Two days ago, I updated my OPNSense to version 20.7.2. Then I started experiencing issue with my connection. My connection would cut off after a few hours and I could not get onto the firewall. Luckily, I have a backup of my configuration so reinstalling the firewall should not be a big problem.
Now, I have this issue of bring the firewall up to date. If I use the standard method to update the firewall, it will update it to the latest version, i.e. 20.7.2 which is the version I had problems with. Hence, I need a way to bring my firewall to the last good version, e.g. 20.7.1.
After consulting the know-it-all Google, here is what I found. On the firmware settings page, rather than using the default flavor, choose "(other)". In the box underneath, specify the version you want to update to, e.g.
<major version>/MINT/<decimal version number>/OpenSSL
20.7/MINT/20.7.1/OpenSSL
Save the settings, and then press the "Check For Update" button as usual. You now should get an update offer to the version you specified.
I hope I don't need to do this again in the future, but I guess this is something good to know.
