network

Hello, all. I've installed FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE on my laptop just yesterday and got my wired network up and running. However, I also need to create an access point so I can connect my phone to the Internet (my modem doesn't have wireless capabilities). I've tried following the instructions in...

Hello everyone, as you can see in the title, I'm having some trouble trying to make a load balancer on one of my FreeBSD servers. I don't know why but the configuration that I'm giving to apache looks fine, because it's giving me a "syntax ok" when I restart the service, but asks me if the...

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...

After updating to 12.2-RELEASE my box no longer can reach a default route for ipv4. ipv6 seems to autoconfigure, but ifconfig does not show an inet entry. I have been able to fix it manually, but it requires me to do it after every reboot. Manual Fix after reboot: sudo setfib 0 route add...

I have a Digital Ocean droplet running FreeBSD 12.1-p10 and I am experiencing slow responses to pkg commands. In order to investigate I tried disabling IPv6 (without much success) and did a service netif restart after which my droplet was unavailable. Accessing it via the console showed me that...

Hello All, I would like to ask more experienced users how to conceptually approach the following task. I have a subnet 192.168.1.0/24 running a file server and backup machine in iocage jails (jails' IPs are on the same subnet). I would like to install IP cameras with zoneminder again running in...

Hello, I'm using bhyve on 12.1-RELEASE-p6, with failover mode between ethernet and wireless interfaces enabled and configured as following: ifconfig_em0="ether 10:0b:a9:9e:76:28" wlans_iwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="up laggproto failover laggport em0...

I'm installing FreeBSD 12.1 in a laptop, and when the installation prompts to configure the network (IPv4/IPv6), no adapter appears. I entered another tty (Alt+F4) and run ifconfig, where only lo0 device shows up. Any idea on how to make it recognize the WiFi card?

Hi, I installed FreeBSD on an old computer, which has a 3com 3C900-COMBO NIC. The problem here is that it looks like it detects the NIC, and installs the driver for it, which is called "xl", but unfortunately, it doesn't look like the interface is working properly. This is because I've got a Hub...

I have problem to access some sites but not all, but I have internet connectivity normally. Example this site below cannot be accessed: https://www.linode.com/community/questions/2982/im-unable-to-run-telnet-on-localhost-25-how-do-i-fix-it-solved I get the following message in Mozilla; Hmm...

I'm pretty stumped. I had followed the handbook to setup a lagg interface on my Freebsd 12.1 server a few months ago and everything had been working as it should until a couple of days ago. This is how it is and has been setup for about 4 months: em0...

I have a VPS on CloudAtCost. They have a template for FreeBSD 12.0, and a VPS installed from it works great. The network performance in average 1.5Gb/s / 800Mb/s (in/out). After upgrading it to 12.1 the outbound link's speed droped significantly and becomes 0.7Mb/s ― very consistent. So...

Hello I am currently learning how to use FreeBSD to host some basic services in Jails I am trying to configure networking with jails. I noticed that if I try to connect from a jail to a web server installed on the host, the connection is blocked even if the firewall is disabled. It is a setup...

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...

Hello, I have setup jail (FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE, host is 12.1-RELEASE), I want to allow the jail to have access to host's outside network (em0 and wlan0, can be lo0 too). I have very basic knowledge of networking (I will really appreciate detailed answer with commands and explanation :) ), I...

I would like to apologise in advance, if this is straight-forward, and/or answered elsewhere on the forum--I have tried for the past few hours to look hard before I dared ask any questions, and I combed through the WiFi section of the Handbook, etc. Basically, in short, I am using an EliteBook...

I am in a similar situation to the thread https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/no-dhcpoffers-received-when-trying-to-retrieve-an-ip-via-dhcp.68993/ and receive no DHCP offers via a 'Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet' interface using the alc driver.

I'm comparing network emulation in FreeBSD against performance of an actual in-service network. The network uses rapid spanning tree protocol to reconfigure if a link fails. Testing with the actual network shows around 20 milliseconds of down time before the route is adjusted after link...

I work a lot on guest networks and most require me to accept their terms and conditions that are presented in a webpage. How can I accept these with a fresh install to gain access to the network?
