Hello once again, I am making no progress in regard to connecting my OPNsense
router/firewall to the internet.
I have tried to get my OPNsense box to connect to the internet via my hotspot
which is bridged to my mobile phone, and had no success at all.
I have also connected a USB to WiFi adapter to my phone and connected
the ethernet end of the adapter to the WAN port on my OPNsense box and
have failed to make an internet connection using this method either.
I can connect the hotspot which is bridged to my mobile directly to a
computer and that computer can access the internet.
I can also connect the USB to WiFi adapter to my computer and also
rech out to the internet.
I truly have no idea why neither device when connected to my OPNsense
box's WAN port will not work.
There are so many settings under >Interfaces >WAN that I do not know wher to
start filling in the required details, or even what details are reauired.
Could someone please help me get this to work.
I connected both my USB to WiFi adapter and my Hotspot to my switch
and both allowed the devices connected to the switch to access the
internet, but this is not good as they do not go through the OPNsense
router/firewall.
But even this approach seems to only work sometimes.
I have no wired internet provider where I live, so am stuck with using
a mobile phone bridged to a hotspot which I can plug in via ethernet
cable to the OPNsense box, or similar setup using USB to WiFi adapter.
I attach the switch to the lan port on the OPNsense box and the other
devices am trying to access the internt with to the WAN port, I assume
this is the correct approach, did I at least get this right.
Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help.
