17.7 Legacy Series / Update, Ping, and Trace Route are using the LoopBack port
« on: October 09, 2017, 08:40:48 pm »
Hello and Thank you in advance.
I am completely new to OPNsense, IE this is my first install. I have previously used Pfsense (Until hardware failure.) I was hearing OPNsense 17.7 is more secure and such. I am very happy so far with setup and overall ease of use of the web interface. I have found a few minor things such as creating a firewall rule to allow access to the firewall remotely and allow the firewall to ping.
I have found 3 issues that seem to be related but I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong. So, what is happening is that whenever I run a trace route from Shell or the WUI, all hops are the loopback port. Pinging shows the IP is resolved but uses the Loopback port to ping... Also, when I try to update or download the package list it fails stating it cannot reach the host, and it would seem a file is missing. I am sure they are related somehow and probably due to a missing route or firewall issue, but I cannot seem to find any faults or help on this issue.
