It sounds like there was an IP address conflict on your network. Could it be that the Shield was using an IP address that was simultaneously in use by another device on the network?

No way, every device in my network that is connected trough a network cable has a static ip between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.100. All the wifi clients are getting a ip address range between 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.200.

I have checked again and when i ping now to 192.168.1.10 (shield ip) there is no client connected on that ip at this moment.

I think i got the problem....

I have an Nvidia Shield at home which was set up with a static ip:
192.168.1.10 with a Subnet: 255.255.255.0 and with the gateway: 192.168.1.1.
The DNS server was statically set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

When I set the Nvidia shield to DHCP, nothing happened and the internet has been working for a few hours now.
I don't understand why this caused the problem. but I'm glad it's resolved.

I generally prefer to configure the vlan on ESXi and not in the VM.

Can you confirm you have the os-vmware (VMware tools) package installed in OPNsense?

Do you know why it's showing 0.0.0.0 as one of the VM's IP addresses?

What will be the difference off using a VLAN on ESXI instead of inside OPNsense?

Yes, i had installed the os-vmwarae pkg inside OPNSense

I really can tell you why there is a 0.0.0.0 ip address.

What actual hardware (NICs) do you have in this ESXi  server? Is there anything showing in the logs that may give a hint of what the problem might be?

There is nothing in the log, that is the first thing i checked.
I'm using a Intel nic with 4 Ethernet ports.

I really want to run OPNsense in an ESXI environment as I have a server running 24/7 here.But for some reason the connection keeps dropping out after a few minutes. After a restart of the VM everything works again but unfortunately after a few minutes no internet again.
I have some screenshots added, hopefully someone can help me on why the connection is disconnecting
I use T-Mobile home internet 1000MBIT on Vlan 300.
