Title: SOLVED: PING - bind: can't assign requested address
Post by: FredFresh on April 23, 2025, 08:50:09 PM
I need to perform some checks on routing rules and I would like to perform several pings to specific ip/ports from /to different internal subnets and to the web.
When I use the ping interface, it works only if I don't specify the source ip address. I tried to use an ip address active, or not active but available from the DHCP,etc... the result is always this error.

Please, can you help?

You can only use IPs as source, which are assigned to an OPNsense interface. Otherwise replies won't come back.
