Hi newbie here.
I followed the tutorial here to get modem access in bridged mode (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=8616.msg38219#msg38219) - it works as expected (although i don't fully understand the need for the floating rule).
1. I've noticed that OPNsense GUI is also available via the Virtual IP. Bonus, maybe? Any risk to this? Any way (or a real need) to disable that somehow?
2. I have a TP-LINK W9970 which has additional physical ports. Now i can get a laptop configured with a static IP in the modem's private subnet which allows me to get to the modem's GUI. Is there not a way to simply connect a wire from one of the free ports physically to a switch and access the modem with simpler rules? And would that be without VLANs and all that? ie. no need for the virtual IP etc in (1).
thank you
Hi newbie!
1. Under System -> Settings -> Administration you can set the interfaces where OPNsense is listening... :-)
@chemlud - ah yes you're right. I changed to LAN only and worked. thank you
