OPNsense hangs on to dynamic IP like superglue.

[Davesworld]

OK I have a situation where I need to get opnsense to release the ip and get the adsl provider to give a new one. It would appear that OPNsense retains the last one used, shutting it down for minutes and even rebooting the bridged modem does no good. It would appear that OPNsense does too well of a job getting the same IP as before even with DHCP to the ISP. Any ideas?

It could be that your ISP is constantly giving you the same IP because they are using the physical link to ID you. I assume this is IPv4?


Try spoofing your MAC address or changing it.
