Title: Easy Way to Access modem while in bridge mode.
Post by: Davesworld on January 16, 2018, 08:56:48 am

Hello folks! After reading various methods of people trying to access their modem while the modem is bridged as a dumb modem (You DO want to let OPNsense do it's job after all) I came up with quite a simple way that involves only one addition, adding an alias to the wan using the same subnet as the modem's ip, I used a mask of 30 since only the first three ip addresses in the subnet are needed.

Note that I am going through the proxy via browser as this is a secondary machine. I have not moved my primary edge appliance to OPNsense yet but will soon. This holds up after reboots and works every time.
