Tutorials and FAQs / Re: OPNSENSE DNS OVER TLS UPDATED NOW ! DEAD SIMPLE

« on: June 23, 2020, 04:58:14 am »

This is a great writeup - and I'm really wanting to implement this.  I'm a full n00b with opnsense so bear with me.  I'm currently running unbound/bind.  I really like the filtering options in bind eg: force safe search etc. etc. with kids in the house.  That being said, it seems that if I want to use this method of DNS over TLS or something like DNSCrypt, I have to give up the filtering of bind?  Is there a way to keep it all?

20.1 Legacy Series / Re: OPNsense NOOB here, very basic setup, possible DHCP issues?

Thanks so much for the response.  Apparently I just needed to post here for everything to work properly.  I rebooted OPNsense so I could make the above post and it's been running ever since.   If it goes down again with the same symptoms I'll post the log files.

Thanks again

20.1 Legacy Series / OPNsense NOOB here, very basic setup, possible DHCP issues?

« on: June 16, 2020, 04:11:50 pm »

Hello all.  I'll preface this with me being a brand new OPNsense user.  I've not found the answer to my issue on the forums here, my apologies if I've missed it.
My setup is very basic.
DSL modem in passthrough --> opnsense box (qotom 515g6)
The wan on the opnsense box is set to pppoe and authenticates, the other 5 ports are bridged as per https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/lan_bridge.html
Ipv4 DHCP is configured to hand out 10.10.10.x address woth a 24 hour lease (default I believe).
I've also enabled opendns.
Everything functions perfectly...for a while.   It seems that after approximately 3 hours clients begin to lose their dhcp addresses, and aren't able to get a new/refreshed address.  If I put in a static IP everything is functional.  Restarting the DHCP service does not resolve the issue, but rebooting OPNsense does resolve it...for about 3 hours.
I appreciate any insight available from those with more experience.
Thanks in advance!
