Description

I just realizd that each time the tincd(8) daemon is started, pfSense detects the new IP address on its dedicated interface (in my case /dev/tap0), thus it recalls the script /rc.newwanip, which in turns calls the script /rc.start_packages, generating an infinite loop: in fact restarting the tinc service make the tap0 interface have its IP reassigned, and again and again... :S

I attached the first two occurrences of the loop, which I'm not able to stop but manually killing tincd(8).

I guess that this is a show-stopper issue affecting everyone who wants to run tinc on pfSense.

Maybe there is a way to tell the /rc.start_packages script not to act upon the tinc service?
