23.7.7_3 breaks Internet connection

[SvenTorsten]

Hi,
after the update (without any issue) to 23.7.7_3 my Internet connection is broken (Germany, Vodafone/ Arcor VDSL line via Draytek Vigor 130). Worked fine before and works again after re-install of 23.7; confirmed that a couple of times now.
Do you have an idea what goes wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Torsten

I had the same problem, I reinstalled completely opnsense, but now it is asking to update to 23.7.7_3 for additional packages, which I have not yet done, fearing it will break again.

For me the main gateway is fine, its the PIA Wireguard gateway that is failing.

@SvenTorsten For PPPoE check that your PPPoE gateway is marked as default... it's probably not which is a consistency fix from 23.7.6.

Everybody else not on PPPoE I suppose?


Cheers,

I updated from 23.7.5 to 23.7.7_3 without any issues so far (also PPPoE in Germany, but Telekom Dual IP Stack; and also Draytek, but Vigor 167).

[franco]

@sbellon yeah the unlucky ones don't have their gateway marked as upstream (mostly likely edited at some point to get it working)

[sbellon]

But I haven't done that either, if you are talking about System -> Gateways -> Single -> WAN_PPPOE: "Upstream Gateway". Or what setting are you referring to?

[franco]

Yes, this. Are you using default gateway switching perhaps?


Cheers,
Franco

[sbellon]

System -> Settings -> General: Gateway switching is also off here.

[franco]

Hmmmmmmm, nope, I'm lost now.  :)


Cheers,

OK, fixed here also by enabling the default gateway (was disabled throughout).

[SvenTorsten]

@Franco  Enabling upstream gateway for PPPoE worked for me as well, thank you very much!

[sbellon]

@franco Would you advise me to a) set Upstream Gateway, b) set Gateway switching, c) set both, or d) never touch a running system? ;-)

[senser]

I have the same setup as in OP ... but without the issues. I also don't have those gateway settings enabled.

[franco]

I've looked at a test system. I'm not entirely sure what's happening. Maybe this "problem" only exhibits when you have more than one gateway (others for internal purposes perhaps) and not make clear that you want the WAN gateway to be upstream so it falls back to the wrong one?

Generally I would recommend marking at least the primary WAN connection as "upstream" in any installation.
