General Discussion / Transparent firewall bridge question
« on: March 19, 2023, 04:59:39 pm »
I reviewed the article here: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/transparent_bridge.html
and have a question I hope someone can answer. I want to place this in front of another router with its own public ip address and still have the OPNsense firewall have a public ip address too. Do I assign the OPNsense public ip address the management interface of the bridge and just firewall restrict it for security? I wasn’t sure from the article if this setup was really meant to go behind a router instead of in front of it.
Basically I have three routers that need a filtering firewall in front of them without NAT. Anyone know? And thanks in advance.
