Nothing like a one thing failing after another on Field Day Weekend;
- Surprise you need rear brakes in addition to the B356 service
- Surprise your radio now doesn't seem to have output power (likely blew a output transistor
- Surprise - you have no WiFi at home (ubnt controller and AP).
I have had less than two hours of sleep since 6am Saturday and now this. NOT what I had it mind for a resting evening.
Well - awesome. Good thing I still had the old APs, doesn't appear to be a controller, DNS, DHCP or router issue.
Device has been reset,.. power cycled and reset again. Sigh.. I'm hungry now..

@gjacobse at least you got out to operate Feld.Day, family commitments kept me off the air this year

One of my kids discovered rainbow road this evening...
I'm still laughing... is that cruel?

I hate to hear that. Atmospheric conditions were junk for a good while…
Hopefully family is safe and healing..

Been in Guatemala City the last few days. About to do my last bit of walking around before it is time to head out to Atitlan.

After you get done poking around with pfSense, check out OPNsense -- it's pretty good too.

I could just google it but I'm kind of lazy. lolYeah, pretty much same vein as pfSense. The last time I compared the two, OPNsense looked and felt a little more modern.
I wouldn't be afraid to use either of them for stuff.

pfSense was purchased years back and while still available, the open version is a 2nd class citizen

Thanks for the heads up. It's been a while since I dug into pfSense.

Lame. No wonder I've heard nothing of it in forever.

Why? What's the goal? It's pretty rare that I would want a software router outside of a lab setting.

Long ago I did. I don't find it as good as Ubuntu itself.

On Lake Atitlan for the next several days. And it appears that we actually have working INternet here at our little jungle hotel place.

It was something I was working on a while ago that just spun back up to start over again.

I've not used a software firewall in decades. In a lab, sure, but not in production. You really always want hardware, but sometimes in the cloud you can't. But typically your cloud provider will provide the firewall in those cases. So it basically never comes up.

About to go hiking around the lake while waiting for @valentina to wake up and want her coffee.
