26.1 Series / Something in 2.61 breaks Offic...
Last post by allenlook - Today at 02:58:00 AM
Installed 26.1 and all seemed fine.  Yesterday I was having a lot of trouble with M365, specifically PowerPoint and Excel files that would save locally but generated a lot of "Upload Failed" messages, and intermittent "SSL library load failed" messages in Excel.

I reverted to 25.x and everything was working OK again.  I tried disabling Maltrail and its blocklists, turning off the Unbound DNS blocklist, and looking for rules that might be causing trouble.

Using the M365 Connectivity Test website everything was working OK under 25.x, but it would generate a lot of errors to domains like microsoft.com, and .microsoft using 26.1.

Are there any other reports of this, or does anything stick out as being a possible culprit?

I don't think so ?!

Click/Hover on your username on top of the forum and you will eventually find this :

There you can find some Avatar and Signature related settings amongst others :)

Quote3.  Fresh install of OPS has unbound running in forwarding mode.  I don't see a simple toggle between forwarding and resolving.  How do I configure unbound to resolve instead of forward?
Unbound and DNSmasqd in OPNsense can work together in various ways so that's something to read about in the documentation ;)

I am a translation contributor for the Chinese (zh-CN) language, and I have applied to join the translation team for the Chinese (TW) language.  My application was submitted some time ago, but it is still in a "pending" state.

Zenarmor (Sensei) / HA and Zenarmour home paid
Last post by viper359 - Today at 02:14:36 AM
Hello
I am looking to do a HA setup. I am a paid sub of the zenarmor home plan. What is the best way to deploy in this situation, since HA is only available in the business edition, which is way too much money for home use.

Quote from: franco on February 05, 2026, 04:47:40 PMIt's a brave new world since https://github.com/opnsense/dhcp6c/commit/369b4dcf ;)
Indeed, optional prefix ID / interface ID for WAN interfaces has proven to be very useful for some uses cases.

Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on February 03, 2026, 08:16:10 PMMach mal ntopng aus - das erzeugt ja noch mehr Last auf dem schon kaputten Datenträger.
Guten Abend :)

Kannst du mir nen Tipp geben wie ich meine Unbound/Adguard Kombi temporär umgehen kann?
Dadurch, dass Adguard nicht installiert ist, scheint das WebUI keinen Internetzugriff zu haben.
So kann ich natürlich kein Adguard nachinstallieren...

Nur Unbound deaktivieren und DNS Server einzutragen funktioniert nicht...

pings auf google.de oder so gehen aber trotzdem
oder muss ich dann noch unbound von Port 53053 zurück auf 53 stellen?

26.1 Series / IPv6 DHCP Issues
Last post by pingloss - Today at 12:22:19 AM
I've come across an odd issue after just moving ISP's where my IPv6 traffic is bouncing up and down every 5 minutes. I've worked out it's linked to the IPv6 DHCP renewal that's taking place every 5 minutes but I don't know if it's setup error on my or their side? It wasn't occurring prior to the move this morning so logic says it's an issue on their side but I'd like to sanity check myself.

I see the following log entries when the IPv6 traffic works

The process goes around in another 5 mins and traffic starts to flow again. I've logged the issue with my new ISP but I just wanted to know if there's anything on my side I'm not understanding?

I not create the VLANs, via GUI the VLANs were already present but not assigned and I was able to reassign them after changing the LAN on igb1 and the WAN on igb0.

26.1 Series / Speedtest plugin not working a...
Last post by FullyBorked - Today at 12:03:22 AM
I did a re-install of my firewall with a restore from backup.  All is fine except I can't get this speedtest plugin to work again, my cron job exists but doesn't seem to run and the dashboard widget shows "Failed to load widget".  During the initial setup I couldn't remember which module to choose so I chose speedtest-cli but I'm thinking I should have chosen the other (that I can't remember what it's called) but also don't see how to reset the config back so I get the choice again.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the plugin a few times. 

I'd welcome any guidance.  :)
