I am also a newbie...If I were you, For testing purposes, just connect through a simple switch connected to the OPNSense box.

I would disable EVERYTHING on the X6 and just use it as an AP.

I don't have a switch handy, but I am connected directly to the OPNSense box since I have 3 LAN ports to work with.  The OPNSense box is currently connected to the modem, router, and my PC.  I've disabled everything I can, "router" mode disables NAT as well.

It sounds like you may be double NAT'd.  How is the X6 Configured?

I've tried gateway and router, DHCP disabled with static IP for the PC I'm using to interface with it.  The router and OPNSense are on the same subnet.  Gateway is set to the OPNSense router.

Should I attempt to disable NAT on the X6?

Did I answer your question, or do you need any other info?

Hello!

I'm new to the forums, and new to hardware firewalls and routing in general, and I need some serious help figuring out how to configure my equipment.

My desired network setup is this:
Cable Modem -> OPNSense (all traffic via OpenVPN to a private provider) -> Netgear X6 -> Clients (wireless & wired)

I've attempted to follow these tutorials to get this to work:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=4979.0
https://wretmo.se/2016/01/24/how-to-setup-openvpn-client-on-opnsense/
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Use_an_existing_wireless_router_with_pfSense

The issues I'm currently having, after following the tutorials, is that even though I see the VPN status is connected, none of my traffic is going over the VPN.  Worse yet, no clients behind the router have an internet connection at all.  When plugged directly into the OPNSense router, I have internet, but no traffic goes over VPN, verified via IPlocation.net.

I'm currently running DDW-RT on my Netgear X6.

Can anyone walk me through the configuration for OPNSense and DDW-RT to get this to work?  I've been trying to figure this out for about 6 hours at this point  :-[


Also,
The machine I got this morning from my friendly local parts graveyard, with a gigabit server NIC, and installed OPNSense.  Everything was verified working by the recycling center before purchase.
