Been on 25.1.10 since release day with no issues. Today, around 4:30-5PM ET, my internet connection just stopped working. None of my devices (laptops, iPads, iPhones) could reach the outside internet. I could reach internal devices (OPNSense dashboard, internal NAT) but nothing external. Luckily, I did a snapshot of 25.1.9_2 before upgrading (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, Y'ALL) so I reverted back to that snapshot. Everything works fine. Tell OPNSense to reuse the current snapshot and again no external internet.
Now running 25.1.9_2 as this is my production box. Just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing today. Thanks.
Yes I did have the same issue earlier, figured it was something on my end... could see local traffic but nothing external
It started working again about 2 hours ago
Are you using cloudflare DNS? I had the same issue and it turns out cloudflare had an outage.
Same here: everything was working fine until around 3AM last night where at some point the internet stopped working, yet OPNsense had an external IP, VPNs were connected, the firewall was showing activity.
But I couldn't even ping quad 9. Switched to a backup router (not OPNsense) and my ISP and VPN provider were not the issue.
Still considering if reverting or trying the RC, to see if it solves the issue whatever it is, as I don't have a snapshot but I do have configuration backups.
Not using Cloudflare DNS

Thank you for your post. I am using Cloudfare over TLS; but, it doesn't explain why it works with 25.1.9_2 and not 25.1.10.
I'm on T Mobile home internet... With the trees out my signal can drop for no real reason.
But yest it did fail for a short time at around that same time of day. It does not go through an OPNsense firewall though.
I had the same issue but was on 25.1.8 since i reverted from the latest . I have noticed over the past 2 updates dns issues. I think it a unbound issue not sure that's why i reverted

I had the same issue previously when upgrading from 24.07 (I believe). I don't have a snapshot, so I had to rebuild everything and when I tried restoring from a config backup it went back to being dead. I thought it was just me.
Thank you all for your replies. Currently on 25.1.11 to see how things go.
Also updated my config to use more than one dns service. Added Quad9 to my list.
I had the same problem after upgrading 25.1.11. So I thought it was the upgrade but sounds like the weird internet behavior might have been outside source and not the upgrade I did.
My internet also stopped working, I added google DNS to the Bind TLS, restarted Bind and Adguardhome services and I was back working again, I had no need to restore a snapshot
