General Discussion / ISP assigned static IP issue
« on: January 23, 2024, 05:44:18 pm »
I am with a local fiberoptic company, Altafiber, and have a 1gb service with a static IP. The challenge is that they insist on putting a crappy Zyxel between the ONT and my Protectli Vault running opnsense via a proxmox vm. The Zyxel cannot be put in bridge mode. I have tried spoofing the mac address of the Zyxel but it will not work. We still have internet because I have the ONT plugged directly into the WAN port on my Vault but have to set opnsense to DHCP. The ISP states that they do not support bypassing their hardware.
Does anyone have experience with working past something like this? I was thinking that maybe I need to do something more than just spoof the mac address but, to be honest, I would have no idea what. I am not a network guy. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
