Since the June 2 update, the Wake-on-LAN feature in OPNsense has stopped working.

Is there any known issue currently open regarding this behavior?

WOL is still working with 26.1.10.

Set up a packet capture in Interfaces -> Diagnostics -> Packet Capture like in the image I've included, setting the interface per your device WOL configuration and then click Start.



Send the WOL then go back to Interfaces -> Diagnostics -> Packet Capture and click on the Jobs tab.

Click on one of the options under Commands to view the capture. You should see the 2 captured packets.

Actually, I may have expressed myself incorrectly. The issue is not with Wake-on-LAN itself, but rather with the cron task responsible for executing it.

Since the June 2 update, the cron job is no longer running according to its previous configuration.

Is there any known issue, bug report, or open ticket related to this behavior?
