Title: Static IP on WAN side
Post by: kermitxyz on August 04, 2026, 05:47:24 PM
Hi

I have just changed FTTP provider and entered new username and password.  Connection is working.  I have ordered static IP.

myip.dk reports the static IP as expected (84.x.x.x)
OPNsense dashboard shows WAN gateway address as (212.x.x.x)

With the old ISP both were the same.  I cannot connect to my VPN now so I suspect something is wrong.

Any ideas please?

The gateway address is not your IP address but the one of the gateway on the other end of the WAN link. Your address is shown e.g. in the Interfaces widget.
