Here is your biweekly dose of bugfixes and quality of life improvements! This update offers several new features: VLANs on bridges, “received-on” firewall rule support, persistent rule label tracking, repeatable WireGuard QR codes, menu favourites and full screen grid support. On top of that it bundles the recent FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p3, fixes and cleanups as well as third party updates such as OpenSSL 3.5.8 and OpenSSH 10.5p1. Enjoy. :)

Meanwhile, development is busy with adding interface settings to the new MVC assignments page, which includes building wireless MVC/API support. That is all for now. Need to get back to work.

Original source

For over 11 a half years now, OPNsense is driving innovation through modularising and hardening the open source firewall, with simple and reliable firmware upgrades, multi-language support, fast adoption of upstream software updates, modern IPv6 support, as well as clear and stable 2-Clause BSD licensing.

26.7, nicknamed “Xenial Xenops”, features interface assignments and gateway groups via MVC/API, firewall rules now defaulting to MVC/API, outbound NAT to source NAT migration assistant, captive portal IPv6 support, Kea DDNS/custom options/dynamic prefix delegation, FreeBSD 15.1, OpenVPN 2.7, PHP 8.5, Python 3.13, plus much more.

The upgrade path for 26.1 will likely be unlocked later today. We want to ensure the upgrade goes as smoothly as possible so please be patient! :)

Migration notes, known issues and limitations:

• The privileges “page-system-groupmanager” and “page-system-usermanager-addprivs” were merged into “page-system-groupmanager” and are no longer available separately. This was done to avoid the misconception that access to a user management page gives constrained rights to each page, but that is not the case. User management is a process involving all 3 pages.
• The static PHP pages for firewall rule management have been moved to the “os-firewall-legacy” plugin which can be manually installed before or after the upgrade. All rules will continue to work regardless of the plugin being installed or not and are easily migrated using the given assistant.
• Hyper-V guests may be producing panics on certain hosts with more than one virtual processor assigned. Make sure to snapshot beforehand and stay on 26.1.x until the situation is clear.
• Since this is a major OS upgrade and OpenSSL changes from 3.0 to 3.5 third party repositories may interfere with your upgrade experience. Removing offending repositories and plugins may help; or wait for affirmation from the respective repository owners.
• The CPU microcode early loading has been known to be flaky on some setups. A fix is in the FreeBSD 15.1 boot loader code, but can only be reached by reinstall or manually updating the boot code of your system after the upgrade succeeded. If you want to be on the safe side during the upgrade itself please remove the plugin before proceeding.

Summer challenges aside: 26.7 is almost here! It includes FreeBSD 15.1 and a somewhat small list of other highlights. The reason for that is a stringent backporting strategy that was employed in the 26.1 series.

Keep in mind this is an online-based pre-production test release. Upgrades from the 26.1.11 development version are already available. The final release date for 26.7 is July 15.

Here are the development highlights since version 26.1 came out:

• Interfaces assignments to MVC/API
• Gateway groups to MVC/API
• Firewall rules MVC page is now the default
• Source NAT is now a replacement for outbound NAT
• Captive portal IPv6 support
• Kea DDNS, custom options and dynamic prefix delegation support
• OpenVPN 2.7 with TLS-Crypt v2 support
• FreeBSD 15.1
• Python 3.13
• PHP 8.5

And these are the changes against version 26.7-RC1:

• system: include interfaces widget in dashboard default
• firewall: constraint source NAT getAction() to only general page and align setAction() accordingly
• firewall: use proper path for one-to-one NAT rules for renaming operations
• firewall: avoid emitting reply-to on block rules as well
• captive portal: adjust accounting interval to Acct-Interim-Interval
• firmware: remove overzealous cleansing in output_cmd to unhide individual character progress
• monit: fix mail-format and poll-time validation
• mvc: add file type to forms
• ports: suricata 8.0.6

A hotfix release was issued as 26.7.r2_3:

• interfaces: fix faulty netmask on loopback address due to upstream change
• firewall: change interface group render/apply order
• backend: swap “strict” template logic as it was reversed
• src: pf: do not mangle IP header before shared forwarding
• src: additional stable/15 networking patches

Back already with a bag of security advisories also for FreeBSD which came out just yesterday. We highly appreciate the increased amount of reports we are getting for the core code and we are working through them, but need to improve our process and guidelines somewhat in order to make more sense of the result for all of you. This will probably take additional effort after 26.7 is out.

Note that this update brings the outbound to source NAT migration page, but it is only a formality as outbound NAT will stay in 26.7 although the legacy firewall rules page will move to a plugin during the major upgrade. It is the same process that was employed with ISC-DHCP. Due to this addition, however, the source NAT rules entered in the system will no longer work unless the mode is set to either “manual” or “hybrid”.

And thanks everyone for early 26.7-BETA testing! We are content to ship 26.7-RC1 early next week as a follow-up. The final release of 26.7 is planned for July 15.

Here are the full patch notes:

This update is the obvious answer to recent reports throughout the ecosystem: There are 3 core security issues fixed, FreeBSD security advisories, third party updates as well as assorted fixes plus improvements in the new rules GUI.

The firmware page had a number of minor regressions that should be sorted out with this release. They did not affect updates, but made the process a bit less smooth than usual. Be assured that each minor update is tested quite extensively, but non-functional issues like these can always slip through a test cycle and will be found in the next one. In the worst case that means two stable releases: the issues appeared with 26.1.8 but were not visible before 26.1.9 was being tested.

Under the hood the preparation for Source NAT migration, MVC/API support for interface assignments and FreeBSD 15.1 support is underway. We expect a 26.7-BETA in the near future once we are satisfied with the overall quality.

Yes, we are obviously still alive! This update addresses a number of security issues first and foremost an injection into LDAP authentication that can bypass group restrictions during login. Also included are Curl and OpenSSL third party updates as well as FreeBSD security advisories.

Further UX tweaks reached the new firewall rules GUI, the MVC grid system and surprising movement in the Kea corner. But maybe most importantly: the captive portal finally gained native IPv6 support. Let us know what you think about it!

Original source

This update finally brings in Python 3.13 after the struggle we had with 3.11 and missing security patches. A number of things were fixed for the new rules GUI as well as assorted minor things in all areas of the code base. Two FreeBSD security advisories are also included and a reboot is needed to finish this update.

Of note are the recent modifications of the firmware scripting as they follow a fix in 26.1.2 that seems to have resolved the partial upgrade failures people have been reporting over the last 2 years. It turned out that the issue was a cleanup routine in the core package that removed temporary files in the background while the package manager was still attempting to install more packages.

Here are the full patch notes:

system

• add note field to store comments for each snapshot
• add configurable 7memberOf8 attribute to LDAP connector
• do not scrub unrelated IPv6 DHCP ranges from Dnsmasq LAN config during wizard
• adapt DHCP address shell setup for new config access functions
• adapt web GUI certificate renew for new config access function
• adapt initial port configuration DHCP setting for new config access functions
• avoid using 7(system)8 user revision annotation to match legacy and MVC code
• fix log files 7go to page8 edge case and row count persistence/max
• ignore future backups when they exist to ensure new backups are saved
• ensure proper types are emitted in searchGatewayAction() when configd action fails
• use safe iteration for cert/ca in system_trust_configure()
• fixed broken link in modal header when using HA and saving administration settings
• create a backup on factory reset
• unify pwd_changed_at usage

reporting

• restore canvas state in health graph to fix Firefox display bug

interfaces

• generalise the dhcp6c_script using the new IFNAME variable
• fix enter key in assignment description and general cleanup
• protect device reads against forcing empty arrays into $config

firewall
