How can I get into turn wireguard off.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you can get into the console you can choose option 15 “Restore recent configuration” and roll it back.

THANKS,

I have my config.xml file on a usb , and set to factory setting . I hit 5 and inserted USB to boot from it gets son and then ask to enter full pathname or return for /bin/bash.
when i try 15 it comes up with a list of config. Can i boot from the usb?

I am not clear on the question, you can load pfsense on a USB then boot from it and reload it.

When I try reboot from the usb drive to loads so far and request that enter full path of shell or rerun to / bin/ bash?. Not sure what to do here?

If tried ssh instead of using usb on the pfSense install on HPT600.

Not sure where go from here?

If you can’t get in, download pfsense, load pfsense on a USB, then boot from it and reload it.

I have finally been able to login to my pfsense , however i an concerned if i have to reboot the system it boots up and stops ( Enter full pathname of shell or Return for /bin/bash. )
At this point if i type “exit” it resumes and completes. I don’t know it has stopped unless i am in the console.

Do you think that the ssd drive faulty or my config.xml is there solution.

(I have a screenshot if this will help, how do i attach to message?)

Sounds like something on the boot loader is messed up, backup and reload the pfsense is probably the fastest way to fix it.

I am trying to install pfsense on a new m2 sata sdd 240 wd green. The usb boot of pfsense loads up , however it does not load with the PFS logo only text and then stops 2 thirds down the line.

So i am not able to reach the blue configure screen.

Ive loaded the orginal m2 sata sdd which booted up but again stppoed at Enter full path of shell or returnu to / bin/ bash usual .

Any idea why it will boot to blue screen to configure?
