Thank you for developing the beta and OPNsense :)

OOPS,

I was trying some new rules and when I went to delete one I LOST ALL rules on the lan interface except the default lockout rule.

A history search and backup got them back but is this a recurring thing and removing a rule will do this consistently?

How do we remove unwanted , un needed or just non working rules?

ok, I added several names to my /etc/hosts  with different names and the same ip for the different names.

to be clear the host file i used is on the machine i use to access all others and NOT on the OPNsense box!

what happens is you can use  any of the names and they all resolve to that ip.

I use tumbleweed/ linux and have not tried it in windows yet. Have to install a windows 7 and windows 10 VMs but have been too lazy to do so for months now :)

:EDIT nothing bad or funny happens that i can find

I use static assignments so that i can ping ssh or whatever (even to a nas) by ip and not name. For me remembering a name is harder than remembering the ip .

But another good question and I'm curious to know myself if the laptop host name (as laptop on the laptop) will be overridden by the host name on OPNsense.

Looks like something to learn since i hit dead ends trying to get IPv6 working for now.

good question!

What i had to do in this circumstance for example is to name a laptop as  laptop-wireless and laptop-ethernet for the static dhcp leases.

I use static on OPNsense and dhcp at the device for all my lan systems. only guests or temporary systems get dhcp leases.

Not a good solution but workable for the moment.

I'm curious to know what others are doing on this dilemma.

my mistake, spectrum bought out bhn here in the Tampa area.

IPv6 is very problematic.

What are your other settings for spectrum?

I'm also using /56. I tried a /64 but If i use /64 then NTP flips out and Dhcp6 no longer runs and anything else (for example /60) makes radvd puke about needing to see a /64

a /56 seems to be a starting place for everything to run and not puke. But still no IPv6

It would be nice to have IPv6 working but theres some kind of problem between Spectrum and OPNsense, they no like one another it seems.

I give up maybe another day.

I'm using the beta you mentioned and have the same problem. I may be a spectrum/comcast problem possibly.
