General Discussion / UPNP again.....
August 24, 2025, 01:55:47 PM
Firstly i'm running my OPNsense on a N100 NUC, 8GB Ram and with 2.5Gb NICs and running OPNsense 25.7.2-amd64.

I know this gets asked alot, i've read multiple postings and made all the changes but i now need to ask the community (i'm sorry).

I get that UPnP is frowned upon but in truth i have 2 options:-

1. Enable UPnP or put the original ISP router in as it just worked.
2. Demand the kids and wife tell me every-time they buy new games or get rid of games so i can edit port forwarding rules etc.

I do get it which why important stuff is VLAN'd off without UPnP.

So the issues I find are this, the nintendo switch gets NAT type D (wired and wireless) and the wife's PC keeps getting strict playing destiny 2 ect and nothing shows in the UPnP status for these devices. The devices playing games all have static mappings on the DHCP (i'm using DNSMasq on opnsense).

I have tried different ACLs and outbound NAT rules but nothing makes a difference, oddly the XBOX and PS5 in the house seem fine and on the wifes pc if she closes steam and does a release renew then reopened steam it works fine.

I attach below some screen shots of config as is now in the hopes someone will save what little hair i have left.

Worked it out that option is taken as a 'given' set my prefix and set RA to managed and it seems to have kicked in

General Discussion / New to OPNsense, IDNet setup
May 20, 2025, 06:30:36 PM
So i have finally arrived after using PFsense for years!! I had issues with pfsense just refusing to use IPv4 (even specific IPv4 tests defaulted to IPv6!!) this caused a few website I use to stop working.

I have a FTTP package in the UK by IDNet (1Gbps symetric) i'm running it on a N100 with 8GB Ram and 4 x 2.5Gb I226-V NICs on a clean install of 25.1.7_2-amd64.

The connection is PPPoE for IPv4 and DHCPv6 on IPv6 but i'll be damned if i can get it working, i seem to be missing the "Use IPv4 connectivity" in the WAN config page.

I've set VLAN911 to the parent igc0 and then set that in the WAN assignment and igc1 to LAN but kinda lost in the interface, documentation says it should be there but it isn't.
