23.1 Legacy Series / Re: Update to 23.1.5 & Service status panel visual glitch

Or... funnelling the info through JSON encode/decode makes it harder for PHP to guess if it should return an object or string... So you were on 23.1.4 then.


Cheers,
Franco

Yep - I was on 23.1.4
I'm glad that you have found a solution so quickly. I guess this somehow will roll up into 23.1.6?

Hi Franco, thanks a lot for your swift response! Here's the output of the command:

            ]
        },
        "name": "udpbroadcastrelay",

        },

The patch fixed it - thanks for your hard work!

23.1 Legacy Series / Update to 23.1.5 & Service status panel visual glitch

« on: March 29, 2023, 03:08:12 pm »

Hi,

I have just updated to 23.1.5, and found out that the dashboard is no longer populating the daemon names for udpbroadcastrelay. On my firewall, I have two configured: One for mDNS and one for SSDP.
They are listed under the Services panel on the dashboard.
I now notice that:

- The name for the SSDP daemon is blank
- The mDNS daemon is not at all visible (but is started and does work, since I can connect to devices over mdns)

See screenshots for some more details.
I expect this to be a bug in the latest release. Hopefully someone can jump on this at a convenient time.
Functionality is working, this is just a visual glitch.
@Franco let me know in case you need some further logs to troubleshoot

23.1 Legacy Series / IPv6 + DNSBL shows some ads still

« on: February 02, 2023, 08:00:10 pm »

Hello all,

My ISP provides me with IPv6, which I have configured on the firewall (DHCPv6 on WAN and ‘Track Interface’ on the LAN interfaces I want to use IPv6 on). All works well.

I am using NAT redirect to forward all DNS requests to the firewall.
On the interfaces I have configured pass rules for DNS.
Under NAT settings, I have created two rules:
- one that intercepts all IPv4 traffic and forwards to 127.0.0.1
- one that does the same for IPv6 and forwards to ::1

What I do notice however is that some sites are displaying ads.
In an IPv4-only configuration, the same site is free of ads.

I am suspecting something in my configuration (my hunch is the NAT v6 rule..) is allowing some ads to bypass DNSBL.
Hopefully someone is able to think along in troubleshooting this.

The quick solution was to disable IPv6, although that’s not my ultimate goal

22.7 Legacy Series / Deleting a ZFS pool before installing?

« on: September 12, 2022, 07:21:59 pm »

When performing a clean install of OPNsense, selecting ZFS as partition layout I receive a message indicating the pool name is in use. It asks me to go ahead using the existing one (zroot), but instead it refers to ‘xzroot’. I want to clean out the whole partition table and start from scratch (basically formatting as if it was a new disk).

Is there any way I can do this during the installation process?

22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Loss of connectivity after reboot of modem

Hi all,

I managed to fix this by upgrading to 22.7.3.

22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Loss of connectivity after reboot of modem

« on: August 29, 2022, 05:41:06 pm »

Spoke a little too soon. Issue still there.
I have installed 22.7 fresh and restored my backup. Rebooted the firewall, then the modem, gateway comes up as well as connectivity (Unbound is auto-restarting as well I see on the dashboard).

This would confirm a bug slipped into 22.7.1 or .2, causing what I notice.
In case anyone else has a setup with cable modem in bridge mode, serving DHCP WAN, would you mind giving this a try to see if you’re facing the same?

I will raise a bug on GitHub in the meantime. First have to set myself up there.

22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Loss of connectivity after reboot of modem

« on: August 29, 2022, 01:06:43 pm »

Ok, so I have found the solution after doing some tests.
I have installed 22.7 and restored my configuration. I was able to replicate the behavior.
This made me think, as this did not occur when I initially did a fresh 22.7 install with a restore of the configuration.
I compared an older 22.1 backup with this one, and what I found out, is that the “gateway” section was completely empty (I did not go into that section in the GUI after all, so quite strange?). I copied over the entry from the 22.1 backup, restored and tested. Now the problem is gone .

Perhaps this was just a coincidence, and not a bug as such.
Happy to report this as “solved” now.

Many thanks to the OPNsense team for their great and hard work

No. It looks to be happening since the 22.7 update. Will have to test with 22.1 and a backup to confirm.

I'm wonder if your issue is related to another problem I've seen.  When it happens again, go into SYSTEM:GATEWAYS:SINGLE.

Press Edit on your WAN, make NO changes, and then press save.

Thank you for the tip. I’ve just tried that, and this does not work (this fixed an issue I had while running pfSense before though and restoring from scratch using the xml approach).

When pulling the cable from the WAN interface I can replay the situation.
- After reconnecting, the gateway shows as online again.
- Restarting Unbound does not have any positive effect.
- I do reject leases from 192.168.100.1 on the wan interface to prevent the cable modem from temporarily handing out an own dhcp lease.
- I have also disabled gateway monitoring

22.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Loss of connectivity after reboot of modem

« on: August 26, 2022, 07:10:19 pm »

Hi!

I used the search function to find possible related topics, but was not able to find any.
I’m noticing quite a strange behaviour after updating to 22.7. Maybe others can guide me in the right direction of solving this.
Whenever I reboot my cable modem (in bridge mode), the firewall loses connectivity once the modem comes up again.
This wasn’t a problem before, so I am expecting this to possibly be software related. No cables are changed, neither the public WAN IP or the configuration.

The interfaces (WAN) and gateways are showing as ‘online’ and ‘green’.
After rebooting the firewall as well, everything is fine again.

I am looking for pointers on where to start troubleshooting to fix this (our cable modem is quirky every now and then and requires a reboot to be revived
