Yes i know iptables is linux, but according to the freebsd manual it's supported so i thought it might be under the opnsense fork as well.

Maybe you are referring to "IPFILTER", the 3rd of the FreeBSD firewalls?

"FreeBSD has three firewalls built into the base system: PF, IPFW, and IPFILTER, also known as IPF"

Yes, ip filter must have been what i misread as iptables, brain sees what it want to see i guess

My bad, i had accidently added the wireguard interface to my DNSMASQ config.
WireGuard uses statically assaigned IPs

So, upgraded my box to 25.7.2 and now DNSMASQ is unhappy and refuses to start.

Seems like it doesn't find my wireguard interface anymore.

pf for the firewall
ipfw for the shaper

IPtables is Linux - OPNsense is built on FreeBSD.

What's pw?

PW - Well that's a typo :p

And Thank you for answer, now I'm gonna try to learn as much as i can about the PF firewall

Hi, been searching but can't quite tell which firewall that Opnsense uses under the hood.
Which firewall is used?

• PW
• IPFW
  
• IPtables
  
  If several are supported then tell which is primary.

Can confirm that the privileges was the issue.

Quick guide for anyone in need
System>Access>Groups

Add a user group like user. Append webgui permissions of your choice (i did dashboard permissions only) save go back to System>Users and make your new user a member of the group user.
You can now log in using the webgui with your newly created user.

That's good to know.
I guess i expected that to happen automatically as the web interface is the primary place to log in and what's the use of adding a user if you cant use it.

[never log in]

Been bashing my head against a wall trying to add user to my new opnsene machine this evening.
Adding a user isn't an issue but unfortunately i can never log in though the web interface using this newly created user.

Do i have to do anything special to make log in through the web interface possible?
I can't see anything in the documents https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/user-local.html
Perhaps i need to add the user to some sort of group giving it privileges?
