[pfSense] Dynamic DNS update issue - "The IP address given is not valid"
I am attempting to update the record of my dynamic IP address with CloudFlare. While 2.1-RELEASE doesn't support CloudFlare's DDNS service[1] there is a patchset[2] that was graciously developed by Andres Senetar and merged into master. I didn't feel like upgrading to 2.1.1-PRERELEASE just gain support for a DDNS provider so I went ahead and patched my 2.1 install. Once finding out that the login was my email and not username and that the password was my CloudFlare API key I have found myself confronted with an error, "The IP address given is not valid", that I do not entirely understand. I'm also not all that familiar with PHP. Can anyone assist me in figuring out what is going on. Many thanks, Adam Hunt [1] https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168816-Does-CloudFlare-work-with-Dynamic-DNS-Can-I-update-my-DNS-records-remotely- [2] https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/663 ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list

So these parameters are added blindly regardless of whether they were
set before, is that what you're saying? If so, that sounds like a nasty
bug to me.
Not exactly blindly: the boot config is overwritten based on what's in
the XML. See setup_serial_port() in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc
$fd = fopen($boot_config_file,"w");
...
if(isset($config['system']['enableserial'])) {
fwrite($fd, "-D");
}
...
if(isset($config['system']['enableserial'])) {
$new_boot_config[] =
'boot_multicons="YES"';
$new_boot_config[] = 'boot_serial="YES"';
$new_boot_config[] =
'comconsole_speed="' . $serialspeed . '"';
$new_boot_config[] =
'console="comconsole,vidconsole"';

Brian.

The production physical box (which this XML was pulled from) *was* configured to use a serial port, but the boot loader hangs if it can't find one inside the VM. Solution: go into VirtualBox VM settings > Ports Serial Ports > Port 1 [X] Enable Serial Port Port Number: (leave at COM1) Port Mode: Disconnected Alternatively, you can set Port Mode: Raw File Port File/Path: /tmp/serial-pfsense1 and then it writes both to the VGA console and the serial port file. When you restore XML via the web interface, I now see some boot loader settings are tweaked. Comparing a machine restored via the web interface versus one where I just copied config.xml, I find that the one restored via web interface has: * an extra file /boot.config containing "-D" * extra settings in /boot/loader.conf boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="115200" console="comconsole,vidconsole" Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
