Title: Installing proxmox and opnsense on MacMini 2012 (Project) - problems
Post by: dev4openid on May 19, 2023, 06:20:13 PM
Hi all,
I have been trying to get proxmox and OPNSense to work together on a mac mini 2012.  Seeking some advice.

My Virgin Media 1G router is set in bridge mode and it auto sets to 192.168.100.1 (I cannot change this at all)

I can define the virtual bridges etc for the 2 ethernet ports I have connected virbr0 (WAN 192.168.100.1) and virbr1 (LAN - 192.168.100.2).

I read somewhere that I may have to have 3 eth ports (1 for management) and  2 covering WAN and LAN routes for OPNSense.

When I config the ip addresses virbr 0/1 for WAN and LAN routes for OPNSense I cannot get back via port 192.168.100.2 (even though the reboot of Proxmox states 192.168.100.2:8006

Any ideas?
Maybe a no go?

Maybe I can you assign 2x ip addresses to the LAN eth?
I want this to be my virtual router (with DHCP etc) and get rid of my old router

On its LAN interface? So it's not bridged in fact?

WAN and LAN must not not be within the same subnet. You have to use something different for the LAN (and also Proxmox) if you cannot change the WAN subnet.
