25.7, 25.10 Series / Re: Urgent – no PPPOE connecti...
Last post by TheBob - November 26, 2025, 07:48:46 PMPlease mark this topic as solved.
I finally got word from my ISP: wrong pppoe login credentials.
Somehow the reboot of my opnsense messed up my pppoe user login, password.
Maybe this is helpful for someone else in the future.
Best regards

25.7, 25.10 Series / Re: Firewall: Log Files: Live ...
Last post by pfry - November 26, 2025, 07:31:42 PMI missed that. Confirmed, columns seem fixed. I didn't think "firewall: live log: make this grid static and slightly adjust info column width" meant that. Static columns seems an odd choice, if it was deliberate.
Nitpick: It'd be nice if the line shade was consistent - not by position (as it is now), but by element (so the text shade remains the same as it scrolls). I find the changing light/dark shading makes it harder to follow a particular entry.

Last post by meyergru - November 26, 2025, 07:27:55 PMIch lege unter Firewall: Groups eine Interface Gruppe an, die alle lokalen VLAN-Interfaces enthält und nenne sie LOCAL. Die verwende ich dann als Interface in "Firewall: Rules: Floating". Wenn ich später weitere VLANs anlege, muss ich die nur der Gruppe hinzufügen und nicht jeder einzelnen Regel.

Last post by pfry - November 26, 2025, 07:22:32 PMQuote from: Billy2010 on November 26, 2025, 04:46:06 PMI went with minisforum but, the one I have does draw 100TDP (I have metered it) whilst far from max load.[...]
Interesting. I don't know what BIOS settings are available for the Minisforum, but the AMD processors are highly configurable. 100W from a 16 core device isn't surprising, even with the 55W/75W "TDP". With a bit of tuning you could get maximum single-core clock with a reasonable power limit. I don't see high CPU utilization from my firewall (7700X, X710-DA4, X550-T1; it normally runs idle, at around 40W), but my Internet link is much slower than yours (500Mb) and I do not use an IPS. At any rate, to paraphrase Brandywine, buy once, cry once, and you won't regret getting a solution that's too small for the job. In most areas of the U.S. the price of your Internet link would make the firewall seem like small change.

25.7, 25.10 Series / service adguardhome not starti...
Last post by neek - November 26, 2025, 07:13:51 PMI've installed the adguardhome plugin from mimugmail. It was all working well. Some time ago, I think maybe when I upgraded from 25.1 -> 25.7, the plugin stopped loading at boot time. Every time after a reboot, I now need to ssh into the box and manually start it with '
Code Select
service adguardhome start'. After that, it stays running and all is well. Is there some magic I need to do to force it to always run at boot? I learned recently that opnsense uses a mechanism other than /etc/rc.d to start its services. Any suggestions? #97

After updating to 25.7.8 I can't change the tabs size the Firewall: Log Files: Live View.
Thanks in advanced

Last post by Patrick M. Hausen - November 26, 2025, 06:52:53 PMIf AGH forwards to your local Unbound and that is run in plain recursive mode without any upstream, then to lookup e.g. forum.opnsense.org:
- a random root server will see a request for the NS records of .org
- a random server from that list will see a request for the NS records of opnsense.org
- a random server from that list will see a request for the A and AAAA records of forum.opnsense.org
No single entity will see all your DNS requests.
That's why I never use public recursive servers.
BTW: Cloudflare is not authoritative for e.g. opnsense.org. Authoritative means "the server with full control of the particular zone".

Last post by JMini - November 26, 2025, 06:45:46 PMOh. Right. Once it hits the DNS provider it's decrypted. But, Cloudflare IS an authoritative DNS provider.
AdGuard forwards requests to whatever DNS server I set.
I've since set google DNS DOH as a fallback server. I like Google less than CloudFlare. Google is a data mining company.
I'm comfortable with Adguard sending my DNS requests to Cloudflare and falling back to Google as necessary.

Last post by Patrick M. Hausen - November 26, 2025, 06:41:25 PMThat plugin is useless inside a VM, anyway. Any microcode updates for your CPU need to be done on the hypervisor host.
