Hello everybody,
I decided after a long research for a opnsense installation.
Installation worked perfectly.
I am impressed by the look and feel and also the functionality.
If I got the access from Lan to the Wan I would be happy:)
So
Connection: glass fiber with fixed IP. (No DSL modem etc needed)
I have defined the gateway accordingly and also assigned the Wan interface.
The opnsense can update itself, DNS resolution within the opnsnese also works.
What amazes me: Fatal the gateway is offline.
My computer does not get internet access. (opnsense Lan is of course set as a gateway)
I can not even ping a static IP.
I once hung the Opnsense behind a Fritzbox (private with my normal DSL connection) and there via Wan with DHCP .. functions flawlessly.
Do I still need to define a rule from Lan to Wan with Gateway?
If someone could help me, I would be very grateful.
Best regards
Peter

Which device is providing the fibre connection, and which method does it use to assign network settings? If the WAN uses an RFC 1918 IP address, you will need to allow these. They are not allowed by default.

Hallo Bart,
a router behind the opnsense provides the fibre connection.
the router has an static ip and delivers an own public ip for us.
The router has the 212.xxx.xxx.153
our opnsense the .154
I do not think that it is an RFC1918 IP ?

No, it's not. What's the size of the public subnet? Is the router set as the default gateway or is there another device further upstream?

now it works with.
In our old router or firewall I had entered the fixed IP data at the Wan interface.
Has worked wonderfully.
SO I have also configured the opnsense.
Now after a fresh installation the WAN interface was still on DHCP ... And suddenly I see that I have traffic on the WAN.
I have to talk to our provider, their router assigns our public IP via DHCP ...
