Title: Where To Start Once Installed?
Post by: RoscoQ on September 17, 2023, 01:54:33 AM

Hi there newbie to OPNsense.
I have the software installed on my hard drive for my router.
No issues there and the system boots to a dos type screen for OPNsense.
Keyboard Mouse, all seem to be recognized so no hardware issues so far.

But after login it, on the dos screen. I get lost on what its asking me to answer.
As it stops asking yes and no.

Before I go to far is there a place where a break down of the setup screen is?
I am not new to Pcs. But this angle I have never ventured into.
I feel like I am missing something, but I was not able to find this specifically what the setup once installed and past the password occurs.

Thank you, and help appreciated.

Did you check the installation steps outlined here ?

A Youtube search for OPNsense install will return some useful videos worth watching.

Hi there,
Yes was one of the first places. I have checked videos online and not finding where they are explained.
Been studying OPNSENSE for the last two week to move forward.
But not finding much, on once its installed.
