Description
Folks - as it seems that IGMP Proxy is "broken" and pimd works is it possible to add (or replace) IGMP Proxy with pimd? The config webpage seems like it could be just and update of the IGMP Proxy page. Thanks!
- Project changed from pfSense to pfSense Packages
- Category set to New Package Request

I strongly concur. I was saddened to see multicast break when switching to pfSense. Among the important applications currently broken:
- Retrospect backup endpoint discovery across subnets
- WS-Discovery (or if old-school-scary WINS :( ) cross-subnet networking (SAMBA etc)
- Device discovery for Sonos and other HW
- Endpoint discovery for dropbox
etc...
- Subject changed from pimd in base package with configuration webpage to pimd package
- Assignee set to Jim Pingle
I've been tinkering with this and just about have it ready. Will commit soon.
- Status changed from New to Feedback
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
Should be available to install as a package on 2.5.0 and 2.4.5 snapshot builds soon.
- Category changed from New Package Request to PIMD
This is also now available to install and test on 2.4.4-p3.
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
Tested on 2.4.5_p1 and on 21.02-DEVELOPMENT (built on Mon Feb 01 00:05:45 EST 2021)
Tested with 3 different multicast sources:
- vlc
- iperf
- some multicast test app
Everything was working correctly. I saw correct multicast route table.
This feature request can be marked resolved.
