WAN interface flapping with 22.1.2

[Scuro]

As a new OPNSense user I can confirm that MAC spoofing causes the WAN to flap.
I am running a J4125 unit with Intel I225-V NICs on 22.1.6.

If I disable MAC spoofing it no longer flaps the WAN.

I need to spoof the mac address so still waiting for a fix :'(

[subivoodoo]

I also need it... a fix would be nice!

Or is there at least an idea of the real issue? Intel driver [only?] issue with mac spoofing???

Thx all for the very good hint about "mac spoofing" .. i did not have got the chance to test it.
1rst of all, i wrote my ISP if "mac spoofing" is mandatory from his side.

on my side - UNBOUND is not working anymore since 22.1.2 or since UNBOUND version: unbound 1.15.0

Yesterday, i gave it a try again - and upgraded to 22.1.6.

I've got a lot of UNBOUND "overrides" in place & BlockLists.
I did disable the BlockLists - but this didn't help.

DNS is not working anymore - it seems that the DNS Resolver will switch from offline to online & vice versa in a very short time (what others called "flapping")

between i can connect to the WEB for a short time (but resolution is very, very slow).
..getting a WAN DHCP ip & and then it disappears again.

The whole machine gets very hot, CPU & unbound is about 100% - restart UNBOUND does not fix this issue.

Fortunately i'm using ZFS, so Restore is quick & easy - but full RESTORE was needed in every upgrade after version: 22.1.1 (with UNBOUND 1.15.0).

I tried the upgrades also with different hardware - same result - no chance to get UNBOUND working again - and DNS - of course is fundamental.

In my case it's really only an issue on Intel NIC's... switched my WAN to the onboard Realtek NIC and all is working now (mac spoofing with IDP on in IPS mode, OPNsense 22.1.6)

Is there any kernel or driver fix underway?

[tracerrx]

I still have to change the gateway monitor address on multiple firewalls every 3-4 days (all dual wan) or the gateway start to flap...

What would be your intel NIC model? I'm having WAN issues (spoofing MACs on WAN vlans) when upgrading from 22.1.2 to 22.1.5-6 with the dreaded i225, but I'm not clear at this point the actual issue.

I have this issue on a X710 and on another system with I225... and no issues on a test VM (unraid/KVM virtio NIC) and also no issue on some old crappy realtek onboard NIC.

[foxmanb]

@Franco any update on this one? Will we see it resolved in a future release (soon hopefully?).

[devhunter55]

@Franco - yes - we would all appreciate if this could fixed soon  ;)

(knocked out since 22.1.1 (with UNBOUND 1.15.0))

Same here; my VM with VirtIO is fine for WAN with VLANs and MAC spoofing (2 USB dongles on proxmox, AQC111U), my bare metal with I225 has issues with this WAN+vlan+spoof setup.

[tracerrx]

Everyone having this issue seems to be using intel nics, so maybe this is just a FreeBSD 13 driver issue? Anyone have a howto to install the updated intel drivers that are included in FreeBSD 13.1?

[devhunter55]

this may be true in my case, too (but i think - as long we don't know the reason for - it is an assumption):
