Title: Can't connect to some sites
Post by: Ansio on February 25, 2026, 04:58:53 PM
My friend and I decided to try to learn some new things. So we installed opnsense and have been messing around with it over the last day.

Its a fresh install. The only thing we have done is set it up to use a VPN. And the steven black block list, which has now been disabled.

When we try to access this forum it will not load the page. The page that loads is just a basic browser error page that says check your proxy or firewall. When I disconnect from opnsense I am able to load this forum.

I have checked the live logs on the firewall and the only thing that shows up as block is some other address.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or where we should be looking?

Thank you.

Are connection problems while on VPN? What VPN? Same if it's disabled?

I will turn off the vpn (pia) when I get home and try it.

I did not think that could be the problem because when I use the desktop pia client I can access the forums. Maybe it is different when it is setup in opnsense.

Thanks for the reply
