      My setup was usualy easy . I had limiters on only 2 interfaces - one is for guests and one for mobile phones. Before update it was working corectly, now it works only till I didnt run bigger upload/speedtest etc.. Then something happen and I cannnot reach internet anymore. This is setup of limiter: ef9e9c39-bd24-4456-8f25-12feaf14cda0-obrazek.png

        @georgecz58 Can you remove limiters on one of the two interfaces, for testing? Or maybe disable the guest interface?

        I see our limiters use different schedulers…

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @steveits I have limiters on both WANs (DSL & LTE) and they worked fine in 2.6.0.

          Does no one else have issues with the DNS Resolver in 2.6.0? For me it randomly stopped responding to requests on some network interfaces - presumably those that have been inactive for a while. The only workaround was to manually restart the DNS Resolver. So basically "upgrade success -> no internet connection" for me as well ...

            I didn’t notice it, so could you please let me know where this mirror list is linked to?

              If you just click 'download' on the download page without selecting anything it will take you to the list.

                @steveits I test also your setup. Also tested with only one interface. Now i tested again and I find, that ping is working. So only DNS stopped to work here.

                  Are you able to see if that's all udp traffic or just DNS?

                      The same thing happened to me yesterday after upgrading to 2.6.0. I dont even have limiters set up. At first i thought it might be a realtek issue but i tried installing the drivers from here https://forum.netgate.com/topic/166746/realtek-re-kmod-missing-in-pfsense-2-6-repository and same thing happened still no internet. It might still be a realtek driver unless someone here with different NIC experiences the same problem. Check using Diag > Ping and the pfsense able to ping websites it just cant give internet to my network.

                      So i gave up for now and reverted back to 2.5.2

                        Most clients will attempt to send ntp traffic at least. You should see that in the states. It will probably try to use the interface IP directly though which may not hit the issue.
                        You can just try a udp traceroute.

                          @stephenw10 no it seem, that it was working only because I have separated FW rules for ICMP and UDP. When I now make one rule for all and set here limiters, nothing was working.

                          One maybe strange think is, that I see in states traffic from devices that are few hours disconnected from network, this is ok? States arent reseting itself?

                            I bet my ass that the issue is related to the DNS Resolver being fucked up once again.

                              There is two way traffic shown there but clients in the WIFI_231 subnet are unable to connect at all with that ruleset?

                              With the separate rules enabled do you see states/traffic shown for all three protocols?

                                I don't think it is that but you can easily test that theory by switching to DNSMasq.

                                  i use DNS Forwarder so i cant blame DNS Resolver since i get the same problem.

                                    @stephenw10 I would probably do that for testing purposes, if I still had 2.6 installed.

                                    The only thing I can tell you is that it repeatedly stopped working on some LAN networks while still working on others, and I could always fix the problem by restarting DNS Resolver once or twice and doing nothing else. After a day of problems, with no solution in sight, I had no choice but to downgrade.

                                      @stephenw10 Yes, with separated rules , traffic stopped to be working on rule where was limiter. I also find another issues, so I switched to second device for now as there was lot of issues :-/

                                        Ok, it looks like you had/have a captive portal active there which I think it probably the source if the issues you are seeing.

                                        In fact in fact I think a lot of the issues that look like Limiters may be and that's why replicating it has proved difficult.

                                        Anyone here seeing connectivity issues on interfaces with Limiters without Captive Portal running?

                                          @stephenw10 I should have tested turning off captive portal first before downgrading. captive portal might be the culprit here.

                                            @aju_flex Same thing on me too. I have 8 VLANs, and after upgrading to 2.6.0 limiters started to block internet. As soon take off limiters on IN/OUT pipeline it is working fine. It is annoying bug, downgrading to 2.5.2.
