General Discussion / I don't use IPsec, but the log says something else?

« on: April 08, 2024, 04:24:22 pm »

/usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: plugins_configure vpn (execute task : ipsec_configure_do(,wan))
/usr/local/etc/rc.linkup: plugins_configure ipsec (,lan)

I don't understand this. Is IPsec active as default on OPNsense?

I haven't configured it or even enabled it at all.

I have to flush the ARP table to get rid of the other external IP, but within an hour or so it's back. I blocked the second external IP in the firewall, both in WAN and LAN.. but it still shows up in ARP.

I contacted my ISP via their support chat and they confirmed that there were 2 different external IPs in use. 2 devices with different MAC addresses. But I only have one device connected, my OPNsense. The support chat person thought this was a bit odd. Later on in the chat, he told me that everything was fine and that I only had one IP assigned to my device. After he wrote that, I copied some of his former answers into the chat where he had confirmed that there were 2 different IPs and his response was that he had misunderstood the situation. This is weird. Why did he change his mind suddenly? Maybe I'm being surveilled, I thought.

However..

Can I create a static ARP table? I can't find a guide on how to do this.

And, if I turn off DHCP on my WAN and configure IP + gateway.. can this stop the not welcome IP from connecting to my ARP table?
