Hello Everyone,
I have been struggling to set up Zenarmor on Opnsense v24.7.2, I worked out that if I enable IPS on this very it stops all internal firewall downloads. If I disable it the system comes back to life but I am getting the following error



As you can see from the image below everything is disabled I even tried to disable it manually via the console and still got the same error



Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

In your second screenshot the first three options are NOT disabled. You need to check them to disable each feature.

According to the Zenarmor docs you have to reboot OPNsense after saving those settings ( https://www.zenarmor.com/docs/guides/disabling-hardware-offloading ).

Also one observation re. your first screenshot: By default Zenarmor suggests the emulated Netmap driver. On my installation I picked the native Netmap driver, which - according to the Zenarmor docs at https://www.zenarmor.com/docs/guides/deployment-modes - is more performant. But it may not be compatible with all NICs.


Thanks, I forgot about the netmap driver, I think I need to change mine which runs on a quad port Intel i350 so I would think the best of all cases.
