Title: No web access from LAN interface, full web access from VPN interface, same WAN
Post by: FarmServer on October 17, 2018, 03:10:20 am
I really have no clue what I did here. And its bugging the crap out of me. I have my OpnSense running in a VM, it has been this way for quite a while with no issues.

My LAN was hooked up to an access point to provide WIFI.
Another NIC(on the same network card) was plugged in to a computer for VPN access.

At some point I have lost internet connection with the clearnet LAN, it does log into the WebGUI fine but cant access any external pages.

Anything attached to the VPN works fine. I switched the accses point to the VPN NIC and that worked fine, so its not the AP. I swapped the ethernet interfaces in the WebGUI and the problem didnt stay with one interface. It just stays in whatever is connected to the LAN.

Unplugging the AP and plugging a computer directly with the ethernet cable also only allows access to webGUI and nothing else. So, again, Im doubting its the AP but rather some configuration that broke somewhere.

I appreciate the strict security measures but it is pretty annoying.

I beat my head on this for a while then just reinstalled opnsense, I forgot to try opnsense-bootstrap instead of a clean install. But since its a vm its not like its a huge deal to load another VM.

I will say that whatever happened it was with an old config that I had kept going from 16.7 so who knows what got stuck misconfigured as things changed. And whatever it was doing was crushing unbound DNS on boot. It would take several minutes to not at all to load past that service.
