General Discussion / Re: OPNsense can't update.

Weird, but I fixed it.

I added 1.1.1.1 to Systems / Settings / General / DNS and the update ran perfectly. Prior, I had no DNS entries there, having removed them to see if Unbound was carrying the load.  It updated afterward.

To test if Unbound was working, I removed all dns sites other than my router:5353 ipconfig on windows pointed to my router.  Everything worked great for weeks like that. That made me assume Unbound was doing everything. The Adguard Home install instructions also said Unbound was doing all the work.

So, I will put my old DNS entries back on that page and let OPNsense figure out which DNS is in use at any given time. All I really care about is ad blocking.

Thanks for your help.

I don't understand what you are asking.

Use the SSH program on your desktop system to get a command line login on your OPNsense firewall, then enter the command "host one.one.one.one".

You know what a command line is?

Does that answer your question?

Mmmh, can you login to OPNsense and do a "host one.one.one.one" or something similar?

DNS, it's always DNS ;)

Unbound is doing my DNS, i believe. Adguard Home works. I tried it with Adguard Home disabled - it made no difference. Does that answer your question?

A click on the pkg.opnsense.org works fine.  But not from the updater.

It can't resolve any other sites related to mirrors, either.

I can't update OPNsense. It can't find the repository. Defaults are selected. It doesn't work if I change to any other download site either.

Here's the log

I just waited until I heard the familiar beep on reboot. Some minutes later, the webinterface was accessible again and it seems the upgrade went fine.

Will monitor my FWs behaviour but it seems to be OK.

Thank you, Franco. I'll stay with the downgraded pkg for now since it's stable on my box and the libs are compatible.
Once a pkg/curl fix for the HTTPS bug in issue #2191 is available, I'll switch back to the current pkg version again.
