    The downside is OPNsense is it’s information light, and a bit inscrutable lol I’m having an issue with my WAN dhcp going offline, seems to be happening on a cadence. My modem is fine, connection is valid. Rebooting the OPNsense box fixes it. Losing my mind a bit but I’ll figure it out 🙃

      Try setting a tunable of:

      net.link.ether.inet.max_age = 540

      By default FreeBSD sets a 20 minute ARP maximum age while many ONT’s set a 9 minute maximum age. This will show up as performance issues initially then cause other issues.

      Also Realtek NIC’s are notorious for issues with FreeBSD, so if you are using one replacing it with an Intel one is highly recommended.
