23.7 Legacy Series / Re: Access Webgui from different subnet

Of course! If nothing is plugged into LAN the interface is down and the IP address not reachable

dude, that was it!!  i didn't realize that the interface goes down if nothing is plugged into it. 

I use all managed Cisco switches on my main network.  I am just trying to slowly move my config from Pfsense to Opnsense.  I have a mini pc running Opnsense with an old unifi AP connected to it.  I just wanted to be able to wirelessly login to Opnsense wifi and slowly work on setting up all my stuff without having a wire dangling across my room for my kids or dog to trip on.  I will just leave a switch plugged into it for the meantime.

thanks again, i am embarrased to say how much time i spent on this!!

couldn't figure out how to download the logs so i just took a screenshot of it.  This is the laptop continuously trying to ping the firewall.  This is successful only when my other laptop is plugged into the lan.

yes I can connect to it directly.

something very weird.  I connected a laptop at 192.168.20.30 and setup a continuous ping to 192.168.10.1 and it was working. At the time I had my other laptop connected to the lan and it was getting an ip of 192.168.10.14. as soon as I disconnect my laptop from the Lan, the ping from the other laptop fails.  when I plug my laptop back to the lan, the ping works again. its acting like I am pinging the other laptop but I am actually pinging the 192.168.10.1 ip.

what setting is wrong here?

i was just trying to make a wide open rule to at least let me ping between subnets.   I also disabled all the ipv6 on my network as i thought that may be part of the problem.  In pfsense, i thought i just made a rule that allowed my laptop to any and it worked right away.  I literally worked on it for hours last night and couldn't get it working, lol.

23.7 Legacy Series / (solved) Access Webgui from different subnet

« on: November 10, 2023, 10:00:14 pm »

Hey guys, new here, coming from PFsense.

I am trying to access the webgui (192.168.10.1) from my laptop (192.168.20.14).  Is there anything more i need than firewall rules from 192.168.20.0 to any?  i cannot connect.

any help would be appreciated.
