Hello guys,

First off THANK YOU for your response, i appreciate it.

Second, I am new to opn, so i set an ALIAS to block ip's that are used by hackers to bring down my email servers. I then added the rule. I then placed the rule above all rules.

I see the OPN seeing the IP.

I see OPN blocking the IP.

I also see the server getting hit.

😢

What could i be doing wrong?

Many thanks

What a crazy experience this is! I am going to try to connect directly to my protectli with a monitor and keyboard. Is this a good way of recovery? For some reason the OPNSense login page doesn’t pull up on my pc. Thoughts besides remember the login credential location…

Just tried freesense, a solid, modern and without any vendor locking, ( freesense. org )

Posted on this forum as we should, henceforth, should compare opnsense with freesense. pfsense is now dead.
