Thanks coffeecup25.That is what I thought. I will do more research and give it another try. Thankfully OPNsense has Snapshots so that when I break it I can get it back to functioning without having to swap out the box while I nuke and pave and try again from scratch.

I have tried PFsense and OpenWRT on the Sophos box but I found the UI of OPNsense to be best out of the 3. OpenWRT is what I used for the first 4 months after buying the Sophos box but when I broke OpenWRT and I could not get it to install correctly a second time I thought it was time to try something else.

I did read over that entire HOWTO but it doesn't match up to the current GUI. There is no "General DNS Resolver Options" anymore that I can find under Unbound General settings. And under Firewall NAT there is no longer anything mentioned about "Port Forward". So my guess would be at some point with the later interactions of OPNsense they change/moved/renamed things that just do not line up with all the instruction that I have come across on here or YouTube or Reddit... etc....

New to OPNsense. I have a  Sophos XG 115 with newly installed OPNsense 26.1.1 and I installed mimugmail 1.16 Adguardhome. All of the tutorial's online and here in the forums have outdated info that does not line up with what the GUI looks like today so I am not sure that I got everything setup correctly but I do have access to the internet so at least I didn't break that... yet. I think the only thing I might be missing is DNS port forwarding that is mention in some tutorials which I can only find Query Forwarding under Unbound. There is also a Dnsmasq DNS & DHCP section under Services which I have not a clue about. If there are newer tutorials that I missed that someone could point me to that would be helpful.

Thank you for that link, yes after I looked into it more and found this online guide: install I realized the error.

For future me:

Just follow the guide but use igb2 for WAN and igb1 for LAN and all will be right as rain!.

I did a fresh install and it boots up just fine and it assigns 192.168.1.1/24 to LAN (igb0) and also says Starting web GUI... done. but I can't ping the lan port or access the GUI on 192.168.1.1 I have my computer set to static IP 192.168.1.144 and have even tried setting the lan port to another ip addess but it will not let me in. WAN shows (igb1) but I am wondering if the Ver3 is messing up the port assignments? 

Just getting started on this new project. Just received the XG 115w and need to set it up for fiber connection from living room to office. Ready to purchase the 10m(30ft) cable and Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter, SingleMode Dual LC Fiber to Ethernet RJ45 Converter from Amazon but I also need to get the SFP SMF 1310-nm Module for the Sophos shared port on the back and want to try and get one that is plug and play with OPNsense... if one exists. Completely new to all this but I am a retired IT guy so I know enough to be dangerous. Any help, pointers, links, etc, greatly appreciated!

Equipment list:Firwall: Sophos XG 115, AP: Omada BE11000 (POE), Fiber to Ethernet: SODOLA Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter, Cable: 10m(30ft) OS2 LC to LC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable
