Hello,
I have a rather tricky (regarding my perception) question in hand.
Recently my iptv provider decided that I should use a VPN in order to access his service. Hence this topic :)
Currently I am running latest OPNSense 23.1.11 where I have setup wireguard so that I am able to access my home network when I am away from home.
OPNSense works as a router and DHCP server alongside a separate raspberry pi wherein lies my pihole.
PiHole acts as a recursive DNS server (https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/).
All of the above work flawlessly.
The million-dollar question is what is the best way to introduce a purchased VPN Service in all that.
Any reply is welcome.
Cheers!
If it is unicast then why not just configure OPNsense as a VPN client towards the VPN service?
Hi,
If I am not terribly mistaken this is unicast transmission.
So you say I could simply configure OPNSense as VPN Client? Any limitations with regard to the service I should select?
Is there no need to mess with the settings of any of the following:
PiHole, Wireguard (in OPNSense)?
Cheers!

Yes, start by configuring OPNsense as a VPN client towards the provider. Any limitations depend on the VPN provider.
No need to mess with other services, unless you go with a provider that uses Wireguard in which case you should create a new tunnel.
Hi,
Well this is the problem. I am not sure how to do that.
If there is a relevant guide it would help.
I guess I will first have to choose the provider and find out what protocol is in use from his side.
Thanks for your time.
