Last post by ohlalayeah - Today at 06:38:11 AMQuote from: meyergru on October 08, 2026, 06:56:12 PMGenerally, there are usually one of these problems (not all with all DHCP servers, but hey):
1. With some servers (at least ISC), the creation of a static reservation does not get active unless the service is restarted.
2. Some servers (also ISC), you should not have static reservations within dynamic ranges.
3. When you let a client get a dynamic reservation and convert it to a static one, the dynamic reservation is not deleted, such that a reboot still gives the old IP. You have to manually clean the dynamic reservation from the lease file (and restart the service to recognize that fact).
4. With newer services, a DUID ist being used instead of a MAC (unless you change that setting) - which may give the impression that static reservations (for the MAC) do not work.
That being said, I know that is not an exact answer, just because I happen to use Kea and not DNSmasq.
right. the DUID seems to be confusing the handshaking between opnsense and some devices. Should I stop using DNSmasq and move to Kea?

Last post by vimage22 - Today at 12:28:12 AMRight, so i meant two things. Thanks for calling me out on this. One, a 'minor' upgrade went without one issue (26.7.5 to 26.7.6). Two, what I consider an major upgrade, from a much older version (from 24.x ?) on a different system, also was completed successfully. In either case, whether minor or major, just trying to confirm upgrade process is impressive.

General Discussion / Virtual IP/NAT/Virtual Machine
Last post by dsnyc - Today at 12:20:29 AMI am running OPNsense on a physical appliance. My HYPER-V Server NIC connect to the OPNsense firewall. Running on HYPER-V is 1 virtual machine also running OPNSense. I need to assign a static WAN IP to the WAN interface of the OPNsense virtual machine. I cannot figure out how to get this working. I have setup Virtual IP and NAT and firewall rules, but cannot reach the WAN IP of the OPNsense virtual machine.

Last post by OPNenthu - Today at 12:09:51 AMMaybe my question could be misinterpreted as lack of appreciation so I want to clarify that is not the case. I thought you were implying an older version as your starting point and maybe had a typo. That's all.
I agree, smooth bi-weekly updates are much appreciated and not to be taken for granted :)

General Discussion / DNS over tls when running two...
Last post by DEC740airp414user - Today at 12:01:14 AMI subscribe to nextdns and controld
I've been using controld as my only dns over tls server. Well today their service was down for about an hour. It had been a Long time since I enabled two servers. Today I enabled both services I subscribed too.
I then logged into the nextdns website, and every sec it said I was using their service then it kept going to red saying I was not
Can anyone explain how dns over tls works when you have two servers added?

Last post by vimage22 - October 11, 2026, 11:43:10 PMAnd BTW. the point of this post is to confirm that an upgrade is so complete, and it covers all edge cases and creates a stable, reliable platform for x number of users. Where x = ??

Last post by vimage22 - October 11, 2026, 11:36:45 PMI meant from:
OPNsense 26.7.5 released
to:
OPNsense 26.7.6 released
Worked perfectly.
and the reference to a much older version was from 24.x.x.
does this answer question?
