Hello: I recently started having an issuer where on the two wired hosts on my lan have their Src Hostname switching from ip address to hostname.localdomain in reports and live sessions. If I reset the reporting database they start reporting again with their static ip addresses again but after a wile revert to reporting as hostname.localdomain again. This only happens on the two wired hosts and none on wifi. This is recent since the upgrade to Opnsense 25.1.2. I have never noticed this behavior before. Can anybody give me an explanation for this and a possible fix?
Hi,
Are the other hostnames accurate? Zenarmor is also capable of utilizing OPNsense alias definitions. You can either add these two hosts with the proper DNS names in Firewall - Aliases or disable the DNS Enrichment feature of Zenarmor in Settings - Privacy - Enable DNS Enrichment.
All the other host names on wifi show only ip address which I want. It was only the wired machines that were showing the hostname.localdomain randomly on and off. I switched off dns enrichment in zenarmor as you sugessted and they just show ip addresses. Thanks for the reply.
I though this problem was solved but it keeps coming back. After a restart of Opnsense my two hardwired computers will show the Ip address in the reports. After It has been up and running for a while they will start reporting with Hostname.local domain instead of ip address. All wifi clients always report with ip address as I would like the wired clients to as well. It makes no difference if dns enrichment is enabled or disabled. I have no aliases set in unbound for any clients.
