networking

I am trying to create a network alias for a jail I want to install NextCloud in, but when I run ifconfig nxt0 create, I get the following error: ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument I read on this forum post that there may be something wrong with my kernel modules but unfortunately there...

Hello everyone So I have a dedicated server with Hetzner running FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 currently not running PF firewall. I have a /29 block of addresses assigned to me and I am trying to use them for Bhyve VM's but I am unsure how to go about it. I have read the following form threads...

Hi, I've had FreeBSD (currently 12) running on an older AMD server for several years now. A few weeks back my Wifi router (and central router) died so I replaced it. The new router defaulted IP Addresses to 192.168.50.x, whereas I was running 192.168.1.x previously (both have cidr /24). Because...

Hi, has anyone played around with the rtl8812au wifi-chipset under freebsd? I have setup an access point (awus036ach) with hostapd and the rtwn / rtwn_usb driver using 11g but I am only getting about 1-3 Mbits/s. However I can achieve up to 16 Mbits/s with an Edimax Adapter (rt2870) and the run...

Hi all, When I start the jail, I get this message on my console. nd6_dad_timer: cancel DAD on epair1b because of ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED. Then the jail cannot use IPv6 until the base initiates connection to it (ie, the base pings the jail first). Otherwise, networking over IPv6 does not work Any...

Hello FreeBSD Users, I have installed FreeBSD on my old Apple MacBook Pro(2015). Before installing FreeBSD I have tried the Debian based Linux on my old Apple MacBook pro. Everything is working fine with Debian os. But I wanted to move it to BSD OS really badly. Now I have a problem to make...

So we've got an issue that's been perplexing us. We're using a FreeBSD box as a router, with 1 NIC set to a low MTU (VPN reasons) and another NIC set to a normal MTU. NIC 1 is the route out to to the internet + IPSec interface - MTU = 1350 NIC 2 is the route into our network - MTU = 1500...

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...

Hey guys :) I have problems with getting pci passtrough and vm-bhyve to work. Every time I start the VM the whole host system freezes and reboots (I think only when an ethernet cable is connected otherwise the VM simply won't start). The VM only starts if I comment the passtrough line out...

Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD and jails... and I have difficulties with setting up networking inside a jail. The jail management utility I use is ezjail. I tried different utilities (iocage, qjail, cbsd etc.) but without success. My host system: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Tue May 8 05:21:56 UTC...

I'm translating this over from the pfSense forum, since it appears to be more of an issue with FreeBSD. (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=146029.0) I have had my pfSense router working flawlessly for over 60 days now running 2.3.3 (FreeBSD 10.3). I tried to upgrade on several...

Hi, [Edit] Long story short: My internet adapter fails to get a DHCP lease. I have a VirtualBox FreeBSD guest running on a Windows host on a laptop. Because I will be on the go, I want to have a) a direct connection to the internet from the guest with dynamic IP addresses and b) a host-only...

I am mostly a Linux user, and my knowledge on FreeBSD is quite limited (learning now, as I need to use some FreeBSD servers). On some of them, when I create a jail, it doesn't have networking access, even if I configure it correctly (well, I would say it is correct, but if it doesn't work...

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...

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...

I bought a Rosewill AC1300 (without proper research), and I have tried all the avenues of approach I can. ndisgen created a kernel module that would break my install using the supplied drivers. I also have tried bwn, bwi, if_bwn_pci, and have yet to find anything to get a workable solution...

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with the Centrino Advanced-N 6205 card. I've got FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT installed and I can successfully connect to my home WiFi on the 5 GHz band. However, I'm noticing that there is a significant performance hit to my Internet speeds. When I had a Linux distro...

I've been diving into jails lately and I'm scratching my head. In terms of pure configuration of jail.conf I have no real questions. However in terms of IP usage and interface allocation I have a few. I have read many threads about jails and have seen 2 approaches most widely used: 1) Jail IP...

Hey All, Need you assistance in solving this networking issue. I am running FreeBSD 11-STABLE on my server. Use this machine as a router / NAS. I am investing sometime in setting up jails. Brief overview of what my setup is, what I am trying to accomplish and what the issue is. System is...
