I want to install OpnSense on a MoBo with 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi to use as a secondary WAN or, alternatively, as a basic Access Point to which other APs will connect using VLANs.
i3 CPU and 8GB RAM.
WAN1 is a FTTC 100/20 Mb
What do you think?

Thank you for the heads up. In newer versions of OPNsense, you have to enable the checkbox "Show community plugins".

Although I have to check if that plugin is even needed anymore. Maybe check it this afternoon.

It does not work.

The Github link on the other hand, links to a bash script that I wrote. It was written solely for deSEC.io
How to install it on OPNsense is here: https://github.com/jameskimmel/deSEC_DynDNS#prepare-on-opnsense

Install os-bind in the webGUI under System -> Firmware -> Plugins

But os-bind isn't available

The IPv6 from Duckdns finally arrived; nothing for IPV4.

Instead, about dedyn.io:

• I don't understand where and how to install the DeSec.io plugin in OPNSense.
• How do I configure it in os_ddclient without this plugin?

I've always worked with IPv4 and still prefer it.
I know my ISP's main IP is v6, and I don't want v4 to be a stretch.
In any case, I'm not receiving any v4 or v6 DDNS from either DuckDNS or Dedyn.io.
How should I configure the rules and interface?

With my internet connection I received a router that assigns me two dynamic IPs, IPV6 and IPV4.
IPV4 is quite stable because it seems to only change when the router is rebooted.
IPV6, instead, always changes at midnight and, I think, even during the day.
So, I created two accounts on DuckDNS and Dedyn.io.
There's no DDNS setting on the router.
However, no matter how hard I try in OpnSense, I can't get an IP address to assign Let's Encrypt certificates for an internal NAS.
At this point, the problem is either the ISP or a misconfigured firewall.
I also looked at guides for configuring the WAN interface with IPv6, but I'm holding off to avoid creating a mess because I know very little about IPv6.
I've now reset OpnSense to its default configuration, meaning there are no WAN or LAN rules.
OpnSense is version 26.1.6, and the only plugins installed are OS-ddclient and os-isc-dhcp.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ho una linea con il router MySky e al momento non posso cambiarlo.
Mi vengono assegnati IPV6 e IPV4.
IPV4 è abbastanza stabile perché sembrerebbe che cambia solo riavviando il router.
IPV6, invece, mi cambia sempre a mezzanotte e secondo me anche durante il giorno.
Ho creato due account su DuckDNS e su DeDyn.io.
Però per quanti sforzi faccia non riesco a ricevere un IP per poter farmi assegnare dei certificati Let's Encrypt.
A questo punto o il problema è in Sky oppure è nel firewall.
Nel router non mi pare ci sia una impostazione per DDNS.
Il firewall per il momento è ancora nella versione di default, quindi senza regole in WAN.
Ho guardato delle guide anche per configurare l'interfaccia WAN con IPv6, ma mi fermo per non creare pasticci che che IPv6 la conosco pochissimo de non niente.
OpnSense è alla versione 26.1.6 e gli unici plugin installati sono OS-ddclient e os-isc-dhcp.

Grazie in anticipo per l'aiuto.

I would like some advice for this configuration.
I installed OPNsense (updated to 25.1. 1) on my old PC with Mini-ITX MoBo that has 2 NICs.
I use re0 for LAN and re1 for WAN.
The CPU is a Celeron 847 1.10GHz (2 cores, 2 threads). 8GB RAM
The disk is a Crucial 120GB SSD.

I expect the use to be limited because for a home environment where there are only 2 people.
There is no professional use or online gaming.
There will be only two PCs mainly for surfing the Internet.
I want to activate two TrueNAS SCALE for backup.
There are 3 smartphones and tablets.
Then there are: 1 Alexa, 2 IoT devices, 1 SmartTV. All of this is currently connected directly to the router, therefore upstream of the firewall.

My idea is to connect the NIC re0 to a small manageable switch to create 4 VLANs on re0 (LAN, DMZ, Home and Guest).
Then connecting an Access Point to the switch that can manage the VLANs and then connect everything that is currently on the router.

Then I wanted to install Zenarmor (free).

Considering that the Internet is now between 90 and 110 Mbs I was tempted to connect WAN to an ethernet adapter for USB 2.0 (max 100Mbs) thus freeing Re1 for DMZ.
However, I saw that for OPNsense it is an unstable connection and it was lost very often.

There is also a 320GB HDD mounted on the PC that I did not use in the installation and I was also wondering if it could be useful or if I should remove it.

Currently OPNSense is connected to only one PC used for the installation.

Do you think all this makes sense?
