26.1, 26,4 Series / Re: picky DHCP on WAN
Last post by TheSHAD0W - Today at 05:16:07 PM
Quote from: dseven on June 16, 2026, 10:03:49 AMDHCP lease renewal is normally (per standard) attempted when half of the lease time remains. That's very well established, and generally stable.

I haven't been seeing opnsense do that though. It seems to wait until the 85% mark before attempting renewal.

Quote from: dseven on June 16, 2026, 10:03:49 AMThere was a similar-ish sounding case recently, where the OP was convinced that DHCP wasn't doing what it's supposed to, but it actually turned out to be an issue with the ISP's hardware upstream: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=51994.0

Thanks for the reference. I'm pretty sure my ISP's hardware *is* an issue, yes. Thing is, as I said, other devices and OSes are able to do a much better job at connecting and keeping the lease up, and there's no reason for opnsense to be more fragile.

Thanks Franco! I'm still using os-isc-dhcp.

I was having the same issue, and for whatever reason I had to create a NAT rule to get things working on the WAN side. I didn't even have it auto create another firewall rule, so I know it wasn't just that.

Careful with installing a policy for 0.0.0.0/0, you'll 100% lock yourself out.

Only use that without a policy in a route based tunnel.

Hi, this one is expected when you have os-isc-dhcp installed:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "OPNsense\Base\Menu\MenuContainer" not found in /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/DHCPv4/Menu/Menu.php:34
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/library/OPNsense/Autoload/Loader.php(49): require_once()

#2 /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/script/run_migrations.php(64): ReflectionClass->__construct('OPNsense\\DHCPv4...')
#3 {main}
  thrown in /usr/local/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/DHCPv4/Menu/Menu.php on line 34

The core code is updated later in this update as well which removes the error.


Cheers,

While updating, a fatal error message flashed by. The good news is that the system seems to run fine. I have attached the output of opnsense-update -g and -G

Oh, and btw what is this easyrsa weak encryption stuff about?

Right. Is there any system on earth that doesn't run 'other daemons or processes' than ARC? :D
Anyway, from the graphs, yes I can see that ARC tops out once it gets to 1GB free, so it is behaving as documented.

Would you mind opening a feature request so we can look at how this would work technically? https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/new?template=feature_request.md

At the moment it's unclear how this would work in practice but we can certainly try to implement it once 26.7 is out.


Cheers,
Franco

while you're technically right :)

the thing is I imported the firewall settings from an older "silbling" OPNsense where these settings worked (let traffic pass)

so the settings that worked before stopped working silently (was a hell to figure out the reason). Don't think that's how it should be (esp. if you use these options for what they are intended to do)

You probably should use Traffic Shaper:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/shaping.html#introduction

The settings you are changing don't necessarily do what you would expect:
