Title: OPNsense 26.1.8_5 Freezes Randomly
Post by: xenon2008 on May 27, 2026, 03:06:16 AM
Hello everyone,
For several days now I've been having the issue that my OPNsense (OPNsense 26.1.8_5-amd64) completely freezes.
When it freezes, it is no longer pingable, and even if I manually assign an IP address to my client, I still cannot reach the firewall at all
So i couldnt reach the web interface, no ping, no Internet, nothing.
At first I thought it was due to my old hardware, so I bought a brand new CWWK mini Firewall, reinstalled OPNsense, and restored the backup file.
It ran fine for a few days, but today the exact same problem happened again, just like on the old hardware.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? I can rule out a hardware issue since this is completely new hardware.
At this point I'm honestly starting to get really frustrated because I can't figure out what's causing it.

After a reboot everything works normally again, but the freeze keeps coming back after some time (Days).
Could somebody help me please?

Thanks & Kindly Regards
