Keep it? Is it that old already I just got it three years ago. or is it that it's running a version of firmware pre-dating using a "plus". Yeah… Just started a project ( a somewhat big project for me, Mobile event temporary, backup Internet ) and went to download the ISO, apparently there was a Community version! apparently there's also not a Community version now! looks like I'm moving to opesense for all my future needs ( I hope they do something with that horrible UI ), Netgate hardware for sale! Discussed. It was a project you could start off with get familiar with in a home lab / home setup and then grow into deploying in the real world I was a user since m0n0wall and had plans of using netgate stuff wherever possible and really liked the hardware/support offerings.
Yeah I was a bit confused why I was on different versions as I bought them both at the same time in 2020. I think for some reason I think it was last year I was having trouble with my settings and did a factory reset which didn't actually reset things and sort of bricked then had to contact for a recovery image. after that I don't think it updated. So I'm sitting here with two devices thinking ones getting updates did they discontinue the other one that's like brand new? I couldn't track down any information of what the current version supported was.
Yeah ISC DHCP I got the crazy message and enabled it kind of nuclear bomb scare kind of messaging. Then a month later I started noticing that some systems weren't getting IPV4 DHCP but putting in a manual address worked. I turned that off and now I have devices that are getting DHCP now. So weird some devices would and others weren't I thought it was windows 11 for a while and then I noticed it on another Mac but meanwhile my Mac is getting them fine so confusing. Yeah I'm one for compatibility but I'll take functionality over that.
I much prefer the DHCP reservations but yeah literally half my computers would get on no problem. then my mom got a brand new MacBook Pro it would connect to the Wi-Fi and get no DHCPv4 only DHCPv6. Same with windows 11 which is why I thought maybe it was part of the stupid windows updates. I thought it was just Wi-Fi then I started noticing it didn't matter whether it was Wi-Fi or Internet it just seems like it was individual systems and then the pattern started to emerge across multiple systems.
I attempted to poke around in the logs and never really found anything. I think I tried to packet capture at one point and I believe I was seeing the request.
"500 to hurt yourself." HAHAHA yeah did that with an older version. had a Dell opdPlex running the pre-net netgate version. One day I found out I was publicly exposing SSH due to a weird bridge configuration that was sort of working. Yeah I'm going education I understand but it seems like nothing has been working for me and I'm in this Bermuda triangle.
"Wait ... Why ? Ah, I get it. You have IPv6 questions ?"
IPv6... no yes no confused not a question I think maybe I need to reread it… Oh I get it haha. I am semi-familiar with it but it was annoying to have reasonable knowledge and yet not have service for the longest time that supported it, I can only go so far with theoretical and need to tinker.
Thanks. yeah wasn't sure what the current version was supported wondered if anybody else might be having the same problem, before opening a ticket.
