Last post by hharry - Today at 03:14:53 AM

LAB sand box test environment upgraded from 25.7.11 to 26.1_4-amd64, and now unable to view automatic rules in new firewall.

Under the old firewalls rules, can see all the automatic rules applied, i used the rules migration feature, and cannot view any of the automatic generated rules in the new firewall rules...

Howto view automatic generated rules in new firewall rules ?

26.1 Series / Schedule on new rules not work...

Last post by NitRoN68 - Today at 03:12:43 AM

Edit: see already reported. 

After moving rules from old to new interface the schedules attached to rules don't work.  Rules don't become inactive when outside of schedules.  I'm on 26.1-4

I use rules to control Internet on kids devices and caught em browsing YouTube outside of hours... Which lead me to investigate what broke and discovered this issue after upgrade.

I haven't updated just yet.  I do rely on these backups and I'm confused a bit reading all this.  Can someone clarify what's going on here?  So, each backup file isn't a full backup?  For example with a restore we'd need a full and a diff?  I clean up backup files on the Nextcloud side, want to make sure I understand this so I don't blow out a full backup and bork up my ability to restore if needed. 

Or am I misunderstanding and this just creates a full backup on ANY change?  Along with just a goofy naming convention.

If you are not already using ZFS then consider seriously a reinstallation to employ it, before other work.

I had bought a second machine to operate as backup, it has two nvme drive.  I may get it up and running first.  Switch to that one, see if I can install second drive into first one.

25.7, 25.10 Series / Automating DHCP static leases ...

Last post by aiwa00 - Today at 01:21:03 AM

I'm building a lab automation pipeline and need to provision OPNsense 25.7 unattended. My goal is to manage DHCP static mappings via an API. I've enabled the API and checked the official documentation, but I can't find a core endpoint for dhcpd static leases.
Is there a supported, API-driven method for managing DHCP static leases in the current version that I've missed? If not, is this functionality on the roadmap for the official API?

25.7, 25.10 Series / OpenVPN connection causes clie...

Last post by adv - Today at 12:21:33 AM

I just setup an OpenVPN instance on 25.7.11_2.  It connects and traffic via the tunnel seems fine with Windows Remote Desktop able to connect and function and surf the Internet from the remote computer.  But the local computer loses its Internet connection completely.  The Internet comes back as soon as I disconnect from the OpenVPN server.

I am new to this so can only guess at the cause and solution.  I guessed that it has something to do with the Internet traffic on the local computer being redirected through the tunnel but then I should get at least some response to web page clicks but I get NOTHING.  Now I am guessing that it might have something to do with DNS.  I tried toggling a few settings but nothing changed.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have three LANs so I thought I'd try one or two before changing the final one that has many more hosts on it.
That was unsuccessful because, even though in ISC DHCPv4 config I unchecked the box for those two LANs, ISC seemed to still be bound to port 67 on those LANs.

So I had to do all three at once and make sure ISC was really stopped.

That is as expected.

Then I noticed in the Kea error logs that the "Control Agent" is deprecated. So though I at first checked the box to turn it on in that page, I later went back and turned it off.

Only needed for HA setups! ;)

Early going, but so far so good. Hoping for a smooth update to v26.

+1 :)
