Dual Nic PCIe card for PFsense on an older intel board?

xentr_thread_starter
The last Opnsense full update broke my cloudkey plugin (http 404 error) and nothing seemed to be bringing it back.... It's been months and I've been relying on having the app running on my secondary mini-PC but that either required me to force it avoid sleeping or just use the app without the 24/7 logging of the network.

Fast forward to this week and I tried every trick in the book without success, only to discover that disabling Unbound DNS allowed me to connect to the server to configure it, and am now able to connect even after re-enabling Unbound DNS.

Not sure if it's been Unbound DNS all along, or if it just happened to fix itself on its own.

It broke again and didn't appear to be interested in coming back so I've moved my 24/7 cloudkey over to a windows app on a N95 Trigkey that I just leave on 24/7/ Probably not a hell of a lot more power than a dedicated Unify cloud key. Only downside is that it's not rigged up to recover after a boot thus windows needs to be logged in and the app started. (I can put the app on startup, not sure about the automatically logging in).

I saw those a few weeks back.... Lack of >1G is a major issue in my books but at least it's got a 2.5G WAN. Is it safe to assume that the backplane of the 1G ports would support 4G combined throughput, or would it be like an older 1G switch that cannot make use of >1G at all?

As far as life being "easy".... everything in the network works well. OPNSense is updated regularly and in most cases does not require rebooting (rough guess is maybe every 5'th update requires rebooting) and running the windows unifi app on a mini-pc seems to work as well as a stand-alone cloudkey would except that it doesn't auto-recover on a windows update reboot and requires me to log into windows and restart it.

I'm itching to grab one or two of the new(er) wifi 7 APs in order to upgrade my current wifi 6 ones to 6e protocol. :)

edit: Nope, looks like it's a basic 1G backplane which can't use more than 1G combined....

Yeah it's unfortunate hardware picks. The 2.5G WAN is mostly pointless, thus why I said only if your at 1G. The UXG-Max (https://ca.store.ui.com/ca/en/pro/category/all-cloud-keys-gateways/products/uxg-max) has the right hardware but that lacks the built-in Network controller, defeating any simplification of your network...

I saw the WiFi 7 AP's were in stock as of last night :)

Heh... LOL at the comment from the unifi tech WRT the device itself being able to get firmware updates @ 2...5G. :)
