No, that commit relates to this: https://github.com/opnsense/core/pull/10909

after upgrading to 26.7.5 the error has gone away

The 'apcupsd' package was re-installed when upgrading to 26.7. I expect this is what fixed your problem.

26.7 Series / Alias file bluk update changin...

Last post by RobLatour - Today at 12:04:38 AM

In preparation for a move from an IPv4 only setup to an IPv4 & IPv6 setup, from what I read, it appears it would be a good idea to change all my device aliases from being Host (IPv4 based) to MAC Id based.

The majority of my firewall rules use Aliases, so I'm thinking if I do this and switch the scope of those rules from IPv4 to IPv4+IPv6 then all those rules will apply nicely to both IPv4 and IPv6.

So to get this done, I have downloaded:
- the Alias's json extract, and
- the DNSMASQ DNS & DHCP - Host extract .csv file.

My plan, unless there is already a script out there (hence in part the reason for this post) is to write a script that will create a file I can import (upload) into the Aliases list which contains for all devices aliases a replacement entry that uses:
- an Alias Type of 'mac' instead of 'host' and
- in content replaces the existing IPv4 address(es) with their matching hw_address (mac) from the DNSMASQ DNS & DHCP - Host extract .csv file.

So my questions are:
1. Will this work?
2. Is there already an existing script for this?

[/usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf]

Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Re: Squid Proxy Transparent + ...

Hi,

i dont know why those old problems are not solved years later ...
anyway.

My OpenVPN Interface cant be selected at the GUI to be a listening Interface at Squid. (newest Version, everything updated)
But it seems like i need to restart the Squid service everytime i added a acl entry.
So instead of going to the cli each time to add the line

Code Select Expand

http_port 10.8.0.1:3128to /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf and then do a

/usr/local/sbin/squid -k reconfigure

manually, i now added just once a file /usr/local/etc/squid/pre-auth/10-openvpn.conf and added just one line:

http_port 10.8.0.1:3128

Seems like whenever the service is restarted now by the gui and its rebuilding its config this file is recognized and my openvpn interface is now listening all the time no matter if the service is restarted from the gui.
Just keep in mind that when you reboot the whole opnsense it seems like squid does not rebuild the config so the interface is missing again and the service need to be restarted from the gui once after reboot to make openvpn interface work again.

But as the opnsense will be restarted not that often while the service is restarted often and i do not need the cli anyway now, its the best workaround for me.

Can anybody push the devs to add opensense interfaces at the gui? ;)

It`s interesting

So presumably BubbleUPnp itself blocks the access.

And this happens only, if the iPhone is connected to the same wifi as BubbleUPnp?

So they are in the same subnet?

Yes, same subnet. BubbleUpnP server is connected via LAN (opt1).

Yes, Bubble is blocking, because it thinks I'm coming outside network, but I'm not.

Something between WLAN <-> LAN makes it think it is another network.

Approaching Bubble from other LAN machines is all OK. Also iPhone when I connect via another AP.

The snapshot is a filesystem operation, so no,, it is not expected to add or reduce booting times.
There could be something causing it but it is unlikely to be related to the new snapshot.

One reaches its configuration page by 192.168.1.xxx:58050
I can reach this page from my desktop, laptop or iPhone, when later is connected to random AP in my house. Only when it is connected to Opnsense box Wifi (WLAN which is bridged to lan together with other Ethernet connections opt1, opt2....) I can not reach this page. It blocks me and says external connection not allowed. But obviously I have 192.168.1.y IP on my iPhone.

That sounds more like playing around with these options is needed : https://bubblesoftapps.com/bubbleupnpserver2/docs/config_network_and_security.html

Can you simply ping/traceroute the IP Address when connected via OPNsense WLAN ?

This was really worth to mention.

Seems strange to get this massage then.

26.7 Series / Should Snapshots / ZFS feel lo...

Last post by BigFreddy - October 04, 2026, 10:02:13 PM

Hi,

I recently noticed that adding a new snapshot and activating it so that it becomes active after a reboot, it feels like the reboot process is taking at least another minute or so to fully boot, I didn't exactly count but it felt longer. Is this expected to happen as in the reboot taking longer and also what is happening during the reboot when someone adds and activates a new snapshot?

Thanks,
BigFreddy
