Tutorials and FAQs / setting up firewall and other steps after install
« on: February 04, 2021, 01:18:36 am »
So I know this has probably been asked before but I couldnt find such a simple question in the seach bar.
I am new to Opnsense haveing just upgraded from Pihole and an ISP router. I got through installation reasonably easily with just some small issues around interface assignment in Point to Point and making the right port my WAN interface. I have also been able to replicate Pihole ad blocking with the unbound blacklists.
So I would like o know what the next step is? Do I now need to create firewall rules or am I already protected with the defaults and if not what is reccomeneded? I would also like to set up a VPN is OpenVPN or Wireguard reccomended?
What are other preoples first things to set up on a clean install for a home network?
