Then I see no reason why this shouldn't work. It's just basic routing.

Could you elaborate? Or point to some info how it might be done? Very much a novice here, so any help welcome.

Do you statically configure these addresses directly on the hosts that use them? Or do you want to (S)NAT them?

Yes, that is exactly what we have been doing. Each has its own IP wan address. (All from the same range)

Thanks for the reply.

General Discussion / Passthrough for Wan IP's

« on: January 26, 2024, 01:31:06 pm »

Hi, not very good at explaining, hopefully someone is able to help.
I have a range of IP addresses available from my ISP. Of which I used with a Mikrotic, it had PPPOE bridge, which allowed me to connect equipment on specific external IP addresses. My trusty old Mikrotik is really end of life, and my new fibre connection is just too fast for it.
Can I use Opnsense to do the PPPOE connection? And share / support the external wan addresses with the other devices? Whiles still using the Opnsense as my own firewall router for my local lan?

Hope that makes sense, but this is all a grey area for me.

Virtual private networks / removing / revoking certificates openvpn

Hello
I have made a total mess of the installation of Openvpn. Is there a quick and dirty way to remove all the certificates to attempt a clean start / install?

Thanks

Virtual private networks / Suffering from a basic understanding of alias

« on: May 10, 2021, 04:27:25 pm »

Please bear with my, I am partially sighted and managed to read my wayn thorugh the WireGuard install.
However there is one part I am totally confused about, and that is this:-

The final piece is to allow traffic from the WireGuard network. First define an alias (e.g. VPN_clients) and include in it the IP addresses (e.g. 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.3) or subnet (e.g. 10.10.10.0/24) of the WireGuard clients from which traffic is to be allowed. Do this via Firewall ‣ Aliases (click + in the bottom right).

When I create and alias, it askes for type? Then content? have tried newtork and then the IP's, but it complains they are wrong. Sorry I know this is very basic, but really frustrated and assuming I read something wrong somewhere?

Kind regards Paul.
