Ok, fixed it.  Stupid error / typo on IP address... Thanks for the assist @franco!

The entire market is trending towards online subscriptions. Software subscriptions (Windows in on the war path to a Windows subscription model), gaming (Geforce Now), and soon hardware.  Our kids will have to rent CPU cores, Memory, GPUs, etc... if someone (cough *STEAM*) doesn't step in.

Game development is also going down the proverbial "cooperate greed" toilet.  I don't believe lack of graphics and HDD space optimizations are solely fueled laziness but part of a *wink *wink towards hardware developers such as Nvidia to drive up high end component demand and reliance on scaling and frame gen.  Helldivers 2 just released a beta version that decreases HDD space by almost 1/3rd, from 130ish to 30ish GBs. 

It's all a racket and I'm slowly turning into the old grumpy guy complaining about the good'ole days!

Here are my firewall and outbound rules.

I don't have "static" checked because I have multiple users playing at a time but if I click static, I can get "Moderate NAT" for most gaming services.

I added port 5353 (differs from the youtube tutorial) but that didn't work either.

Try the plugin at 1.8 via 25.7.9.

Still not working.

Here are my UPNP settings (took out IP address).

Windows set to "Private Network" and discovery is turned on.  No AV installed.  Do I need to configure the Firewall rules?

Will do, thanks!

I've been trying to troubleshoot this for almost a week and cant seem to figure out what is wrong.  I enabled UPNP earlier this year it worked fine but lately I've been getting STRICT NAT warnings from STEAM games.

The UPNP service shows no active connections.

I initially set it up using this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5EJYVnpmlM&t=193s


I've tried reinstalling the UPNP (v 1.7) and miniupnpd (v 2.3.9_1,1)

I've read and tried all of the following:

Did one of the updates break UPNP?  Or am I missing something?

My OPNSENSE PC doesn't go through a router but is connected through a network switch.

Ok, got UPnP working on both computers but can't join a game on Destiny 2 on the same network (two different accounts).

I used this guide to setup:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5EJYVnpmlM&t=600s

Didn't work.

I've seen a few posts on getting Destiny 2 to work on the same network but nothing worked for me. 

When you cloned the original rules does that mean there are now two rules for the same port but two different devices? I assume on WAN inbound? That doesn't work. You can only have one destination device for each port.

Yes. 

Begs the question, how do I enable port fwd'ing for multiple devices?  Should I just use the UPnP plugin?

[Allow Edge Traversal]

Background: Haven't messed with the configuration for over a year.  I setup port forwarding for steam ports for my desktop and it was working last I checked (over a year ago).  Again, I haven't messed with it since.


This week I cloned all the port forward rules to add a laptop.  My son was trying to connect with a friend but kept getting a connection error, so I checked to see if the ports were forwarding but alas, neither the laptop nor desktop are able to fwd any of the ports.


I've setup port forwarding rules in the Windows Firewall, enabled Allow Edge Traversal, I don't have antivirus (just Defender) on my Desktop and I have Avast on my laptop. 

I've checked and double checked all the port fwd rules, I have Reflection for port forwards Enabled and Automatic outbound NAT for Reflection Enabled.

The Interface is a LANBridge.

Tried a different USB and it worked.  The other drive must be buggared.

Keep getting error trying to install Opnsense on a new Alder Lake (intel 1265U) Firewall PC.

Downloaded the latest version (vga) and used Rufus to mount on USB.

Installing on a 58GB intel Optane drive.

How do I go about fixing these.

Sorry, no idea. I do not mess with Microsoft products talking to Microsoft, Apple products talking to Apple, etc. If I was concerned I would not be running Windows, plain and simple.

Keeping systems maintained and up to date is far more important from a security standpoint.

Kind regards

This issue for me is with the Firewall rule that re-directs all DNS queries to Opnsense. Microsoft doesn't like this for some reason. Again, I think it can be fixed / configured under System-> Trust -> Authorities / Certificates but I'm still reading up on how to set this up for Microsoft.

In the meantime, I manually set my DNS on my computer and disabled the Firewall rule.

You will need to refresh the client's DHCP lease, so it picks up the new DNS settings. Also check your DHCP configuration for explicitly specified DNS servers. If you disable Unbound, it cannot serve clients.

Ahh, yeah I figured.

I'm just using the cloudflare DNS servers over TLS but I have a firewall rule to route all DNS queries to the firewall.  I think this is what broke MS downloads / MS sites.

How do I go about fixing these.  I saw a thread about adding MS certs to the Authorities but it wasn't clear and I don't want to bugger anything up without first getting more info.

I disabled Unbound DNS and reconfigured OPNSENSE settings for the DNS server and nothing worked.  Had to re-enable Unbound DNS to get connection back.

So if I disable unboundDNS and disable the DNS over TLS, then manually put the DNS servers into System -> Settings -> General, I get not connection at all.

Did something get corrupted?
