General Discussion / OPNsense IN FRONT of router
« on: November 25, 2022, 09:57:44 am »
Right now I'm just wanting to setup OPNsesne between my computer and the router that gives my computer an Internet connection. My router is an Asus AC68u flashed with Asus Merlin and I have added the OPNsense MAC address from its LAN port to use a unique IP address outside of DHCP for the LAN port of the router. So in essence a static IP I guess you can call this for OPNsense's LAN port.
Setup goes fine at first but after a while I can't access the browser config for OPNsense at 192.168.1.1 on the OPNsense LAN port and I never do get Internet access even after creating some basic pass through WAN/LAN rules in OPNsense. The OPNsense WAN port is where I have the router plugged into from the router's LAN. AM I looking at setting this up in some kind of bridge mode due to the way I want to set this up right now with the router BEFORE the firewall? I saw this tutorial. Are these all the steps I need to follow or something else?
A quick topology of what I have here.
Modem is of course in bridge mode and always has, but this isn't my concern here. It's the router to firewall I'm having an issue with.

WAN - LAN --> WAN - LAN -->
INTERNET ---> MODEM ---> ROUTER ---> OPNsense ---> MY COMPUTER.
