Quick post to note how I determined and then fixed the internet access issue I was having when I installed OPNsense on Proxmox.
OPNsense virtual machine is configured with VirtiO network drivers.
Other than the obvious “I can’t access anything on the internet” or can’t reach external IP addresses problem I looked at troubleshooting via nmap – because the devices on the network could ping externally (8.8.8.8) and also resolve DNS requests.
In a broken state you may see ‘tcpwrapper’ when testing a known host serving HTTP, like so:
root@test:~# nmap -p 80 -sV 216.58.194.206
Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-11-17 17:54 UTC
Nmap scan report for sfo03s01-in-f206.1e100.net (216.58.194.206)
Host is up (0.010s latency).
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
80/tcp open tcpwrapped
Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 7.91 seconds
To fix this issue, ensure that “Disable hardware checksum offload” is enabled in the OPNsense interface, then reboot the firewall for changes to take effect.
After a reboot, doing another test via nmap will actually respond with HTTP fingerprints, as expected and internet is back.
