Title: After fresh install and config restore GeoIP isn't working anymore
Post by: Patrick M. Hausen on November 09, 2025, 11:27:39 AM
Hi all,

I swapped a dying SSD for a new one, performed a fresh installation and imported a saved configuration.
Everything went smoothly - apart from GeoIP aliases.

It seems I can download neither from ipinfo nor from maxmind.

Any time I click on "Apply" this is the message I get:

(https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=49221;image)

Manually fetching the data with the exact URLs I place in the UI of course works.

Any ideas? Version is 25.7.7_4.

Thanks,
Patrick

I tried a fresh installation and used an URL like "https://ipinfo.io/data/ipinfo_lite.csv.gz?token=xxxxxxxxxx" - this worked fine. You URL start "https://12..." looks a little odd?

BTW: You need to define an alias and actually use it in a rule for the data to be retrieved at all... before that, the number of entries shows up as 0.

Now I got it. Yes, that message pops up after a restore. However, the input field is being restored. When you hit apply, it works if an alias and a rule exist.

Still, it is a bug.

I'm still getting an error even after changing it to maxmind. Direct download via the URL works fine.

The aliases and rules are set, but they aren't working.
