Hey, if you had success setting up the console on your SG-8860 can you please share how you did that?

Wow, I never had to pay attention to these details coming from Pfsense world.
THANK YOU!!!

Hello everyone, I need help with firewall rules that should be simple but...
I am trying to block one IP (laptop) on my network from accessing Internet so I created two rules:
Pass this IP to LAN net
Block this IP to LAN

As soon as I apply second rule, nobody in my network has access to internet, it just stops working until I restore a backup from the console.

List of rules is on the screenshot and the rule in question is circled (currently disabled).

I am switching from Pfsense so most likely it's a habit or something I am missing.

So in the system that I used previously I would indicate the domain in system settings and then every client joining locally could be pinged / accesseg by it's hostname. Somehow DNS resolver was aware of their names and they were automatically part of the domain. It didn't matter if those clients had static DHCP record or joining the pool of available IPs it just worked.

In OPNsense I tried to do the same. I have a couple homelab VMs and created static records for them. They are getting correct IPs assigned but their hosnames won't resolve when I try from another local PC. Looks like some services are not talking to each other at the OPNsense level.

Please let me know what am I missing here.

As I suspected, some services didn't talk. Looks like these features are not turned on by default. The solution was to go to:
Services -> UnboundDNS -> General

And trigger two check boxes:
Register DHCP Leases
Register DHCP Static Mappings
