Hardware and Performance / OPNSENSE: FACTORY RESET
« on: March 04, 2024, 11:52:47 am »
Hello everyone,
I am new to OPNsense hardware/firewall and I would wish to get some help
Scope of Work
• Deployment and implementation of the FW in transparent filtering bridge
• Implement IPS, application and web filtering.
• Installation of Next generation firewall Plugin Zenarmor
I followed the guidelines on creating transparent bridge and the following was configured, however, I lost GUI access to the firewall after completing the below.
• Outbound NAT rule disabled.
• Changed system Tuneables (net.link.brdge.pfil_bridge set 1 , net.link.brdge.pfil_member set 0)
• Bridge (Brdige0) created and assigned LAN and WAN interfaces to the bridge.
• Assigned management IP to the bridge.
• Disabled Block private networks & bogon.
• Disabled the DHCP server on LAN.
• Disabled Default Anti Lockout Rule
• LAN and WAN interface set type to ‘none.’
Bridge_Interface (bridge0) -> v4: 192.168.20.5/24
LAN (igb0) ->
WAN (igb1) ->
The bridge has an IP assigned as above, but for some unknow reasons I cant access the firewall via that IPv4 address.
NOTE: Currently no access to the FW via GUI, only accessible via USB console cable. Is there a way I can reset the appliance back to factory defaults and perhaps do reconfiguration.
Thank you, Mike
