i am still struggling with this as whenever i create the bridge opnsense is no longer accessible?

Thanks very much for the reply.

I set my router to bridge earlier, but when i follow the steps in the opnsense transparent bridge tutorial as SOON as i bridge WAN and LAN it throws me out of opensense gui and i cannot get back at all.  the bridge step is only step 4 i think it was out of 10.... :(

i must be missing something.

Good day,

Thank you kindly for your reply.

If I may ask, why would it not work for traffic shaping?

What would my setup need to be should i want to run traffic shaping & caching proxy?

I have managed to get it working somewhat, however...when i create the bridge as per the transparent bridge tutorial it bombs and i no longer have access to the GUI.

If i set my adsl router to bridge mode must i create dialup in windows or opnsense?

Any advise would be welcome.

Is anyone able to assist me please to understand the VMware network config and pc config for 2 nics?

Hi all,

I am struggling to setup a 2 NIC opnsense VMWARE setup.  I'm running VMware Workstation in windows.

Firstly, I am not 100% sure what the network adapter settings must be in VMWARE - bridge/nat/host etc.  I am also confused with what my windows ip settings must be in order to get this to work.  Do I bridge the two NIC's in windows?

I have the desktop pc with 2 NIC as seen in attached diagram.  I want the WAN side to connect to adsl router 192.168.10.1.  I then want to run opnsense transparently so that I can shape traffic etc going to the wireless router 192.168.10.200.  the wireless router will then provide net access through opnsense to my clients.

PLEASE can someone help me as I am quite confused with the IP address and adapter setup.

I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,
Quintin
