Those are my words. We have a couple of patches in there:
But those are necessary because collectd 5 broke compatibility with existing databases.
Hi all,
we started some time ago with an collectd update but stucked with the OpenVPN patches --> https://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/ummeegge/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=d81bffdc87f527efcbfd55caf727635dd649fdf3 . The initial start was causing lm_sensors which needed an updated collectd, there is also a testing thread in the old forum --> https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?t=23553 , this patch status resulted in a working environment but as mentioned without OpenVPN.
May it is not that far if someone helps out with the OpenVPN stuff ?!
Best,
Erik
I am new to the forum and due to a good offer I ordered new hardware for a firewall relatively spontaneously (same hardware as a PROTECTLI FW4B).
I am looking at what firewall software I will use in the future. Currently I have IPFire and OPNsense on my list.
I haven’t used Cake yet, but I’ve read good things about it, so I searched for it in the forum and found this thread.
Core Update 159 will update the kernel to 5.10. So Cake should be possible with IPfire. Will this be implemented in the GUI?
Under BSD there is no Cake and so IPfire would have an advantage over *sense.
What do mean by ‘cake’?
cake is a packet sheduler and the further development of codel but it need more user configuration.
I have enabled the modul in the kernel but IPFire will not use it yet.
You can experement with it by changing the QoS scripts.
Cake is available as Arne said, but we do not think that it would be a life-changing thing compared to the current fq_codel implementation that we are using. If you would like to play around with it, I would be happy to hear how it works for you.
Thank you. I didn’t find it.
I’ve been an IPFire user since the weekend. Therefore I could not test Cake yet. At the moment I’m still using FQ_codel with the provided template in IPFire.
If I play around with Cake, I will share my experiences. However I probably won’t find the time to try it out at the moment. Besides, I’m still a newbie when it comes to QoS.
“Offloading (ntuple), Cake, all increase throughput further and will be sent to the list soon”
It sounds like you guys are already working on Cake 
By the way:
Great compliment. I like IPFIre very much so far - despite one or two drawbacks/limitiations … . The installation was very easy and understandable.
