Alright, I need fedis help here

My OpenWRT for my servers router decided to die, which made me realize that I really need to fix something that is redudant.

Preferably something rack-mounted, something that can run OPNsense - and not something that costs to much.

Ideas?

⚠️ Real-world gotcha: Zenarmor on OPNsense flagged Fastmail's ICS domain as malware.
Nothing worked until I whitelisted it.
If your calendar won't sync — check your DNS filter and firewall rules before assuming HA is broken.

Ik heb vandaag mijn #opnsense firewall eens gemigreerd naar de nieuw v26 release. Daarbij ook meteen de rulebase gemigreerd naar het nieuwe format en de ISC DHCP service vervangen voor de KEA DHCP variant.

Initieel zag ik er wel tegenop, maar achteraf was het een fluitje van een cent.

It's a long way from Dialup!

Since I recently moved my primary DNS to PowerDNS, I realized I can expose its API to my OpnSense and _finally_ get support for dynamic DNS for IPv6 with host-part replacement. Now I can choose if I want to expose things natively on IPv6 PD addresses and proxied on IPv4, or proxied on both AFs […]

Re: #OPNSense rule migration bug I posted about previously:

All attempts to fix this problem failed.

"Reset to defaults" + Reconfigure manually by hand (in the new rules interface) was the only way I could get it to work.

My unwavering optimism is evident in the fact that I already have the first open-source hardware for the Erich Mühsam Foundation network, without knowing where it will be installed. It is a 6 W firewall from Thomas Krenn and an open-source router from the OpenWRT community. It costs one-hundredth of an Apple device. It really belongs to you, but you need an IQ above 11. Whether that's the case for me remains to be seen, but it's worth a try.

Needed a reliable way to migrate between #opnsense and #pfsense (both ways) for clients.

Couldn't find a solution that could do either well, yet alone both.

Test it, break it, tell me.

Heads up #OPNSense users - the 26.1.2 update with the *new* Rules interface has some sort of bug with state tracking.

Firewall live-view no longer shows _ANY_ "Default Deny (State Violation)" messages and operating systems behind double-NAT (ie: docker containers, QEMU guests) experience DNS probs
