18.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] DNS and PING problems since 18.7¢[
« on: August 03, 2018, 01:34:14 am »
Hi all,
I use OPNsense for quite some time now (actually since it forked), and it has always been stable. Especially the updates were always perfect: nothing broke and everything kept working as intended. Unfortunately, since 18.7 there are problems.
DNS didn't seem to work right after the upgrade, but we also can't use ping in the LAN anymore and some Linux servers can't update anymore.
I used dnsmasq before, but disabled that since dns didn't work at all with it. I now switched to unbound, which does seem to work. But the thing is: we still can't use ping (I hoped both problems would be fixed). I can't ping private nor public IP addresses, and to make it worse: it's also impossible to ping the router itself from a connected device.
I searched quite a bit on the internet, but couldn't find problems that looked exactly like this one. I see there are quite some problems with 18.7, but I haven't found the same problem (but I could have missed it).
I am no networking or DNS specialist, so I would love to have some help with this problem. Any pointers or ideas where I can start looking for the ping problem?
By the way: although DNS seems to work, I am still not feeling that DNS is completely stable, but I need more time tomorrow to check whether this is true.
