This makes me want to cry! WebGUI instability on all different hardware!

[roohoo]

I don't believe it!  I decided that I'd try reinstalling OPNsense as a VM under Proxmox so that Proxmox acted like a sort of Hardware Abstraction Layer.  I even boosted the RAM to 64GB so that OPNSense could have 16GB.

The result:  Exactly the same.  The firewall appears to keep working, with all my network's devices keeping their Internet connectivity, but the webgui is displaying nonsense - with the characteristic 20000+ days uptime (the correct uptime, as displayed in the shell, being 1 hour 45 minutes).

I'm so disappointed as I thought that this might cure my issues - with Linux drivers handing virtual hardware to OPNsense, but it wasn't to be!

That completely rules out the issue with opnsense. Your clients are broken, or something between your clients and opnsense.

The keyword is "webgui" here... as it seems, not even the time being off is present when using SSH.

When the problem occurs only on the web gui, it has to be the client, which means browser or some kind of plugin. I would try another browser first.
