PVE Kernel Upgrade; Can't access OPNSense

[croak3569]

Hi; I've been using PVE for 1+ months and everything has been running smoothly;

I have OPNSense installed as a VM; and yesterday night following an update/upgrade (of the Kernel, as I'm already on 8.4.2); I today can't access the OPNSense Web Interface at 192.168.1.1. I am connected to the the 192.168.1.0 LAN and can ping other devices/containers, and even have internet access. For some reason however, I can't seem to access the Web Interface or ping 192.168.1.1.

If I've posted this to the wrong forum; I sincerely do appologize.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

I would start by checking if you can see the OPNSense console through proxmox and if you can log in there with the root user.
In the OPNSense menu you then have a few things you can try/check there, for example attempting to ping, checking the IP's and mac's of the network-interfaces (and matching them with the hardware tab to make sure they're correct, checking/rolling back to old configs, etc.

EDIT: Since you can gain internet-access "through" the OPNSense though, it would more look like either a firewall or an OPNSense-own issue then ProxMox related.

Hey thanks a lot; Proxmox doesn't allow me to do anything wrt the OPNSense Console (just displays the assigned interfaces / ips etc), so not entirely sure how to interact with OPNSense

It could be a firewall issue; but I'm surprised that everything was working fine; prior to the proxmox update/upgrade.

I've got multiple OPNSense installations running on proxmox, and when I open the console-tab in proxmox, click inside the window somewhere to make it active, I can start typing the username to log in, enter, password to log in, enter, then get a multiple options menu for things like ping, reboot, etc.
If it does not respond to keyboard-input, that's a sign that indeed something is wrong somewhere.
If you reboot the system (if you have the possibility to), does typing (and maybe also accessing) then work?

Edit: sidenote, I'm running production (subscription) environment of proxmox on 8.2.2, so it could be an issue with the latest release.

Once again thanks for the response;

The console doesn't allow me to do anything actually; just displays the assigned interfaces and ips; doesn't allow me to interact with the CLI at all;

I guess my only choice at this point is to delete the VM and restore it it via a back up; if that doesn't work I'll have to reinstall OPNSense from scratch. Part of the learning experience I suppose..

Stupid question? Have you tried rebooting the OPNSense VM? Have you rebooted the whole PVE node?
