OPNsense Forum

Good Day Community !!!!
If I am writing or asking question then the issue pretty sure is close to bug state. I am building networks over 18 years, for me create VTI set is normally takes between 15 to 20 min max, include FRR eBGP.
I ran into issue where latest version OPNsense 26.7.2_2-amd64 FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p2, VTI is not passing any traffic. All traffic 0 in or out in bytes.
Tunnel is in state ESTABLISHED and no retransmissions.
That state before firewall where are I don't see any traffic on tcpdump enc0 interface.
I see that in opnsense bind VTI interface to loopback, but nothing is routed through.


Any hint what else I can check. Really appreciate on hard work of all people who keeping lights on !!!
