Title: mDNS repeater problem with 24.1
Post by: LineF on January 31, 2024, 05:33:44 PM
Hello,

I upgraded my OPNsense from 23.7.12_5 to 24.1.
Everything went fine, but after some testing I noticed that the mDNS repeater didn't work.
My Homeassistant Server (in server net) couldn't resolve the clients in the client net.

Reverted back to the snapshot before the upgrade and immediately the mDNS repeater worked as before and the clients could be resolved.

I think mine is no longer working as well. Previous Homebridge install on another machine is no longer seeing devices across subnets.

So I deleted the Homebridge from my Homekit, re-added, and it's working again. Strange that it stopped working properly around the same time I upgraded to 24.1. Seems fine now though.

shame over me...

few hours after I had reverted my OPNsense to the snapshot taken before, I got network problems and had to reboot the FW. Everything worked again except mDNS - on the old release!!

Checking a bit more I found out that I had no rule to enable multicast into my server net. Adding that rule and mDNS worked again  (in the old release). Don't know why it worked before - maybe there were some caching effects from my setup three weeks ago...
I'll try tomorrow with the new 24.1 release. I'm sure it will work...

Thanks!

No shame. We've all been there.  :)
