Title: weird behavior of opnsene software
Post by: foesinger on August 09, 2021, 09:05:36 pm
Hey guys, im new to opnsense and have a question.

My opnsense box acts weird, example: I log in the web interface on my pc, i check my things and log off and close the tab,... so far so good, BUT sometimes if i leave my pc alone and dont shut it down or go to energy saving , after my monitor time-out kicks in, my hole internet connection drops,...  but as soon as i power back on my pc -> everything is fine,...

if someone had the same issue, please notify me whats happening, i dont know whats happening.

Thanks, me

What happens when you use a second computer?  Is it able to access the net?

Thats the funny thing, my whole network drops,... no tv, no phone, nothing

sometimes the connecting to my second lan works, slow but it works,... after my pc is up - everything is fine

as i told -> it only happens sometimes or only when i dont shut down my pc correct(after accesing the web ui

We will need a network diagram. All devices, all connections, all IP addresses. Sorry, there's no way to troubleshoot your installation with this little information.

I would use a second computer to log into the FW when you first computers is "causing" this issue.  Then look at the FW syslog and FW rules live view see, also look at your gateway info and dns.  You would need to start looking at what other symptoms are being experienced within your network to narrow down the cause.
