Why loss connection to my Public IP?
I successfully install opnsense on Linode using this reference:
https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/install-a-custom-distribution-on-a-linode/
However, when configuring my opnsense, SUDDENLY my opnsense CANNOT BE REACHED. Even when I reboot, still it have the same problem. I can't access the public ip address of my opnsense.
I paste my public IP in the address bar, it showed:
"This site cannot be reached, took too long to respond"
&&
"ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"
I don't know workaround to this issue. I seek help from you guys. Please help me solve to this issue.

@irfanaffandys If you've confirmed network connection to your Linode is configured and working properly, there may be some OPNsense specific configurations that are the problem. The following post from the OPNsense forum may provide you with some next steps and possible solutions.

Hope this helps get you going in the right troubleshooting direction!
Hye, thank you for responding. It seems that I am still unable to solve the problem. I still can't figure it out (after reading the OPNsense forum). I don't think my OPNsense configuration is the problem.
I can access Linode public IP address before the OPNsense wizard.
The wizard does not have any rules set yet just the basic configurations. If I can access OPNsense using the public IP, it means that my Linode configuration have no problem.
After the wizard, I can still access opnsense using public IP.
Which also means, the wizard is not the problem. However, after some time (like 10 min after the wizard), suddenly the public ip cannot be reached even I didnt configure anything yet in opnsense.
I don't know what is the problem here. 😭
The wizard does not have any rules set yet just the basic configurations. If I can access OPNsense using the public IP, it means that my Linode configuration have no problem.
I wouldn't make those assumptions. The basic configurations could have a default ruleset that says "block everything". Do you know for sure that's not the case?
I don't use OPNsense. I don't know the first thing about it.

@stevewi yeah I'm sure abt it.
If the wizard is problematic, I wouldn't have an access to OPNsense after the wizard setup. The connection would become fail instantly. Also, there are no rules configured in the wizard.
So,I wouldn't say the wizard is the problem here.
