In that case you are losing potential speed on many modern websites.

If you disable the firewall you also disable NAT, which with common consumer setups with a single possibly dynamic external IPv4 address also breaks all IPv4 Internet connectivity.

Please add some more detail. Are these three internal interfaces (1, 3, 4) configured as separate IP networks or are they joined in a bridge as a single LAN like common consumer routers?

What is the IP address of the laptop that cannot access the Internet? What is its default gateway, what is its DNS server? You can check on the laptop itself.

Kind regards,
Patrick

I have a single Wiitek 2.5g module, and so far it works OK and has less heat than the 10Gtek 10G copper modules I've been using. More testing as time goes, it is connecting my lab to a Moca 2.5 system. I also got a USB 3.2 adapter for my laptop and everything seems to be at 2.5g speeds.

I've ticked the option to disable FW, but that didn't change any, these devices are still not able to access internet, while the others are unmoved, browsing as usual.
What's very frustrating is that some are on the same LAN, 3 (Android) are accessing the internet, 1 (laptop) is not.
And the more frustration, the less I'm able to think.
And as I know myself, if I start "trying" around, I'm going to break my OPN for sure :(

I really need your light here, suggesting debug path and steps ..

If your GUA prefix is dynamic, my general advice is to additionally deploy ULAs and use these in internal DNS zones.

I was able to reproduce this on several new installs :

After waiting for a while, the upgrade completed just fine.

Because the installer predates the update?

Thank you, I hadn't noticed that. Also thanks for the link!

I tend to agree. This seems to be one of those features from the pre-fork era which hasn't been touched ever since.
Since this only is an issue if you link to OPNsense from a different website, this probably never bothered too many users.

Feel welcome to open an issue (or pull request) on GitHub.

@meyergru
I block QUIC totally by blocking all UDP traffic on ports 80 and 443.
