pfSense

I get this error upon logging into the web interface. Unsure if it is related but the traffic graphs are no longer working.

I have 2 users that are in the admins group, if that is relevant.

The line number seems to indicate that you might have RFC2136 dyndns client enabled? Can you share anything related to that part of the configuration?

I have unbound enabled because I am using pfblockerng - I am not using a dyndns client.

I have been receiving this error too. No RFC2136 client enabled and no RFC2136 entries in the backup config file.

• when I access the dyndns/RFC2136 page

  this one is particularly bad, I have to recover a prior config to get the web interface to function again.

After upgrading to v2.7.0.a.20221209.0600 I am no longer experiencing this issue and can see the graphs.

Traffic graphs are still working but saw this error after updating this AM:

Do you maybe have a blank entry under the RFC2136 tab for dynamic DNS? If so, delete it.
That's about the only way I can see it still producing an error at that line on current code.

As noted in #note-6, there aren't any entries in the RFC2136 page and when I reference the Page I get the PHP error. I have checked the backup config file again and don't find any references there. Do I need to rebuild the system? Any other methods to clear the table of a blank entry?

Update: Starting by resetting from factory defaults, I could not reproduce the RFC2136 error. However, my configuration includes a LAN gateway and static routes to that gateway, I could not enter the static routes because the gateway field would not populate. Tried multiple ways to enter the LAN gateway but never succeeded, the gateway field remained "-".

Another issue I was having restoring my configuration was with the certificate authority and its certificates, couldn't find a way to restore those separately.

I found several places that can trigger errors the same way between traditional DynDNS entries and RFC2136 entries. Commit coming shortly.

Fixes the first item in #note-6. The widget still has issues:
