On OpenWRT GL.iNET based devices, the WireGuard client does not restart upon reboot, even if it was started before rebooting.
Hopefully the /usr/bin/wireguard_watchdog script will help with this as others indicates it should.
My first try was no succes, but since it is supposed to run from cron it does no output. The script on GL-SFT1200 firmware version 3.215, script /usr/bin/wireguard_watchdog is different from the one in the OpenWRT repository, so it needs some investigation.
Other typed languages and tool sets like C# and Delphi come to mind here as well though you need libraries with 1-based data structures to solve the first point.
I feel old, because I vividly remember the PCX (1985) graphics file format: it was the defacto standard under DOS.
TIFF (1986) was slightly younger, and came from the scanner background resulting in very large files though unlike PCX (which had lossless compression), TIFF supported both lossless and lossy compression.
On Windows and OS/2, you had BMP (1985, lossless initially only black and white).
All three suffered from the same problems: different implementations causing all sorts of compatibility problems
Those were the reason for the implementation of newer file formats for graphics like JPG (1992, lossy) and PNG (1996, lossless).
Everytime when installing a pfSenserouter from scratch, I seem to re-learn a few of the below quirks. So it was finally time to document them (:
Quite a few of my pfSense configurations are just doing routing between various networks, should not provide DHCP leases and do not always need or have a WAN connected (i.e. they are LAN-only).
On July 17, 2025, the News Media Alliance reported that it had taken down the website.
It’s impossible to enjoy the content of online media by paying (for instance because payment systems are not compatible, but also because those media often have region blocks), so this is to longer ladders (and understanding how ladders work):
