What does traffic reporting and neighbor discovery has to do with DNS

PTR queries.

I've just enabled Neighbour Discovery on my firewall but there aren't any PTR queries occurring. When this feature was first delivered I'm sure it was generating PTR queries.

If you open Traffic Reporting and click on the 'Top Talkers' tab you will see the list if hosts and their DNS names, assuming they could be resolved.

26.7 Series / Re: Updated - first impression...

Thanks for your feedback... the people nagging there's excessive padding everywhere are awfully quiet at the moment. To some degree it's funny trying to cater to this part of the user base and seeing a bit of backlash for it.

We can add padding, make it bigger, or we can leave it to acclimate. I'm unsure yet with the mixed signals.

But there's one fact of life here that the dashboard needs to be reorganized by people using widgets that are changed in design and people may just not like that about it. I'm keeping mental notes on the situation.

You're right. Doesn't change the fact that everyone including 26.7 would be affected either way by it unless they did a clean reinstall.

That's fair. I'm not a designer, however, so apologies if I can't be more specific..


Using the opnsense theme for the sake of this, which I assume to be the default, and which I'd assume to be updated alongside changes like this (although it's not really any different in advance, rebellion and the mentioned cicada).

I'd think it's immediately obvious, but the widget is an entirely different style.
Every other widget has more spacing between elements in a very consistent logical fashion. Even widgets that do contain colors, the spacing and the shape help relax it.

The new service widget is just one big boxy block of color that looks out of place among the more elegant design of everything else (minus maybe the interfaced widget, but I fixed it in the dashboard editor just now by increasing the size once and then reducing it again, which hides the port information on narrower sizes correctly - EDIT: well, maybe not, a reload breaks it again).

The design and ease of use in the dashboard was something I always appreciated with opnsense (I have to deal with a large checkmk installation for work, I know bad dashboard design ;)).

Where are the logs of Unbound crashing and is it a segfault or is it still running but not processing requests or is it exiting? I must be getting old.

It changes the direct driver reset calls to mimmic the way down/up works in practice. It also adds debug output to see which reset is the one that causes the intermittent issues during normal operation where one doesn't directly force the error (e.g. when you have a eee_control sysctl set and hit apply for tunables it can influence the driver directly, or how the driver otherwise reacts to link changes initiated by a connected switch for example).

Allegedly this was fixed in late 15.1 RC cycle: https://github.com/opnsense/src/commit/56e59980b67

But the fix affects loader.efi, so it's not actually effective until the bootloader gets updated in ESP: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.1R/upgrading/#upgrade-loader-uefi

That's not something that happens as part of the OPNsense upgrade (should it?).

Could also be some sort of browser plugin or anti-virus interfering.

Without more debug output this won't resolve easily so let's try this when it's not working:

# fetch -vv https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/snapshots/latest/data.pkg
# curl -o data.pkg -vv https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/snapshots/latest/data.pkg
