No worries :)

I think one of the developers needs to take a look at this, because if the things you have tested so far are _always_ the case then it's definitely related to DNSmasqd used by OPNsense sadly...

We had a nice discussion about that not too long ago in this topic : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=50301.msg256202#msg256202

Worth the read IMHO :)

Quote from: passeri on January 11, 2026, 10:28:30 PMYou are shaping the WAN-side speed? What was the preceding position, when using auto-negotiation?

I currently have shaping turned off. I tried shaping as a troubleshooting step to limit the speed to 1gb but nothing changed.

The intel x550 NICs will not auto negotiate to 2.5gbps. Which is programmed into the firmware. Manual selection is required. This is why I have a 2.5gb usb nic order so I can test if the NIC is at fault.

Quote from: meyergru on January 11, 2026, 09:30:42 AMDid you try RSS?

I thought I had already done that. Some of the tunable items were complete except net.inet.rss.enabled = 1. I did change that and rebooted. However, my results have not changed.

I do have a USB 3 2.5gb adapter coming today I'm going to tryout incase the NIC is causing something. I use 1gb versions of these adapters for work all the time so no harm buying another one.

As far as I know, MacOS handles .localdomain the same way as .local. This is reserved for mDNS and is answered via Multicast, not via a central DNS service.

You should not use any domains starting with local as DNS name in your network. Use home.arpa instead which is reserved for exactly that purpose.

25.7, 25.10 Series / MacOS and .localdomain after m...
Last post by blacksteel1288 - January 11, 2026, 09:09:44 PM
Hi all,

Looking for guidance on the migration from ISC to dnsmasq, on 25.7.10, in particular with the handling of the .localdomain for MacOS clients.

I followed the steps in the guide at https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/dnsmasq.html#dhcp-service to setup the new DHCP service on dnsmasq.

However, after disabling ISC and enabling dnsmasq, my MacOS clients were unable to connect/ping any host with the .localdomain suffix.  I could 'nslookup' the host correctly from MacOS, but ping or ssh could not find it.  This worked fine previously with ISC.

This is what I get with dnsmasq --

myuser@Mac ~ % ping myserver.localdomain
ping: cannot resolve myserver.localdomain: Unknown host
myuser@Mac ~ % nslookup myserver.localdomain
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: myserver.localdomain
Address: 192.168.1.130

Is there any easy way to have dnsmasq work the same way as ISC did for these local hosts, to put them on .localdomain, and have MacOS clients be able to find them?

I'd hoped that the section "ISC / KEA DHCP (legacy)" on the dnsmasq "General" page would help here, but I've tried all of those settings without any luck. 

I have several services internally pointing to the .localdomain suffix on some hosts, so ideally I want to keep that as the domain.

Im betrieblichen Kontext verstehe ich das, aber im privaten Kontext verlieren ich dann viel an Privatsphäre.

Quote from: OPNenthu on January 10, 2026, 11:33:30 PMP.S.: I don't want honorific titles, man :)  I'm just another user trying to help out.

LOL! I am sorry! I was brought up to Sir and Ma'am everyone, and then when I worked in the military, it just reinforced everything I learned when I was a child.

My Mom, being from a Russian background,  was very strict on loyalty, respect, and education, and my step- dad was a Marine and very strict on respect and discipline, so it was not an option growing up, so now as an adult, it's just second nature to me and I dont even notice until someone brings it to my attention.
Plus, ideologically, I find that respect is the playground everyone can play on, and it is lacking in the world. A lot of the world's problems stem from a lack of fundamental respect and care/love for one another. So I humbly apologise if I have offended you. I want to show people my gratitude by respecting them because, honestly, you don't have to help me, and there is no other way to repay you for the help that you are giving me.

However, since I now know that you don't want me to say "Sir"  to you, I will try my hardest to honor your wishes. :-) (Please do not be angry with me if I forget and one slips through.)

On your technical instructions, I will investigate further, find out what the issue could be, and follow your instructions.

Till next time!

Thank you again! :-)

German - Deutsch / VoIP mit enviaTel ohne FritzBo...
Last post by Hunter - January 11, 2026, 08:50:07 PM
Hallo an Alle,
ich habe seit dieser Woche endlich meinen Gigabit-FTTH-Anschluss von enviaTel ( seit Jahren 16 MBit/s DSL der Telekom ). Ich möchte die mitgelieferte FritzBox gar nicht nutzen und dafür alles an meine Sophos XG210, bespielt mit aktuellem OpnSense, anschliessen ( der/die/das Sophos liefert sozusagen nur die Appliance-Hardware ). Da diese SFP-Ports hat, habe ich auf SFP1 das Glasfaserkabel der enviaTel mit VLAN132 ( WAN ) und VLAN133 ( VoIP ) gesteckt. Ich kann mit voller Geschwindigkeit nun im Web surfen. Das klappt problemlos.

Das Thema VoIP ist allerdings für mich etwas schwieriger zu durchblicken. Ich habe ein Snom Tischtelefon ( D865 ) und eine Snom M900 DECT-Basis mit zwei Snom M85. In FreePBX wollte ich mich ungern einarbeiten, zumal Telefon ohnehin immer mehr durch Smartphone ersetzt wird. Irgendwie ist Asterisk wieder einmal eine ganz andere Welt, wo ich wieder Nächte/Wochen versenken könnte.
Kurzum, ich wollte die drei Snoms direkt mit meinem SIP-Server von enviaTel verbinden. Also habe ich ein eigenes VLAN ( ich nutze mehrere Mikrotik-Router, die mir die VLANs der OpnSense verteilen ) 192.168.20.0/24 für die Snoms genutzt.
Wenn ich das VoIP-VLAN 133 auf ein eigenes Interface lege und dort DHCP aktiviere, bekomme ich schonmal eine 172.x.x.x Adresse vergeben. Er sieht also das SIP-Netz.

Nun meine Fragen als absoluter VoIP-Neuling:

1) sollte ich intern mit einem zweiten VLAN ( 192.168.20.0/24 ) arbeiten oder sollte ich Layer 2 direkt an meinen Netzwerkport durchreichen, wo das Snom steckt ( damit das auch eine 172er-Adresse bekommt? Letzteres gefällt mir nicht so sehr, da ich mir dann die Konfiguration über das Webinterface schwer vorstelle und ich sicherlich noch LDAP-Server für das Telefonbuch zur Verfügung stellen möchte.
2) der enviaTel-Registrar heißt ngn.enviatel.net und ist nicht öffentlich auflösbar. Im VLAN133 bekomme ich die IP aufgelöst.

Hat schon jemand ein ähnliches Konstrukt gehabt ( ohne FritzBox, eigenes VoIP-VLAN, intern mehrere VLANs ) und kann mir Tipps geben? Brauche ich dafür siproxd oder geht das ohne? Wie fange ich an?

Bin für jeglichen Gedanken dankbar.

Hunter
