Still no DNS-Name in GRE-Interface?

We are heavily using GRE-Tunnels for some remote opnsense-systems just to get some unimportant status-information from remote-systems. The data itself is already encrytped, so we just want some routes to the remote-sites with GRE.

We have 2 sites where the IP is not static, so it would be nice to use DDNS-Name for the GRE-Endpoint.

However, webGUI still does not allow this. Is this something that we can work around without the need to create extra WG, OVPN, IPSEC or whatever-Config?

It can be supported and then queue the problem that the kernel fails to account for (re)starting the tunnel when the DNS changes which is where the real work starts... That being said PRs are open to fix the whole problem at once. The core team will be happy to review the efforts.


Cheers,
