26.1 Series / 26.1 Crashing
Last post by 5310H - Today at 04:13:07 PM
Over the last week, I've been receiving notifications about heavy CPU usage and memory. Yesterday, I noticed a crash report that I forwarded to development.  Things just stopped working. I had DNS issues where some of my devices were no longer able to connect.  Has anyone else experienced this?  So many things didn't work, I had to take it offline and revert to an old firewall running pfSense.  Considering trying to rollback to a previous version, is that at all an option?

thanks, I got no upgrade on existing machine.
You are saying if I
#1 reinstall opnsense on that existing machine, without snapshots,
#2 use backup to restore config,
#3 install ISC plug in,
#4 on reboot it will move settings from integrated ISC into plugin?
is that the correct order?

Is it a bad idea to use both the Null routes and blocking rules together?  As I understand it the routes are more reliable even if the f/w is offline or unavailable (such as in early boot) but the rules provide valuable logging.

Thanks for combining the tutorials.  This'll be my reference next time I clean up my ruleset for the modem access.

I think I might have used Raspberry Pi Imager the last time I wrote one of these to USB (25.x), I also use Ventoy for a lot of these things so I can't really remember what I did the last time I set up a new machine.

It's explained here in the documentation, we try to keep it up to date :)

What is the difference between "Sort order" and "Sequence" in the Rules [new]?
To me, both fields mean the same thing, i.e. how the firewall rules are currently processed one after the other.

Ruf einfach mal bei der Hotline an und lass dir ein Angebot geben. Es kann sein das die Info von Patrick zu VodafonKabel veraltet ist.

Most of the time it is either the USB stick itself or Windows messing with the flashed image/ISO.

Nope, I am quite sure these things are currently not implemented in FreeBSD at the moment. We're looking into improving support as divert becomes more popular on our end.
