Title: Setup issues with new OPNSense PC
Post by: Ratfink on October 21, 2026, 07:15:21 AM
I thought after all these years I had plenty of knowledge until I attempted this installatoin of OPNSense Software on a PC.

If anyone can help I wouldbe greatful.  even would pay for help at this point.  Just impossibly massive failure.

this is where I am at.


Even after reading instructions and reearching for weeks I cant get this to work. I also dont understand the menu enough to figure out where some of this above metnioned info is supposed to go?  AI is useless as it jsut brings up old legacy menu tabs from many years ago.  I have had to reinstall 13 times.  So any help would be appreicated... 

Thanks

How's your LAN side set up? I have the Frontizon equivalent, so for the static network I use a bridge. In other words, my WAN interface is a bridge, and the physical interfaces in that subnet are members. Is that your plan?

68.94.156.1/68.94.157.1? Heh. [sbcglobal.net]. anycast, I believe. (I worked for SBC for 16 years - those are familiar. And oddly the reverse DNS is still there.)

Edit: I assume your firewall is .162. Oddly, the path from here ([tailbone.net], among others) to there flips between Vz and Cogent.
