General Discussion / Re: Issue with connecting VM to Internet

Hi Demusman, thank you for reply...

I did what you said, I reset the OPNsense to factory defaults and stated from begining. I left the default settings and yes, I was able to connect to Internet from LAN, thank you for the tip.

However, the WAN interface was configured via DHCP, when I set fixed IP config with manually added gateway for WAN, I lost the connection to Internet again.

After some playing, I found out that for WAN interface I must explicitly set the gateway in the WAN configuration, previously it was set to Auto-Detect and this was it was not working.

Anyway, thank you very mush, problem solved.
Cheers!

General Discussion / Issue with connecting VM to Internet

« on: February 12, 2023, 05:08:13 pm »

Hello all
After lot of searching and trying I decided to ask for help on this forum.

In short, I have VMware Worstation installed on my desktop PC (Linux Mint21) and there I have VM OPNsense and another VM "TestVM" in different subnet. The problem is that I cannot connect VM "TestVM" to internet.

I'll try to put here as much details as possible to have clear picture of the environment (please see attacment).

Router IP: 192.168.0.1
Desktop PC (physical): 192.168.0.100/24

VMware Workstation 16 PRO:
vmnet0 - Bridge: 192.168.0.0/24
vmnet8 - Host-Only: 192.168.1.0/24

OPNSense:
WAN interface connected to vmnet0 (Bridge), IP: 192.168.0.254/24, GW: 192.168.0.1
LAN interface connected to vmnet8 (Host-Only), : IP: 192.168.1.254/24

VM "TestVM":
IP: 192.168.1.6/24
GW: 192.168.1.254

I'm accessing the OPNsense management GUI on IP 192.168.1.254.

I created rule to pass from LAN to WAN and vice versa, played with gateways on LAN interface, I cannot get it to work.
I can ping the TestVM from my desktop PC - 192.168.0.100 -> 192.168.1.6.
I can ping the my desktop PC from TestVM - 192.168.1.6 -> 192.168.0.100.

However, I cannot ping the router from TestVM: 192.168.1.6 -> 192.168.0.1. Here in FW logs I see that the traffic is allowed, but I'm not getting ping response.
Also I cannot ping the OPNsense WAN interfase from my desktop PC (192.168.0.100 -> 192.168.0.254) and aslo from the router (192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.254 (same subnet)

I cannot figure it out what I'm doing wrong, so I really appreciate some help/advice.
Thank you in advance.
