Since updating to 26.7.3_1, the Monit Status widget shows Object object instead of the service name.

Does Reporting: Health: Quality look similar to this? A constant ping to an internet IP will match the graph. I am convinced it is a Comcast issue. Many service calls, over the years, improved the internet connection, but never 100%. Services like Verizon never had these random drop-outs.
Time stamps from your CM will probably not match information from OPNsense. 1. Comcast sets the wrong time on the CM. 2. OPNsense is much more exact and comprehensive at reporting issues.

Edit: T3 and T4  time-out's should be from Comcast. In other words, nothing to do with OPNsense.

Thanks for the hint to the git issue.

The patch just released there is fixing the problem.

Thanks for the fast support

best regards

No, that's not being dumb at all.  It's not obvious and there isn't documentation at the moment either.

26.7 Series / PPPoE over an unassigned VLAN ...
Last post by downset - Today at 06:14:47 PM
Hello,

after upgrading OPNsense from 26.7.2_2 to 26.7.3, my PPPoE WAN connection stopped working completely. Restoring the Proxmox snapshot containing OPNsense 26.7.2_2 immediately restored the connection without any other configuration or network changes.

Environment

- OPNsense running as a virtual machine on Proxmox
- OPNsense 26.7.2_2: working
- OPNsense 26.7.3 or possibly 26.7.3_1: not working
- The exact hotfix revision is unfortunately unknown
- The WAN connection is passed to the VM through Proxmox bridge `vmbr0`
- The optical termination device is a Luleey 2.5G XPON Stick SFP ONU
- The stick is connected to a UniFi switch

Network topology

The connection is approximately:

Luleey XPON stick → UniFi switch → VLAN 10 → Proxmox vmbr0 → OPNsense VLAN 10 → PPPoE → WAN

VLAN 10 is both:

- the transport VLAN between the UniFi switch and OPNsense, and
- the VLAN required for the provider's PPPoE service.

Inside OPNsense, VLAN 10 is created on the interface connected to `vmbr0`. The PPPoE device uses this VLAN device as its link interface. The VLAN 10 interface itself is not assigned as a separate OPNsense interface; only the resulting PPPoE device is assigned as WAN.

A separate native VLAN is present on the switch port for access to the management interface of the XPON stick. This management VLAN remained unchanged and should not be involved in the PPPoE connection.

Actual behaviour with 26.7.3

After installing the update and rebooting:

- the PPPoE connection remained completely offline;
- no WAN connection was established;
- the VLAN 10 device was still used as an unassigned interface underneath the PPPoE device;
- additional reboots did not restore the connection.

No changes were made to the OPNsense configuration, Proxmox networking, UniFi switch configuration or XPON stick configuration.

Unfortunately, I did not save the PPP logs before restoring the snapshot because I needed to restore Internet access.


Rollback result

I restored the complete Proxmox snapshot containing OPNsense 26.7.2_2. The PPPoE WAN connection came back immediately without changing or rebooting the UniFi switch, XPON stick or any other part of the network.

This makes the issue appear specific to the update from 26.7.2_2 to 26.7.3.

The 26.7.3 changelog includes the interface-related change "resolve VLAN devices indirectly via interfaces_configure()". Could this affect PPPoE devices that use an otherwise unassigned VLAN device as their link interface?

best regards

Hover over the page title to unhide the toggle.  On a touch device you have to tap the title to unhide.

We hid it by default so that others don't complain about it being there all the time.

Hello. 26.7.3. I'm probably being extremely dumb but I do not see anything in regards to favourites. There is no star at the end of each menu item. Is there a manual switch that needs to be flipped to enable it?. Thanks in advance
