• Problem Lost internet access from LAN after ugprading from latest 26.1 -> 26.7.1 · Reddit · 2026-08-04

  ETA that this issue is "resolved." Unfortunately, I didn't have time to actually troubleshoot to find the cause. After 30+ hours without internet access, I had some 'splaining to do to the family. In the end I reset opnsense and after the initial setup everything was working aga…

• Mention 26.7 and Xbox Gaming (Specifically Rockstar P2P games) · Reddit · 2026-08-06

  EDIT: Welp, seems 26.7.2 has mostly resolved this issue, as it's incorporated Endpoint Independent NAT, which I have converted the Static Port SNAT rule to, and everything seems to be working once again. Hey all, not really sure where to go from here - I had a great config runni…
