26.1 Series / Re: RTSP proxy does not work a...
Last post by JGeek00 - January 30, 2026, 11:57:43 PM
It's not. It was originally developed by someone else but I ended up taking that code, applying some fixes and installing manually on my machine. It has been doing its job since then. After upgrading from 25.7.11 to 26.1 it still worked in terms of not crashing, but it wasn't doing it's job because it can no longer capture the requests that the tv box sends to the RTSP server. I never submitted the plugin to the plugins repo because I think the code quality is not good enough to be used by someone else (I'm not a python dev, I fixed it just enough for it to work), but it was doing its job for me. I started using it with OPNsense 24 and it never failed or crashed. And as far I know there's no "compatibility mode" for the firewall on 26.1 that would allow me to continue using the plugin. Also on that plugins list I see that igmp-proxy is no longer maintained (I also use it). I'm a bit concerned that some future update will include a breaking change that will cause also igmp-proxy to stop working.

26.1 Series / Re: 26.1 is out!!!

Quote from: OPNenthu on January 30, 2026, 05:42:54 PMUPDATE: to close the loop, I was able to bring the bridge interface down with 'nmcli conn down br0', but the inverse 'nmcli conn up br0' returned success and never actually brought it up.
I followed up with 'nmcli device up br0' and this timed out (failed).

I then used the GUI toggle switch for the parent interface (which was already up in 'ip a' but showed as down in the GUI) and it brought it back up.
However the same toggle switch does not bring the br0 interface down :P

So it's quite an inconsistent mess.  Probably either a Mint / Ubuntu bug, or my configuration is just too complex or I set it up incorrectly.
There are a couple more nmcli options I see mentioned in the man page : Maybe try those too ?

Another option is nmtui which might help.

And if you are in for an adventure you could try configuring networking via SystemD and remove NetworkManager completely like I did last year :)

Nothing to do.

Is that a new upstream bug?  It should reinstall here and our version does:

Anyway I'm glad you could solve it.  Upgrading with the wrong pkg version might have been devastating.

I think I found it.  Looks like a feature removal gone wrong:

# opnsense-patch https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/311184daa8
# /usr/local/etc/rc.filter_configure

It should bring back the required anchors.


Cheers,

German - Deutsch / Divert IPS
Last post by juergen2025 - January 30, 2026, 10:36:36 PM
Hallo zusammen,

ich beschäftige mich aktuell mit Suricata/IPS unter OPNsense 26.x und bin dabei über die Dokumentation zu Divert (IPS) in Kombination mit Rules [new] gestolpert.

Mir ist klar, dass es zwei Ansätze gibt: Netmap (IPS) als klassisches, globales IPS ohne zusätzliche Firewall-Regeln und Divert (IPS) mit selektiver Inspektion über ,,Divert-to"-Regeln.

Aktuell nutze ich weiterhin Netmap (IPS), da es für mein Setup stabil und unkompliziert funktioniert. Divert (IPS) wirkt auf mich dagegen deutlich komplexer. Ich bin in dem Thema kein Profi und würde daher gerne wissen, ob Divert primär für sehr granulare, regelbasierte Inspektion gedacht ist oder ob es darüber hinaus konzeptionelle Vorteile gegenüber Netmap gibt? Außerdem interessiert mich, ob Divert als neuer empfohlener Weg gilt oder eher eine Advanced-/Speziallösung ist?

Vielen Dank vorab für eure Einschätzungen!
