It happened right after the reboot to upgrade to 21.1.7 so maybe they were old mislabeled entries. I hasn't happened since then. I'll keep the live log open for the rest of the day play with filters. If it happens again I'll grab screenshots and plain view. Thanks.

No I did not change the label on existing rules. As I mentioned, sometimes multiple consecutive entries for the same rule get 2 different labels (both wrong). Other times block rules get labels from allow rules. It seems to me it's somewhat random.

I'll post a screenshot next time I come across it.

That worked for me without restarting the web ui. Thanks!

["firewall: let live log use the newly provided rule log label instead of guessing it"]

I first noticed this issue in 21.1.6 (just migrated to it from pfSense 10 days ago), where sometimes when looking at the Live View and applying several filters, the labels applied to the the log entries do not match at all. Somehow labels from unrelated rules are randomly applied. In some cases multiple entries of the same rule are displayed with different labels. Sometimes they do not even match the type of rule (Block labels for allow rules and vice versa).

I was hoping this was fixed in 21.1.7 when I saw "firewall: let live log use the newly provided rule log label instead of guessing it" in the change log. Unfortunately the issue is still present.

I have 2 OPNsense, one physical and one VM and both exhibit this behavior.

You can setup VLANs within VMs if you really want to. Look for "Virtual Guest VLAN tagging (VGT)" in the ESXi documentation. It uses a special VLAN (4095) to do some clever tricks. You can read more about it, but IMO it would be an unnecessary complication in your specific scenario, especially if you are not well versed with managing VLANs in a virtual environment.

I can confirm this as well. Works fine on 21.1.6

If you don't need connectivity outside ESXi then don't bother with VLANs. Just create a vswitch and add it to the OPNsense VM then assign and configure it like you would with a new interface. That's all.

I had the same issue. After I cleared the cache in my web browser (edge 91) this started working again

Thanks, that did it!

Create a new vswitch and tag the uplink. Do not tag it in OPNsense, let ESXi do the tagging and add the new vswitch port as regular interface to OPNsense.

After upgrading to 21.1.7 I noticed that the Updates tab under System, Firmware is hanging and not displaying anything every time I check for updates, run an audit or install a plugin.
