Hi there,
First I apologize if I am mistaking few concepts I am very new into the networking game, lacking of knowledge obviously but I will try to fix it with time and also a ton of patience ...
So I recently bought a proctectli where I installed OPNsense on and as you may already guess I am facing a tiny problem, from my point of view it doesn't look like a big thing to solve but still I am walking in the fog here so I need your help guys.
What I want to do is to configure the WAN interface with a fixed address.
This is how I configured the fixed IP: Interfaces -> WAN -> IPv4 Configuration Type -> Static IPv4
The problem with a fixed IP PC_1 doesn't have access to internet and I can't find what I am missing, I looked over few options in the OPNsense GUI but I don't want to brick every thing ... and I already played enough with plug/unplugged the monitor/keyboard into protectli during various installations ^_^
Thank

You don't normally need to set a static ip for the wan, as it is the ip issued by your ISP when your router initialises the WAN interface, in a "normal" domestic setting. Are you sure you need to set it to static?
