QUIC is still not implemented in the opnsense gui. The issue for quic implementation is locked.

Only thing we can do is wait or implement it ourselves and upstream it.

Okay this one is weird.

Unplugged every device on the switch and had packet loss from both servers to the OPNsense. I plugged my laptop with the usb nic into the switch and ran an iperf3 test.
No packet loss there. Same switch port configuration.

What could it be?😪

Yep that was it...
Found the device, a security camera...

Now theres some packet loss in the management network (vlan 2) to solve, I will look into that.
Thanks so far!

I have some news!
Did some tests with the usb network card and figured out that the packet loss happens when vlan 30 is mapped to the nic.

Since the USB nic quickly reached its limits (ping: sendto: No buffer space available), I removed it and was able to determine the same behavior with the built-in nic.
Sounds like a switch issue, I'll dig into tho and report back.

Thanks for help so far!

It doesn't only happen, when the OPNsense is the target.
The test happens in a local network from two devices which are directly connected to the switch, no routing happens.
If the OPNsense is unplugged from the switch, the packet loss immediately vanishes.
Disabled hardware acceleration and rebooted afterwards. Changed nothing.

I did replace the cables already. Didn't change anything.
I also don't understand in which aspect the OPNsense/NIC could negatively influence the traffic on the switch. I mean, the iperf devices were in the same vlan and same network. Thus routing doesn't happen.
I'm also not sure how much a different os could bring me forward, because I'd somehow have to replicate the network config.

I have a usb nic. Maybe I should try this one first?

Hi,

i did some iperf3 tests the last days and figured out, that packet loss appears in all networks, when the OPNSense MiniPC (i226-V) is connected to my Unifi Switch. The interesting this is, that iperf3 only shows packet loss in one direction.

The problem immediately vanishes, when I disconnect the OPNSense from the switch.
Connecting the switch to an unconfigured port on the OPNSense, doesn't cause the issues.

The two servers and notebooks I used for the test are in the same network & vlan.

What could cause this?
Thanks in advance!

It works now...

Hi,

i found out, that I cannot add multiple IP aliases for for the same ipv6-link-local address on different interfaces.
Message: "Address already assigned."

I think that something that should get implemented.

Wireguard with IPv6 configured also breaks RA.

2a02:XXXX:1d:5200::f:4 -> Wireguard Endpoint IP
2a02:XXXX:1d:5200::f:3 -> Wireguard Endpoint IP

I enabled the option. Now the RAs are correct, but Internet stiill does not work :/

If I remove the VirtualIP, it directly works again.

Hi Franco,

sorry for being uncertain.

I set the following address in virtualIP: 2a02:FFFF:1d:5200::e/64
I use it to reach the HAProxy on the OPNsense. It works.

However when I restart radvd after adding the VirtualIP, it gets announced to the clients in the 2a02:FFFF:1d:5200/64 subnet. That's the thing I'd like to prevent.

Heyy,

my virtual IP setting causes the in virtual IP configured IP to get advertised. That's a problem because the virtualIP I set isn't intended for that use.
In "Services: Router Advertisements" under the "Source Address" field, the only option is "Automatic". Not very helpful.

And help is appreciated!

Well Monit works great, except it didn't autostart too, and I found out why... I had a script in

Code Select Expand

/usr/local/etc/rc.syshook.d/start/ which paused a lot of stuff...


I added a configd action for the script & all services came up as expected.


Thanks for the help!

I can't even see in the logs that WireGuard trys to start. I'll look into Monit and report back.
