Hello,

my next project is to block subsequently unwanted Computers.
The clients in the LAN-Area get the DHCP-IP from my OpnSense Firewall.
At certain intervals I would like to look in the DHCP Logfile or DHCP list, which unwanted Client got an DHCP-IP.
If I see for example an Android-Smartphone, then I want to block subsequently.

Is this realisable ?

Could you please tell me where I have to make the necessary adjustments?

Hello wurmloch, hello bartjsmit

ok I started the wizard again. And suddenly it works.
I suppose, that my gateway settings, which I made yesterday was wrong.
But now it works.

Thanks to both of you for your help!

Hello Bartjsmit,

thank you for your answer.
But in my imagination it is illogical, why I should change my fritzbox static route and / or set to bridging-mode.
I say that, because back then I used the linux-firewall ipcop. And there I didin´t changed the fritzbox settings.
At ipcop I installed two networkcards too and setting up the same settings like in opnsense and it did worked.

Hello!

Iam a newbie with OpnSense. My Firewall experience was as yet with Ipcop. It is a linux based firewall.

Today I installed OpnSense 16.7-amd64 with two network cards (WAN and LAN).

This is my test environment:
Provider (Fritzbox/Gateway) -------WAN-OpnSense-LAN--------CLIENTS

The IPs are:
Fritzbox  (Gateway)  = 192.168.1.1 (Static)
WAN OpnSense        = 192.168.1.11 (DHCP from Fritzbox)
LAN OpnSense          = 192.168.0.1 (Static)
Clients get IPs from DHCP-range 192.168.0.10 < 192.168.0.250

After this installation, I can go the internet. Perfect!
But if I change the WAN-OpnSense IP from DHCP to static (in 192.168.1.250), then I have no Internet.

I think I must entry the DNS and Gateway IP manually. But I see so many settings and I couldn´t find the settings for this two IPs. I was unsure and I tried something, but it didn´t worked.

Could you tell me please, where I type the rest settings exactly in OpnSense?
