26.1 Series / Re: 26.1 Crashing
Last post by JustMeHere - February 04, 2026, 04:36:31 PMI've experienced two issues that made the machine un-responsive. This was stable before 26.1.0. DNS did seem like it was not working this last time.

Last post by Monviech (Cedrik) - February 04, 2026, 04:31:18 PMIt gets processed in the way you see it sorted in the GUI.
With the new update today you can see all rules, then its easier to see the full picture.

26.1 Series / Re: Rules [new] Sort order Seq...
Last post by muchacha_grande - February 04, 2026, 04:28:10 PMJust to be sure, I have a floating rule with sort order 200000.0000011, then a group rule 300000.0000021 and finally an interface rule 300000.000001. Does it mean that the interface rule will be processed before the floating and the group rules?
I have to make sure that the interface rule is processed first because is a general blacklist.
In the old rule system I had the blacklist declared as a floating rule with only the WAN interface selected.

Last post by franco - February 04, 2026, 04:21:50 PMKind of, yes, settings stay in place, but since the new default install does not have ISC-DHCP installing the plugin is required if you want to use it (which sounds logical).
If you can do an upgrade instead of a reinstall. The only point to reinstall is when wanting to move from UFS to ZFS.
The upgrade is fire and forget (not counting upgrade related issues with disk, file system or package manager misbehaving which can obviously always happen but are not the norm).
Cheers,
Franco

26.1 Series / 26.1 Crashing
Last post by 5310H - February 04, 2026, 04:13:07 PMOver 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?

Last post by jmcgee - February 04, 2026, 04:06:43 PMQuote from: franco on February 04, 2026, 08:31:23 AMUpgrading? No. Reinstalling to import a config? Make sure to install the ISC plugin before rebooting the thing.thanks, I got no upgrade on existing machine.
Cheers,
Franco
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?

Tutorials and FAQs / Re: [HOWTO] Reach your ONT or ...
Last post by OPNenthu - February 04, 2026, 03:58:58 PMIs 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.

Last post by Greg_E - February 04, 2026, 03:58:33 PMI 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.
