Hello,

Thanks first of all for the hard work put into 25.7 - it's much appreciated and it feels rock solid!

I have a clarifying question on moving the IPSec and OpenVPN options to plug-ins.
After a fresh install of 25.7 and restoring my 25.1 configuration, I see both options still visible in the VPN menu, and can even configure them if I want to. Both options are visible also in the plugins section. I thought they would be removed from the menu unless you install them as a plugin. Or is this part of a next step?

Hi,

I have just updated to 23.1.5, and found out that the dashboard is no longer populating the daemon names for udpbroadcastrelay. On my firewall, I have two configured: One for mDNS and one for SSDP.
They are listed under the Services panel on the dashboard.
I now notice that:

- The name for the SSDP daemon is blank
- The mDNS daemon is not at all visible (but is started and does work, since I can connect to devices over mdns)

See screenshots for some more details.
I expect this to be a bug in the latest release. Hopefully someone can jump on this at a convenient time.
Functionality is working, this is just a visual glitch.
@Franco let me know in case you need some further logs to troubleshoot :)

Hello all,

My ISP provides me with IPv6, which I have configured on the firewall (DHCPv6 on WAN and 'Track Interface' on the LAN interfaces I want to use IPv6 on). All works well.

I am using NAT redirect to forward all DNS requests to the firewall.
On the interfaces I have configured pass rules for DNS.
Under NAT settings, I have created two rules:
- one that intercepts all IPv4 traffic and forwards to 127.0.0.1
- one that does the same for IPv6 and forwards to ::1

What I do notice however is that some sites are displaying ads.
In an IPv4-only configuration, the same site is free of ads.

I am suspecting something in my configuration (my hunch is the NAT v6 rule..) is allowing some ads to bypass DNSBL.
Hopefully someone is able to think along in troubleshooting this.

The quick solution was to disable IPv6, although that's not my ultimate goal :)

When performing a clean install of OPNsense, selecting ZFS as partition layout I receive a message indicating the pool name is in use. It asks me to go ahead using the existing one (zroot), but instead it refers to 'xzroot'. I want to clean out the whole partition table and start from scratch (basically formatting as if it was a new disk).

Is there any way I can do this during the installation process?

Hi!

I used the search function to find possible related topics, but was not able to find any.
I'm noticing quite a strange behaviour after updating to 22.7. Maybe others can guide me in the right direction of solving this.
Whenever I reboot my cable modem (in bridge mode), the firewall loses connectivity once the modem comes up again.
This wasn't a problem before, so I am expecting this to possibly be software related. No cables are changed, neither the public WAN IP or the configuration.

The interfaces (WAN) and gateways are showing as 'online' and 'green'.
After rebooting the firewall as well, everything is fine again.

I am looking for pointers on where to start troubleshooting to fix this (our cable modem is quirky every now and then and requires a reboot to be revived :))
