Yet, location update still yields:
[root@ipfire ~] # location update
Downloaded database is outdated. Trying next mirrorâŚ
Could not download a new database
[root@ipfire ~]#
Any clues, suggestions on how do diagnose the issue?
Hello,
After upgrading to 150 the network works but behaves strangely, I connect to the GUI but its blank, I also canât connect via SSH. Is it the same problem as others have?
I still have dropouts of the firewall, although the Location Filter already excludes DE, Austria and Europe. Only after a complete deactivation of the Location-Filter with a restart of the red one I can work again.
Apparently there is no really permanent solution yet, is there?
I will just say that it is too risky to do upgrades in remote locations. Of the 6 locations that I update regularly, they rarely go smoothly at all. All praise for IPFire but a safer way to upgrade must be found. The feeling when IPFire is not online after update rebootâŚ
My freshly upgraded core 151 will not update the database. Getting the same message,
Downloaded database is outdated. Trying next mirrorâŚ
Could not download a new database
[root@ipfire location]# location update
Downloaded database is outdated. Trying next mirrorâŚ
Could not download a new database
[root@ipfire location]#
I have just installed the Core Update 151. According to the website IPFire 2.25 - Core Update 151 released you should be able to see where an IP address is assigned but I canât find a point for it on the web interface. Is this only readable via command line?
In addition to that, we now show whether an IP address is marked as an âanonymous proxyâ, âsatellite providerâ or âanycastâ which helps debugging network issues and investigating attacks.
The issue seems to be that after an upgrade, the empty file /var/ipfire/remote/enablessh does not exist therefore remote access is refused. Go to your gui, System | Remote access and click save, it will recreate that empty file and you should be able to remote ssh.
It worked for 2 hours and is now offline or locked out of ipFire again
Iâm in the process of maintaining our mail servers or installing important updates and itâs really bad when you get fired
Even with the Core 151 I had no network. After deactivating the location filter and reading the firewall rules everything worked again. Unfortunately I canât test all regions here until the error occurs because then I canât get to my actual work (data center operation).

this should not happen anymore. Does this persist if you download a new version of the location database using this command:
location update
(This seems to fail on some systems for an unknown reason at the time of writing, please refer to this thread if you experience downloading issues as well.)
@all: Is anybody else still observing this on Core Update 151?
I have the Core Update 151 and could update the DB once. Now I get the message that I have the latest version of the DB on my system.
I would have liked to write earlier today but it was not possible to register on the website here.
