were you able to accomplish this? i'm in the same boat...

did you ever solve this? I'm in the same boat

just installed OPNsense on Virtualbox and while it works OK, my networks speeds have been reduced substantially with this setup.

So, I'm looking for low-cost hardware recommendations that will allow me to plug the hardware directly into the modem and serve DHCP to my LAN.

I would appreciate any recommendations!

Opnsense 23.1 Install:

1 - Activate mimugmail's community repository:

SSH Opnsense: fetch -o /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/mimugmail.conf https://www.routerperformance.net/mimugmail.conf

2 - Install AdGuardHome from System --> Firmware --> Plugins

3 - Opnsense - System - Settings -General

      DNS Servers: empty

      Untick: Do not use the local DNS service as a nameserver for this system

      Untick: Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN

4 - Services – DHCPv4 – [LAN] : DNS Servers all empty

5 – Opnsense – Services - Unbound DNS – General

       Tick: Enable Unbound ( Listen Port: 5353 )

       Tick: Enable DNSSEC Support
       
       Network Interfaces: All

6 - Opnsense - Services - Unbound - Dns Over Tls

      Server IP: 1.1.1.1

      Server Port: 853

      Verify CN: cloudflare-dns.com

7 - Activate and start AdGuardHome from Services --> AdGuardHome

8 - Navigate to http://Opnsense ip:3000/ ( 192.168.1.1:3000 ) to complete the setup Adguard

9 - Adguard Home - DNS Configuration - Upstream Servers:

      Add Opnsense ip:5353  ( 192.168.1.1:5353 ) Delete those that exist

10 – Adguard Home – DNS Configuration – Bootstrap DNS servers

      Add Opnsense ip:5353  ( 192.168.1.1:5353 ) Delete those that exist
     
11 - Adguard Home - DNS Configuration - Private reverse DNS servers:

           192.168.1.1:5353

for some reason when I followed these steps, it seemingly brought down my WAN permanently...as in, it did not recover and I had to reverse everything, including Unbound to get the WAN UP again....anybody else?
