Intermittent connectivity loss - OPNsense VM unreachable

Hello,

Sometimes OPNsense (running as a VM on Proxmox VE) becomes unreachable (no Web UI / no ping), which causes all VMs behind it to lose internet connectivity.

The issue is only resolved by opening the OPNsense console and either reloading all services or rebooting the VM. After that, everything works normally again.

Notes
  • Issue appeared after upgrading to 25.7
  • Did not happen on older versions

Question:
Has anyone encountered this issue? Is there a known solution or workaround?

Same setup here, OPN ver (26.1.6) as VM on Proxmox ver (9.1.9) for about a couple of weeks and without problems.
Before the update to 26.1 series it was running on 25.7, again without problem.
