Title: Internet randomly dies
Post by: n1nja on August 31, 2021, 05:07:17 pm

Hi,

Twice now since I installed opnsense on a protectli I've had it kill internet on me.  I can't even ping the firewall inside IP.  What I do to fix it is push the power button until it shuts down, then turn it on again and all is well.

I have a suspicion that it's sensei causing the problem but I can't be certain without examining logs.  The reason I suspect it is because once I initiate the shutdown sequence internet comes back fairly quickly until the box shuts down, so its seems as if a service is shut down at the point it comes back.

Short of being prepared at that moment to console into the firewall I'm not sure what I can do to check what occurred around that time.

I read somewhere in the forum about someone who configured one network port with a different ip-range, to be able to access the box in a situation just like this.

Found it: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=23222.0

Code: [Select]

I set one up with a simple pass rule just in case I lock myself out of the other LAN port.

Considered this but it would be nice to find it in a log somewhere.  Might have to resort to this
