Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on February 09, 2026, 05:52:47 PMBut LAN does have Internet access?When I first booted the system and configured it, it worked, but after a restart, it didn't.
OPNsense is not a switch. All other ports except LAN and WAN are unconfigured on a newly installed system. You need an internal switch to connect more than one device.
In case you wanted to create more isolated "LAN like" networks like a guest net, IoT, etc. - it is not sufficient to just assign interfaces, IP adresses, and configure DHCP. OPNsense comes with a global "allow all" rule on LAN, but your new interfaces don't have this. You need to explicitly create it for every additional interface.
Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on February 09, 2026, 03:19:37 PMSo no gateway entry on the LAN interface. Good, that's how it should be. So when you connect your phone to the WiFi it gets an IP address in the 172.16.10.0/24 network? And ping of 172.16.10.1 results in what exactly? What do you mean by redirect?Hello there, I'm here. I just somehow figure it out, i don't know what i just did. I just factory reset, making all again and it working(interface, dhcp). But then i have another issue, everytime system shutdown(i simulate power down) then start up again, except WAN, all other interface will not have internet access, that really weird
Can you see the phone's IP address in the leases on OPNsense?
Can you get a second PC/laptop? It would be way easier to debug this if you could do an "ipconfig /all" or equivalent on a client.

Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on February 09, 2026, 12:53:50 PMShow your LAN configuration, please. Did you add a gateway to the LAN interface? Your AP perhaps?This is my LAN configuration: https://ibb.co/vxn1GmMh
Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on February 09, 2026, 12:23:23 PMIs the AP possibly in router mode and runs its own DHCP server? Better try a wired connection with a PC first.No, it's running in bridge mode, i also turn off dhcp server, i want to running with pc but if i do that then i can't have pppoe because i only have one laptop, i don't wanna mesh with wan config
Quote from: Karla on February 09, 2026, 11:17:38 AMHow does you setup look like ?My setup:
My home network looks as follows:
Modem/router -> OPNsense -> router.
And the DNS server of OPNsense is the modem/router.
Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on February 09, 2026, 11:16:06 AMOK so by "my LAN interface has no Internet access" you mean clients connected to your LAN interface don't? Do you have a switch connected to LAN or did you plug in a PC directly into the firewall port?That's what I mean. I connected my LAN to the access point (AP) and used my phone to connect to that AP. When I ping 172.16.10.1, it redirects to 172.16.10.2 (AP IP), and when I ping 8.8.8.8, all attempts fail.
Does that client get an IP address and a default gateway via DHCP? Can you ping 172.16.10.1 from the client? Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from the client?
Quote from: Karla on February 09, 2026, 10:09:42 AMPerhaps, no DHCP server is set.I don't think so. The LAN interface is connected to an access point (AP), and when connecting to that AP, it's assigned the correct IP address. And of course, I've disabled the AP's DHCP server.
Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on February 09, 2026, 09:17:21 AMWhat do you mean by the LAN interface accessing the Internet? When WAN is not connected to your uplink but to s simulated PPPoE server you do not have Internet access. The OPNsense firewall goes between the Internet and your LAN and accesses the Internet via WAN. Clients on your LAN access the Internet *through* the firewall.That's not the case. I'm using a simulated PPPoE server, and that server is internet-enabled. I'm saying I can ping 8.8.8.8 through the OpnSense interface, right? Clearly, that proves my PPPoE server is accessible. The reason I'm using a simulated PPPoE server is because I don't want my network to be down for too long during the transition, as I've already configured almost everything with the simulated PPPoE.
