24.7 Production Series / KEA vs ISC dhcp

« on: August 29, 2024, 12:44:34 am »

I am on latest 24.7 and have tried switching to KEA dhcp (I only use ipv4 on my system) but have found that a number of clients do not resolve to their hostname using KEA so I went back to ISC.

Is this a known limitation for KEA dhcp at the moment?

I also remember reading a release note for opnsense 24.7 relating to ISC dhcp and static dhcp reservations - something about having to restart a service after changing/adding reservations. At the moment I need to restart opnsense for these new reservations to apply but there must be a way to do this without having to restart?

24.1 Legacy Series / Alternative to using a reverse proxy and port forwarding

« on: June 11, 2024, 02:10:59 am »

Hello,

This is my first post/question and I am new to opnsense so please go easy :-)

Very happy with opnsense by the way!

I have just rebuild my home network using opnsense on a mini-pc. All working well (so far) and I have more or less setup my network in the same way as my previous setup using asus router.

For a few key services such as home assistant (that I need to work both in the lan and over the wan when away from home), I use swag + reverse proxy in a docker with a wildcard ssl cert linked to my duckdns DDNS domain. It all works fine but I need to open and port forward 443 to my server that is hosting these services.

I wanted to get some advice on whether this setup is a good idea (security v. ease of use) or if there are other more secure configurations that I should look into now that I have opnsense.

Thanks!
