Dnsmasq stops occasionaly

[gunnarf]

I've switched from ISC DHCP to dnsmasq a few weeks ago. Followed the instructions thoroughly, and all seems to work fine. But twice since the switch the dnsmasq service has just stopped witch of course leads to clients not getting their IP-addresses.

After manually giving my main work computer a fixed address, I can connect with OPNsense server and start the service again. I see nothing in the logs.

Got any weird settings on like strict interface binding (dnsmasq general settings, advanced)? If interfaces drop out I can imagine dnsmasq not liking that.

Early yesterday I switched from kea to dnsmasq

I imported my static mappings. (It missed one). And it worked all day yesterday.

I just got home from work and connected my iPhone to wireless.   I couldn't view any websites. I have been using a controld apple mobile profile...l I thought maybe the service was down so moved to quad 9 https over dns.   Phone still said no network access, but had a valid ip address?..    I ended up turning off dnsmasq and enabling kea and all was good again


Should you reboot thevfirewall after going from one service to the other?
