home LAN to through the switch and wireless access point. I prefer the access point, but solutions for multiple ways welcome. On the other...

Hopefully my experience and analysis will be appreciated here. IPv6 was developed having multihoming in mind, and it can be beneficial when no single “good” IPv6 supply exists locally. In many parts of the world an ISP can linger in business without offering IPv6 connectivity. The shortage of...

I'm trying to build a multi-router setup in VirtualBox using FreeBSD machines as the routers. I have two VMs, router-1 and router-2, which are on the same subnet and are able to ping one another. router-1 has a bridge interface with the host machine and is able to ping the wider internet. It...

Following guidance from SirDice I've cobbled together instructions on how to run freebsd-update over a LAN rather than directly obtaining the update over the Internet. This would be particularly useful for anyone on a metered on slow connection. The assumption is that the Server has already been...

This is probably really stupid, and I'm in no way a FreeBSD newb, but I'm new to jails, I used to run everything on the main OS, but now I'm trying to setup things that are going to be open to the Internet (like NextCloud, a VPN, DNS) so I want them jailed... I've setup my jails no problem...

I'm currently on Arch Linux and I'm interested in trying with FreeBSD with KDE Plasma (and likely bspwm as an alternative session) on my laptop again after quite some time, and I'm wondering what the way to go there is for managing networks, so easily connecting to and switching between public...

I'm trying to transfer a bunch of movies (.mv4; ~400mb each) from my freebsd server to my mac on my local area network, with: rsync --progress -vvr oliver@myserver.ddns.net:/home/oliver/family_videos . The transfer is excruciatingly slow (75kb/s) I can download files with my internet...

Hi, I just bought a Lenovo Hybrid USB-C/USB-A docking station for my X1 Carbon thats running FreeBSD. I can't get it to play nicely. It seems to detect the dock, lights flash etc. Can turn the laptop on/off via the button on the dock. I bought it to connect 2 external monitors and ethernet...

Hi, I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and for some reason I'm having a weird experience on how my setup is behaving on my network. I have 2 other operating systems on my rig (that's not even a year old), Archlinux, Windows 10 and FreeBSD, all installed on 3 separate SSD's. FreeBSD's volume is in GPT and...

Hi, As some of You know there is net-mgmt/networkmgr which allows convenient/graphical Wireless and LAN connections switch. What I miss in it is the WWAN connection management, DNS management, optional MAC generation and network shares unmount at disconnect. With my solution you still need to...

Hello, Sorry if the title is confusing. My question is when configuring pf I discovered two ways to achieve routing my traffic through my FreeBSD router using pf. The first rule set is as follows. ext_if="em1" int_if="em0" set skip on lo set block-policy drop nat on $ext_if from any to any...
