PLEASE HELP! WAN FLAPPING!

[SolarCzar]

OK, I'm getting desperate.  Just when I think my changes based on recommendations are stable, my WAN port starts flapping again.  This all started with 22.7.10.  I reverted back to 22.7.9 and it was worse.  This was working fine for months. I've set up rejected IP as instructed.  I turned off DHCP on my AT&T modem (Arris BGW210-700) which didn't help and wouldn't let me select the

All I know is that I rock along for some period of time and then I get a critical error and then it goes down.  Sometimes it's a bump with a quick recovery, others it's minutes, and other times it's down until I reboot.  I don't know what to check.

Not much to go on here....what hardware are you running OPNSense on?

[SolarCzar]

Sorry, this has been up/down all day.  Running on N5105, 256Gb NVME, 16Gb RAM.  Intel Celeron 2.00Ghz.

I finally figured out how to revert to 22.7.8, but no kernel update on that revision, so not sure that's the issue.

Don't know what to provide to troubleshoot this.  The only change to my setup has been to upgrade to 22.7.10_2.  I followed the recipes that others have provided.

[SolarCzar]

I just reverted back to 22.7.7_1 , as I could update the kernel there. 22.7.8 & .9 would show the WAN Flapping every 5 minutes.  It's only been 20minutes, but it hasn't flapped yet.

[WN1X]

Make sure hardware offloading is disabled. It's the default, but could cause your flapping.

[SolarCzar]

"Disable hardware large receive offload" is checked.

Well, 22.7.7 went 2hrs and bounced.  Better than every 5min, but I still don't know why or how to troubleshoot what is happening.  I would love to know that I have something not turned on/off correctly, but I can't find anything and it was running fine for months.

[WN1X]

Have you replaced the WAN ethernet cable to see if that helps?

[SolarCzar]

Actually I have.  Someone on Reddit suggested that as well.

[SolarCzar]

Update...so far after reverting to 22.7.7_1, I have had no WAN Flapping incidents.  I have no idea what functionality I have lost from not having .8,.9,.10 upgrades, but I can also state that my network is running faster.  My DNS resolve and website surfing "appears" to be more snappy. 

CPU Usage is down from 20-30% spikes to 2-10%, Memory has gone down from an average 10-15% of 16Gb, down to 4-8%, and Temperature has gone down from 85º C to 69º, which would be indicative of less CPU/Memory impact.   

Don't know what all this means, but my config is identical (except now there are no CRON jobs to reboot the router everyday...as I never needed them until newer versions).

So my wife, daughter, and network elements are all happy today, as their internet services are working.  I hope...Whew!

This presents a new problem. I'm going to have difficulty ever upgrading, and therefore promote a greater security risk for my platform, for fear of what I'll introduce.  For this reason, I would LOVE someone to PLEASE advise me (and others that read this) on what I can start troubleshooting to determine the cause.  I don't want to be a router expert, but I also don't want to spend another 2 weeks of my life trying to figure out solutions.  If I'm always going to be hesitant in my ability to rely on OPNsense upgrades, and therefore unwilling to upgrade when I probably would like more functionality or should for security reasons, then the future will always place doubt on trusting OPNsense and I will be forced to another platform...though I honestly don't know what that would be.  OPNSense provides enormous control and versatility over using my AT&T modem. I'm nervous about my future.  Please help, thanks.

[cookiemonster]

The challenge in my opinion is working out what is the combination of services/hardware/setup is what triggers it.
For that reason I see little choice but to see the release notes for the releases since the one that is ok, and try to figure out how it might affect your setup. It's not necessarily easy but nobody else knows what those services are setup in your case.
As always, diagnosing is an elimination process.

[SolarCzar]

I guess you're right, but I just hope some OPNsense Sage can read this and tell me the problem.  All that testing may be getting me in for more than I signed up for.  I went the OPNsense path, because AT&T kept pushing upgrades that disrupted my port-forwarding rules and knocking down my iOT devices. That's it.  I just needed it to stay up and function. If AT&T would have given me the ability to backup those rules or simply not impact them at all, then I would never have been on this OPNsense path and would have $225 in my pocket.  I admit I've got 10x the available functionality that the AT&T modem provided and I've learned a ton with OPNsense, but it was knowledge I wasn't seeking.  I'm now in a hole that I'm trying to get out of.

Any future testing will have to wait until my family is out of the house.  I nearly found myself in divorce court over this.

Thanks for the insight

You seem to be he only one reporting an issue with a Topton (or similar) machine. In the unfortunate one actually stumbles on a bug the following pattern will quickly emerge:

a) a bunch of #Me2 replies in your thread

b) devs become aware of the issue, offering a patch to test in your thread, and depending on the severity and applicability either a hot-patch will be released or if it's something that is likely to affect your particular setup only then it will become generally available on the next . release

Neither a) nor b) happened here.

This all started with 22.7.10.  I reverted back to 22.7.9 and it was worse.

The rush to quickly revert - how could it get worse ?

This was working fine for months.

Sometimes a brownout or a power outage can cause issues. If you're aware or suspect such a thing might have happened right around the time your issue started you could gracefully shutdown the FW then unplug everything from it for 15 minutes - and also power off the modem/ISP device if possible.

Also, depending on the NIC the FW plugs into you could set the WAN pot speed to either 1GB or 2.5Gb - there's rarely a need to keep it on auto-negotiation there.


All things considered, this doesn't seem to be an OPNsense or FreeBSD issue. Whenever in doubt, your best bet is to be on the latest version - and troubleshoot from there.

[SolarCzar]

Ok, my WAN flapping paused when I reverted to 22.7.7, but did not stop.  I swapped ethernet cables and reset ISP modems.  All my ports on my ISP have always been set to 1Gb Full Duplex instead of Auto. I have disconnected Pi-Hole, and other servers (SeaFile, PhotoPrism, etc..) as recommended.

Here is an excerpt from my Latest System Log (IP addresses redacted), in hopes it means something to someone...

I'm sure you have figured that it could be a physical problem with the port, the cable, the modem end, etc. so that leaves me as the next step to take out OPN out of the picture first. Another router would suggest modem/cable are ok. Then same hardware back in the picture. Maybe the other *sense ?
On OPN, you have any services running , what are they?
The ones that can put pressure on are Suricata, Zenarmor, and similar. Ones that are taking packets from the wire to do their magic.
