Just updated from 26.7.1 to 26.7.2 then 26.7.2_2 - and now I'm getting a fingerprint error when checking for updates using default mirror - Anyone else ??

Quick update - after trying again 5 minutes later - it works again.  Issue seems sporadic

Just updated my production 26.1.11 instance to 26.7 with ZenArmor - and everything looks great!  Congrats on the new release . . .

Quick question, I don't use the ZA Cloud Agent - which shows up RED on my dashboard - is there a way to get rid of that eyesore ?  The dashboard widget doesn't seem to allow hiding of individual services on the GUI ?  Maybe a future feature, offer the ability to toggle what services show on the dashboard . . .

Thx and once again, great release!

Not sure if this is a bug, but the dashboard widget for Dynamic DNS is showing an incorrect timestamp of 01/01/1970 - although it appears to be updating the DNS entry ?!?

Greetings - just noticed on my 26.1.2 updated virtual instance - seeing flatlines on all internal interfaces in the Reporting > Traffic menu
When I show WAN traffic, it works ?!?  Prior to upgrading from 25.7 and changing to new rules, this was working ??

Netflow cache not showing data (see attached pic)- I tried repairing then resetting the netflow data - no change

YES - I'm running Zenarmor - and when I turn it off - the data seems to flow again (as opposed to last time this happened it didn't help) ?!?

Similar issue as reported in this post:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=45608.msg228098

Any hints what can be done short of uninstalling Zenarmor?

I'm tempted to perform a fresh install and import my config file and take my chances . . . This instance has been updated since I think 23.1 version ?!?

Thx in advance -

Just wondering about Crowdstrike updates - do we have to wait until the plugin maintainer updates the plugin or is there another way?

BTW - Updated to rules(New) and all is well ;-)

Just wanted to report another successful upgrade from GUI to 26.1_4 from 25.7.11_9 on a home lab Proxmox VM instance . . . I decided to keep ISC DHCP for now, but not sure about converting to new ruleset GUI (Tried in a test instance with simple install and all worked well)

My rules are not very complex, although I have multiple VLANs and setup Firehole many moons ago as floating rules - so worried about breakage.

Should I wait a bit or take the plunge with new rules ??  Fun thing, with snapshots and VM backups - can always revert ;-)

Great update!  Many Thanks . . . and congrats!

Happy belated New Year - and Happy Friday on top!  Firstly, congrats on 26.1 !  Looking good . . .

Question about upgrading from OPNsense 25.7.11_9-amd64 - I have a virtual instance running under Proxmox - quite smoothly I might add for some time.  Took me a while to configure multiple VLANs, Zenarmor, Unbound, Netbird and ISC DHCP that everything works, but once all set up - has been very stable (even after multiple upgrades over the last 16 months)

I'm a bit nervous about the ISC DHCP changeover to DNSMasq - not just because of many static leases (saw Network Guy article which I've tested on a test instance - worked well)

My question is, for a relatively small HomeLab environment - Should I just upgrade to 26.1 and keep ISC DHCP as a plugin??  Any downsides to keeping ISC moving forward?

If I do choose to change to DNSMasq, should I do it BEFORE or AFTER the 26.1 upgrade ?!?

The old saying of "Don't touch a running system" always comes to mind in this scenario :-)

Thanks in advance and once again, Congrats on the new release!

I'd like to get netbird running on my 25.7 box - but the plugin is not in the community repo - after some research, I found it here: https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/tree/master but not sure how to get it installed ?!?

Any tips would be welcome!

Quick question - if I have 4 different VLANs and ISC DHCP currently configured and working in 25.1 - save a backup of the config - then install a fresh instance of 25.7 and import the 25.1 config - what happens with the ISC DHCP services ?? Do they get automatically translated into DNSMasq DHCP ? Or should the backup be imported without DHCP and manually configure DNSMasq?

Thx in advance!

If I manually start the ddclient from the console, seems to work fine:  ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet

Under general settings I have the interval set to default 300 seconds - but there are no automatic updates being performed - nothing in the logs except the manual updates ?!?

25.7 is looking good!  Out of curiosity, when upgrading an existing 25.1.11 instance. I see there is no option to automatically convert to Kea DHCP - what is the best way top migrate to Kea ?  Or on the flip side, how can we still use the ISC DHCP moving forward ??

Thx in advance and Happy Monday on top!

Since latest updates, my reporting database stops every night and I have to manually start it again - can not find any errors in the logs to help identify the issue.  Up until the 2.01 update, everything worked as expected ?!?  Anyone else?

I have been successfully running my OPNSense box under Proxmox as a VM - all works well with Zenarmor - but once a week I perform a PBS backup of the VM (using snapshot mode) - and every time the Zenarmor reporting database seems to stop after the backup and needs to be manually restarted ??  Naturally I can schedule a fresh reboot of the VM after the backup, but that seems harsh . . . not sure if there's a way to simply restart Zenarmor or just the reporting database using cron or something ?? 

Any tips welcome!

Not sure these are related - just trying to understand the console output showing netmap_transit messages (see first screenshot) and the lack of data in netflow cache (see screenshot #2) showing ksocket_netflow_vtnetX for various node devices - yet showing no pkts or data ?!?

I've searched around but not found any decent references - any hints welcome!

Just wondering - is there a big difference between a fresh install with recover from previous config backup - versus using option 4 in the console which says "Reset to factory defaults" ??

Thanks in advance -

After update from 24.7.12_4 to 25.1 - I noticed that every time I hit the widget edit/expand button on the dashboard (top right corner) of a widget - I get a new tab in my browser ?? Tested with Chrome & Firefox - is this new?  I don't recall this behavior in 24.7 ?

Greetings, and congratulations on the 25.1 release - looking good!  Only thing I noticed so far after updating a 24.7.12_4 production VM - I noticed that the traffic graph on the dashboard shows a flatline for outbound traffic - inbound seems OK ?!?  Same under Reporting -> Traffic (see attached screenshots)

Any hints ?

Quick question, after new fresh install - I noticed I can't edit the services widget in dashboard to remove the DHCPv6 service which I don't use . . . Is there any trick ??

Cheers and Happy 2025!

Greetings to all!  24.7.1 looking good - but since latest update I noticed that the CPU dashboard widget shows the interrupts as flatline (see attached) - this was not the case before - everything else seems OK ?!?

Anyone else?

Just went to opnsense.org and it says 24.10 ?  Typo or did I miss something??  :o

Great work - have upgraded 3 devices already . . . !!
