Is it possible to use OpnSense Freeradius plugin for external Wireless Access Points WPA Enterprise authentication ?

Sure, set up your AP's as "clients" in FreeRadius, set up users and then to WPA2 Enterprise :)

Thanks for reply :).

So, I don't need to add server in System/Access/Servers in this case ?
I just need to add freeradius plugin and configure it in Services/FreeRADIUS (including users and clients-WAPs) ?


  • Any firewall rules needed ?
  • What IP address to put on my clients ? Is OpnSense listening for radius messages on all its interfaces ?



You have to allow 1812 udp If not yet. It listens in all IPs, yes


Simmilar to my tutorial: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/interface_wireless_internal.html

Just with another NAS (you need an external IP and you need to open the port).
