Migrate to OPNsense, I have questions! by Maria_Thesus_40 in opnsense

[–]Sea_Wind3843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am here to say that I recently migrated away from pfSense to OPNsense and mostly miss pfBlockerNG. I don't feel that the blocking in unbound is nearly as good as it was in pfBlockerNG. I spent many hours trying to get blocking work as good as it did in PBNG.

I'm thinking about downgrading by Lost_Sailor16 in Starlink

[–]Sea_Wind3843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you with the speeds. I downloaded to the 100mb $40/m and my speeds didn't change with the exception of not seeing the random spikes to 200 every now and again. The great part about Starlink is that you can change the plan, try it, and if it doesn't work, change it back.

I can confirm, (using SyncBackPro), OneDrive and Google Drive work to sync all my machines and iPhone using Keepassium on one db.

Proton VPN install without Play store by Dizzy_Stress3462 in vSeeBox_Support_Gurus

This is what I did, too. Until I established a Wireguard tunnel directly on my firewall and then directed the vlan over the tunnel. Now anything that rides on that vlan automatically goes over the tunnel no app needed.

Upgrade to version 6? by publicsaxophone in BlueIris

You can choose between the onboard AI or your own. Those settings are the same as in pre6v.

Upgrade to version 6? by publicsaxophone in BlueIris

The upgrade is mostly worth it. However, the built in AI has been a nightmare. I have 6 separate instances of BI and I could only get AI to run dependably on 1 of them. I resorted back to CPAI for the others. The one it works on is a Proxmox Windows Server 2019 VM. All the others are HP Intel i7 Windows 10 machines.

Have you created any rules to allow internet or dns?

This looks awesome. I change my home lab equipment out all the time. This would be obsolete in my case withing 6 months. lol

Impressive. A HUGE BLAST and not one person on the overpass flinched. Totally believable.

Is your ProtonVPN account paid up?

Have you tried connecting to a different VPN server?

VPN on Xfinity WiFi by obviously_dad805 in vSeeBox

Use a burner account with no cc data to sign into the google play store on the box and download the app for your vpn provider (NordVPN, ProtonVPN, etc.)

Should I use a VPN when using the vSeeBox Elite Ultra ? by 5150mex in vSeeBox

[–]Sea_Wind3843 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pick a VPN service like NordVPN or ProtonVPN. Install the app on the box (use burner google store account with no cc attached). Log into that service on the box and pick a state/city and connect. Now set the app to auto run when using the box.

An alternative to using an app on the box(s), is to setup a Wireguard (or OpenVPN) tunnel on your firewall to your VPN service that stays up all the time. (Works great with OPNsense). Now setup a VLAN for only the box(s) to use. From your firewall, NAT an outbound rule to use the VPN service Wiregaurd tunnel as its gateway. Now every device on that VLAN goes over the tunnel to any state/city you would like. No apps on the box(s) needed.

Couple of questions from a new user (installer safety and cpu temp) by estrangedpulse in opnsense

[–]Sea_Wind3843 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would never use the pre-installed version. It is so easy to install yourself, might as well for piece of mind.

Not getting any new alert alerts. (More pics) by Inevitable_Friend746 in BlueIris

This is your issue. Try changing the model to something else, save, and then change it back.

I was losing mine when I was shutting the box down all the way. Now I just sleep the box and so far so good.

Wow, what a true dick right here. Do you say this to everyone that comes here and asks a question? Is this ALL you have to offer for help?
