After following the above instructions, I am unable to download the additional plugins and IDS rules. The client connected on the LAN side of the bridge is able to connect through the WAN, so that is working.  However the baremetal device cannot connect to the internet

Ping in the webgui interface diagnostics and the shell fails with sendto: No Route to host

I am new to opnsense and fairly new to networking.

I assume that connecting to the management ip on the bridge interface is missing configuration that routes out to the WAN. Can someone help advise how I need to configure opnsense to do this? Is this an issue in the interface, the firewall, the gateways, or something else? 

Any advice is appreciated.
