I've followed everything to a T but it won't cache anything even when I set my ps4 dns to the server ip. Nothing at all in any logs. Also it borks normal internet as well but apt-get still works. Ubuntu 16.04. Any ideas ?

bntjah commented 7 years ago

Hi James,

Sorry for only reading this now. If you set another server / pc / client to this dns and then try to ping one of the dns settings what do you receive?

Thats ok its hard to get time to do things sometimes. This is output from powershell from the Win 8.1 host box. Im also using the installer script.

192.168.70.1 is Pfsense. 192.168.70.132 is fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 Vm. The Vm is a static ip and 133 - 150 are DHCP just in case. I havent tried caching anything else other than PS4 as thats about the only thing ill be using it for.

From the Vm I can ping 8.8.8.8 but doesnt seem like anything else even apt-get can access the internet but before running the script I could. ens33 is vm adapter and ens33:1 - ens33:13 are virtual.

jamesntiff commented 7 years ago

If you need any more information let me know. Been messing with this and still cant get it running.

bntjah commented 7 years ago

Have you checked the logs for sony?

It0w commented 7 years ago

Hm ... Maybe try disable Web-Proxy on pfsense

I had the same problem with Opnsense

jamesntiff commented 7 years ago

I just reinstalled Ububtu, ran the lc-installer, and this is what I get. Im also using a dedicated lan adapter. No error messages in the logs as far as I can see. Im not able to download anything with my PS4 as long as I have the resolver(unbound) in Pfsense set. capture

It0w commented 7 years ago

sry maybe dumb question but are you sure nginx is running ?

try to start it with service lancache start or /etc/init.d/lancache start

jamesntiff commented 7 years ago

Yeah I've tried that. Reboot /etc/init.d/lancache start. Disable ufw. Tried forwarding ports. It has to be something simple I'm missing.

raz3r83 commented 7 years ago

My suspision would be DNS resolution issues.

Namely PFsense set to direct requests to lancache, lancache is asking pfsense for dns resolution?

Try ensuring 8.8.8.8 or another external dns service is set as the lancache servers dns. Think thats in the notes.

I had an issue where the lancache couldnt resolve local devices by name, seemed to be fixed by running dhclient.

jamesntiff commented 7 years ago

Ya, I'll give it a shot. Can't hurt forsure.

It0w commented 7 years ago

If you have a Transparent Web-Proxy Running on your Pfsense the lancache Will Not work 😒

I realy Hope this Is the problem 😃

Otherwise I have no idea 😢

jamesntiff commented 7 years ago

Ok. So instead of vmware player I tried Hyper-V. I used my second Gb lan card and created a switch with everything unchecked and no extentions. Installed and updated Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Ran the lc-installer script. I added prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4; to /etc/dhclient.conf and ran dhclient which restored internet access. Shutdown pfsense, the VM, and host machine. Boot order = Pfsense, Host box, Ubuntu Vm, sudo /etc/init.d/lancache start (removed lancache-microsoft.conf due to nginx errors.) Started PS4.

Pfsense Dns Resolver Custom Options (ive tried only pls.patch.station.sony.com by itself and various other configurations) also Dns Forwarder with the same domains. The domains are added to unbound.conf as well. The .134 is the virtual lan created by the script for sony. local-zone: "lancache-sony." redirect local-data: "lancache-sony. 600 IN A 192.168.70.134" local-zone: "sony.com." transparent local-zone: "pls.patch.station.sony.com." redirect local-data: "pls.patch.station.sony.com. 600 IN A 192.168.70.134" local-zone: "dl.playstation.net." redirect local-data: "dl.playstation.net. 600 IN A 192.168.70.134" local-zone: "dl.playstation.net.edgesuite.net." redirect local-data: "dl.playstation.net.edgesuite.net. 600 IN A 192.168.70.134"

It seems like it starts to work but downloads are very slow and its not serving whatever parts it MIGHT be caching. Also looks like it starts and stops at random. Ive also added google dns to the vm's dns in pfsense which didnt help as well. Im at a loss as what to try next. Download Max is 24mbps... capture capture1

jamesntiff commented 7 years ago

Tried again with vmware. Edited unbound, nginx, and dhclient. Fixed an issue with pfsense resetting states during high latency. Now after I download a game on my ps4 it works the first time but when I delete it and re-download the game it takes forever and the vm just stays at max incomming traffic even after I stop the download. This seems like a really easy install/setup but for whatever reason it will not work for me... Thanks for the help everyone.

@jamesntiff I'm currently rebuilding my config / setup as I'm also testing with the range cache so I will be testing if I encounter the same issues... If not I will close the issue

jamesntiff commented 7 years ago

Awesome. Thank you

Anything?

cyrianox commented 7 years ago

Just build a server for a cyberface (using an old computer freshly installed debian9)... wasn't easy.. step by step, you have to set up : 1\ dhcp server (set dns to your dns server) 2\ dns server(unbound is easy to use) 3\ nginx server 4\ update /etc/host and ethernet config (virtual interfaces), all nginx files according to your virtual interfaces

nexusofdoom commented 7 years ago

works for me

ok did fresh install of 8.7.1 64bit and used the install script

#fresh install debian 8.7.1 64bit #just install base system with ssh - no gui desktop#install from cd1 #need to enable sudo debian - and enter root password

su

#install sudo

apt-get install sudo

#access to sudo from normal user

usermod -a -G sudo "localuseraccountname"

#reboot box

#install git

apt-get install git

#get script files from url = https://github.com/bntjah/lc-installer https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fbntjah%2Flc-installer&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEWh6ABYkXt5yBefpJHcXUPzqj30w#This script has been tested under Debian 8.6 amd64.

git clone -b master --recursive http://github.com/bntjah/lc-installer/ http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fbntjah%2Flc-installer%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNE17BfucxDaE-XWhWnu4yg0fEamLQ cd lc-installer chmod +x installer.sh sudo ./installer.sh

#reboot then done

Ok thanks everyone for he help. Finally got it working just havent had time to post back. Thanks nexusofdoom, that worked after tweaking a few things.

Just wondering if any of this is normal. If I download a game thats say 1GB it will download about 3-4GB before its done and when downloading to another console after its finished most of the time it will still need to download around 25% or less from the internet.

Other thing is the initial download will max the connection but only pass a small amount to the ps4. Say 20mbps incoming and only 1-5 mbps outgoing to the console.

Any ideas or is this normal ?
