Aaahhh... I didn't check for an update... :-D

Updated to 25.1.4_1 and now everything works as expected. Thanks for the hint!

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to OPNsense 25.1.4 and since then then Firewall Live view Logs are empty:



Plainview still shows log records:



I already rebooted but it didn't help, too. Is this a known bug or did I miss some configuration?

Cheers

Sorry, wrong forum...

Actually, no, I don't need it (anymore). My other tunings were successfully and I gained much more performance.

Anyhow, I wanted to post it and ask if anyone have an idea what the reason could be of this strange behaviour.

From my point of view, I don't have an issue with it at the moment.

I actually think so, too... But I can reproduce it every time 100%...

As soon as I set net.isr.maxthreads to "-1" or higher than "1" the issue occurs (Nothing else changed, just this setting!).

The tuneables are available on my system:

sysctl -a | grep net.isr
net.isr.numthreads: 1
net.isr.maxprot: 16
net.isr.defaultqlimit: 256
net.isr.maxqlimit: 10240
net.isr.bindthreads: 1
net.isr.maxthreads: 1
net.isr.dispatch: direct


Also weird is, that it seems that curl is trying to connect to an IPv6 address after the attempt to IPv4:

*   Trying 147.28.184.43:80...
*   Trying [2604:1380:4091:a001::50:2]:80...
* Immediate connect fail for 2604:1380:4091:a001::50:2: No route to host


I currently really have no clue and I'm totally confused...

Hi all,

I'm using OPNsense 23.1_6-amd64 and my hardware is an IPU405 system( https://www.ipu-system.de/produkte/ipu450.html).

Technical specs:


  • CPU: Intel Core i3-5005U Broadwell-U Dual Core (4 Threads) 2,0 GHz, 15W TDP
  • Cache: 64 KByte L1 Instruction, 64 KByte L1 Data, 512 KByte L2, 3 MByte L3
  • Features: AES-NI, Hyper-Threading, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, Enhanced Intel
  • SpeedStep Technology (EIST), Intel 64, XD bit, Intel VT-x, Intel VT-d, Smart Cache
  • 4 x 10/100/1000 MBit/s Intel i211-AT

I now tried to configure some tuneables as described here --> https://docs.opnsense.org/troubleshooting/performance.html

When configuring net.isr.maxthreads to

net.isr.maxthreads = 1

everythings work fine. When setting it to any other value than "1", e.g. to "-1" or higher than "1" I encounter a strange issue on the firewall host itself.

In the GUI, when checking the firmware status I never get a response from the remote server. On the SSH console on the firewall I tried curl to connect to http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/ and it shows the following response:

curl -vv http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/
*   Trying 147.28.184.43:80...
*   Trying [2604:1380:4091:a001::50:2]:80...
* Immediate connect fail for 2604:1380:4091:a001::50:2: No route to host


Sometimes I get a correct response, but almost 9 of 10 times the result is like above.

As soon as I set the value of net.isr.maxthreads back to "1" it works again (of course, reboot required):

curl -vv http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/
*   Trying 147.28.184.43:80...
* Connected to pkg.FreeBSD.org (147.28.184.43) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: pkg.FreeBSD.org
> User-Agent: curl/7.87.0
> Accept: */*


The clients in the local network don't have any issues, even with net.isr.maxthreads  not equal to "1", it seems only the firewall host itself is affected.

Does anyone has an idea, what the reason could be?
