I just applied the 25.1.6 update, and the announcement widget not longer appears to work. It displays the message "Unable to contact information feed."

I just applied the 25.1.6 update, and the option to see Kea DHCPv4 leases seems to have disappeared.

I don't get this at all. I have an OPNsense machine at one location that plays the startup and shutdown sounds. I have an identical machine configured the same way at another location and no sound. Sound is enabled in the BIOS in both cases. No changes to settings make a difference. Executing commands from the shell? Still no sound. I even switched the machine (moving the disk). Still no sound.

What's going on? How do I fix this?

I have two identical OPNsense machines at two different locations.  Sound is enabled in the BIOS of both machines and the beep is enabled in both OPNsense configurations. One plays the beep on startup and shutdown. The other one doesn't. I cannot figure out why. I have confirmed that the speaker works in both machines, but just in case, I replaced the one in the silent machine. Same thing. Maybe some other failure on the mainboard is probably the issue.

It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work on one of the machines, but I'm curious.

Is there a timeframe for the availability of the Kea DHCPv6 server? I don't have an urgent need, but I am planning to get a toe in the IPv6 water soon, and this would help simplify things (I think).

I started using OPNsense a few months ago, and since it was a new installation, I went ahead and configured it to use the Kea DCHP server.

It appears that Unbound DNS will not populate local hostnames from the Kea reservations, which means I have to deal with everything on the network using IP addresses. I assume that either (a) I'm doing something wrong or (b) that option will be available in the future. If (a), what should I do? If (b), is there a timeframe to use for expectations?

I just installed OPNsense on a Lenovo m920q with a dual interface NIC, 32GB of memory, and an i5-8600T CPU. Network throughput to the 1Gb WAN is about 50% of what it was with the ASUS router it replaced. Since I assume I have lots of power and memory, I also assume there are settings which I may need to adjust.

Does anyone have advice about how to get things back up to close to normal? Thank you!
