    You shouldn't need to load a driver for those, it's in kernel: [25.03-BETA][admin@4200.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat -v | grep mlx 586 mlx4en 585 mlx4 587 pci/lkpi_mlx5_core_pci_table 584 pci/lkpi_mlx4_pci_table 233 pci/mlx 232 mlx/mlxd BTW that ALTQ setting only applies to hn(4) NICs, so only in Hyper-V or Azure.

    Just go to Interfaces > Assign and set LAN to a different NIC. But I'd want to have some other way to access the firewall first so you can revert the change if you need to. The direct console for example.

    @patient0 Once it hits what it shows in the picture there's zero response from they keyboard. That's just my terminal monitor and keyboard that I connect to my hypervisor and pfSense box if I need direct access.

    @Sergei_Shablovsky said in Screen fonts & mode in local terminal issue: Already have in /etc/loader.conf :charset=UTF-8: :lang=en_US.UTF-8: :setenv=LC_COLLATE=C: :umask=022: But unsuccessfully, - the result You able to see above…. Those are not loader.conf configuration directives, those look like /etc/login.conf configuration. (And read the note at the top of that file, especially the part where you have to run cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf after any edits) It does seem like you have some sort of issue/mismatch with UTF-8 handling somewhere, but it's hard to say exactly where. I have no issues with UTF-8 in my terminals over serial or SSH but I have no idea what that KVM setup might be doing.

    Normally not but if you're relying on NAT reflection that would be via the firewall in both directions. Both devices on the LAN would see the traffic as via the LAN interface.

    @Gertjan I am attempting to offload the encryption to the SafeXcel chip, I have had it running in the past with OpenVPN again I am also testing use of it with squid and my swap partition, but of those cause the interrupts to be incremented, but all the sudden OpenVPN will not use the SafeXcel chip anymore and it did with this version a couple months ago. Something is different as it should utilize it like it did in the past. I originally thought it could only be used by one component, that could be fstab file and use of .eli to encrypt the swap and or using it with squid for acceleration of ssl certificates, but they both work, all the sudden OpenVPN won’t increment the counters anymore. It’s weird because from what I am told OpenVPN should do this automatically, the new versions of software remove use of hardware crypto and OpenVPN but I can’t even run tests it acts like the chip does not load. That’s where it has confusion it should still see the counters increment in the system but it does not. It does drastically improve performance with the “ssl engine” directive in squid. Again not many people use .eli at the end of the swap config in fstab. So it’s kind of a trial and error thing. Goal faster vpn access to my private NAS.

    Hi guys, I my case the suggestions in this topic didn't help. However I managed to trace to issue to FreeBSD 14.0 and my PSU configuration. My hardware configuration consists of PicoPSU and 12V power brick, so it's not conventional ACPI PSU configuration. Previous versions of FreeBSD didn't have problems with system Halt, but FreeBSD 14.0 has an issue. When I initiate Halt command the system reboots. The way I fixed the issue is by chnaging the value of hw.efi.poweroff parameter from 1 to 0. So in summary: Go to System/Advanced/System Tunables and create new tunable with the following values: Tunable: hw.efi.poweroff Value: 0 Description: Use EFI runtime services to power off in preference to ACPI I hope that will be of use to someone reading this topic. Best Regards, Nick

    @susamlicubuk i know that thread is a year old, but have you got the rest of the ethernet ports working? While researching for a similar issue with another appliances I looked at the download you linked in the third post. In that download there is a watchdog driver for linux and FreeBSD for resetting and bypass-ing the system. Compiling it for pfSense will be complicated and I'm of no help with that. It's easier on plain Linux or FreeBSD, the driver itself looks quite simple but it's references FreeBSD 8. Not sure how easy it can be compiled for a current FreeBSD. Have you tried compiling and using the driver and userland tools?
