Hello
I'm brand new to OPNSense I've just migrated from pfSense and i'm having a very hard time understanding these firewall rules.
I want to block my IoT devices (firewall alias, single host for testing at the moment) from accessing the Internet (i was able to setup a !inverse block rule on LAN to do this), but I can't seem to figure out how to allow the IoT devices access to/from OpenVPN clients.
I feel like i've tried every rule possible, and i'm clearly missing something. I've done a fair amount of searching and I didn't find any posts with this issue.
Any suggestions?
/edit/
I was able to solve this by adding an alias for RFC 1918 Private Networks with the following networks and updating the inverse destination to that alias.
10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/12
192.168.0.0/16
One of the IoT devices I was testing with was an IP Camera and the app I was using wasn't properly configured and was trying to access the WAN IP which was preventing this from working.
Here is the working rule
