Zenarmor (Sensei) / Re: Zenarmor and private Relay
Last post by sy - Today at 07:06:16 AMHi,
I'm not entirely sure, but when iCloud Private Relay is blocked, Safari most likely tries to reach the website through a it, which could be causing the higher latency compared to other browsers.

25.7, 25.10 Series / clarification of snapshots
Last post by tessus - Today at 05:38:16 AMI've been using snapshots on Proxmox forever and I have been doing the same on other ZFS systems as well. I have read through the OPNsense snapshot documentation and a few things make no sense to me and I kindly ask you to clarify the situation for me.
When I installed OPNsense on new HW I used ZFS this time around and during the installation a "default" snapshot was created and has been used since.
So the documentation states that if I create a snapshot and make it active, it will be used on next boot (basically does a rollback to the time of the snapshot creation). But my "default" snapshot was created in September last year and when I reboot, it is not rolled back to September, but everything since then has been persisted and it is as if there is no snapshot at all.
So my understanding of snapshots is this: A snapshot is exactly what its name suggests - a snapshot at any point in time. When I rollback to the snapshot it starts at the time the snapshot was created.
In Proxmox I run a VM and by default there are no snapshots. Then I can create snapshots at any point in time and roll back to exactly that point. And I can go back to that point in time multiple times.
But here in OPNsense it persists data. My problem of understanding is why and when will a snapshot in OPNsense start to persist data? When I make it active for the first time? If so, this means I cannot use (rollback to) a snapshot more than once. e.g. how do I rollback to Sept. 2025 when the "default" snapshot was created?
Somehow there is a disconnect I cannot reconcile.
It would all make sense to me, if there was a "rollback" button for the active snapshot. Or is the "Activate" button the rollback button? So even though the "default" snapshot is currently active, I would have to activate it again to rollback to Sept. 2025?

General Discussion / Re: Install problem on NVMe (n...
Last post by Jwidess - Today at 05:17:03 AMLooking around a bit, it seems like multiple people have reported that these cheap SP drives report static temperatures. It must be a bad implementation of SMART reporting on their end, as it seems like even the low-end Phison E21T, E27T, etc., controllers have "Built-in internal thermal sensor"

Last post by OPNenthu - Today at 04:51:37 AMQuote from: pfry on Today at 04:43:37 AMInteresting, thanks. I'll have to do some reading at some point, as hostwatch's criteria for a "duplicate" are not entirely clear to meSorry, it wasn't a response to your post. I had posted a report of the issue and some logs after I ran into it, but it ended up being duplicate of what's already reported in GH. I decided to remove my noise.

Last post by tessus - Today at 04:50:26 AMYep, my thoughts exactly (using GH to discuss). And, btw, I am not going to be angry, if a PR is not merged. I just feel more comfortable discussing features and code on GH, since it's a lot easier to reference code.
You know what, I'll open a PR and let's go from there.

Last post by pfry - Today at 04:43:37 AMInteresting, thanks. I'll have to do some reading at some point, as hostwatch's criteria for a "duplicate" are not entirely clear to me. Apparently it does not monitor (third-party) ARP traffic passing through the device (on the bridges), as I have one device that will trigger the ARP proxy and receive multiple replies. (It runs Linux, which is apparently immune to the ARP proxy, so I don't use static entries on it. Something else I've been meaning to look into. One of these days.)
