I had to force shutdown my firewall to reboot after I lost connection during a storm. I'm running the firewall baremetal. Anyhow,  the system failed to boot and showed damaged tar files,  attempting repair, lasted forever. So I decided to clean install opnsense and restore from backup. I was able to restore the majority of opnsense config but not the add-ons for they required update to the newest opnsense version. 

TL;DR: The system now show updates are available but it requires 13.9MB more disk space. I have 899MB available. Where is the problem?

1. I restored UFS install up ZFS fresh install
2. I restored before I upgrade the system.
3. Is this a HDD problem. It is an nvme so I don't expect so.

I would like to setup NordVPN a gateway to route certain traffic from few clients on my network. I was able to get the gateway connection up and running. Official instructions dictates routing ALL traffic through VPN which is not what I want to do. I tried tagging packets and sending them over to the VPn gateway but devices did not receive an IP. Any suggestions how to approach this?

Dear all,
I am facing some overheating issues with my topton N5105 opnsense box. I would like to migrate to VM (proxmox) on another machine that has more power and actively cooled. How can move settings from one system to another? I tried config backup and restore and did not seem to have made any changes to the new installation VM instance.

I am noob at this. I have my network setup as ISP Arrris modem --> OPNsense router/firewall --> network switch --> APs on MESH. I have my network segregated into VLANs each distributed to their respective Wifi. Recently, I note transient internet connection drop outs intermittently on a particular Wifi/VLAN. I do not have stringent firewalls of any sort at least not on this VLAN. The problem happened simultaneously on two devices connected to the same troublesome Wifi, so I do not think this is a peripheral device issue. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this at the level of opnsense or switch. I appreciate some guidance.   

I have a TOPTON device with 4 ports. I followed this guide https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/lan_bridge.html to create a bridge interface close to the attached diagram. I noticed that I have errors out on the bridge interface and VLAN10. The physical interfaces OPT3 and OPT4 are enabled but unused at present. I tried to disable unused interfaces and it did not solve the issue. I attached a diagram for the interfaces and screenshot from my OPNSense instance. Shall I worry about these errors at all?

Thanks.

I am setting up a Topton 4-NIC box. I assigned defaults of one NIC for WAN and another for LAN. I have 2 unassigned ports (OPT2,OPT3). My LAN is a trunk port and has multiple VLANs. How can assign one of those VLANs to unused OPT interfaces? The reason I want this because my desktop has 2.5gb NIC to utilize the speed on my network. I have TL-SG3428X gigabit switch. My NAS is connected to SFP+ port. I plan to connect my LAN trunk to another SFP+ port on the switch, and utilize one of the OPT ports on OPNsense box for my desktop.

I recognize that I cannot create VLANs on bridged interfaces. Can create a bridge assigned to VLAN? (thinking loud here).

Thank you so much.

I have an N5105 mini machine that I intend to use with OPNSense without a hypervisor. I would like to set up another OPNSense instance on Proxmox as a backup HA. Is this doable? I learned from forums that interfaces has to have similar names for HA to work.

I currently have Arris S33 modem connected to a virtualized opnsense instance. My LAN is connected to a managed L2+ smart switch that carries out my VLANs. I initially thought to set up two virtualized instances but I dont have a physical router to hand over IP addresses to downstream opnsense instances. I do not plan to use my L2+ smart switch to handle DHCP.

I am open to suggestions.  Thank you.

I have OPNsense running on Proxmox. This VM has an assigned 80 gb storage setting on 250gb SSD. I suddenly had my drive full that the VM is no longer able to run. so I moved out some VMs to empty some space but this VM appears to consume over 200gb by itself on the proxmox side, but only 36% full on the VM side. I ran fsck -fy  / with output marking disk as "dirty". OPNsense self check marked file system fine. I can see on df -h one drive is consuming as such (see pic). tunfs TRIM is set to disable. I am unable to enable this because the disk is marked as dirty. Of note, VM is running on ext4 file system (not ZFS) and I have enabled the Discard option in HDD configuration on Proxmox side.

Appreciate help to approach this issue.

I setup OPNSENSE virtualized on proxmox desktop machine.  I use Intel I350 Quad Port by CISCO UCSC-PCIE-IRJ45 via bridge in proxmox. I have 1 port for WAN and 1 port for LAN (and carries all VLAN segments). I use managed switch by TPLink TL-SG108E between LAN and my Wifi AP. I exclusively use VLANs on my network and preserved LAN for management. I have over 1300 errors outs on firewall statistics.

How can I approach this issue? Thanks in advance.
