Thank you very much for the great update

The firewall conversion went smoothly thanks to the migration wizard, which is virtually foolproof and easy to use even for a layman.

I use OPNsense in my home network and therefore decided to switch from ISC DHCP to Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP.

As a layman, it took me some time to understand that in my case, Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP should "only" replace ISC DHCPv4/6 and not Unbound DNS as well (Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP is "only" used for resolution in the local network).
That's why it took a while to get adguard up and running again.
(Luckily, there are snapshots :-)

Once that was clarified, I uninstalled the ISC plugin and everything is working wonderfully – thank you very much

Oh, and this guide helped me a lot:

Oh, and this guide helped me a lot:

The automagical ISC -> Kea config migration did not eventuate for me, but your excellent and informative post helped me out of the woods. It was a godsend. Thank you very much!

I'll chime in here as well.  Earlier today I updated from 25.7.10 to 16.1.2_5.  For a long time I've been an advocate of never updating "critical" infrastructure or services with any software that ends in ".0" (or ".1" with OPNsense's revision formatting).  While it is just my home network, there are a number of homelab servers and services, and need to support several users needing it for school and WFH situations.  We all have become very dependent on things working properly in the past half decade.

Kudos to the OPNsense team for a seamless and pain free release.  Also want to recognize and offer a big "Thank you!" to the regulars here on the forum for your willingness to offer you advice and support.

Which doesn't exist?  :)

Nice to hear these success stories.  From a release engineering standpoint 26.1.2 is in a very good place.


Cheers,

The firewall migration worked well for me, and I was able to manually move over ISC to KEA ahead of time and then remove the plug-in that wasn't needed anymore.

To any wanting to 'sync' their KEA IPv4 and IPv6 Reservations by just creating a IPv4 Reservation... here's some Python ^_^

Great update, thank you!!
