I am making this form to get some guidence, ive tried for quite awhile trying offical and even nonoffical guides on how to setup a transparent firewall.
however when i try testing my firewall by trying to block all internet access by making a firewall rule on my bridge interface. it does not block.
I was first running opnsense in a virtual machine. i thought that was the problem. so i installed it on a seprate system however it still does not work.
it like the opnsense is just bridging my wan and lan together without inspecting traffic.
My setup is like this
ISP router (Bridge mode) -> Opnsense firewall -> Home Google wifi router.
if i dont put it in the "transparent firewall mode" or whatever you actually call it. it works. however i then have a problem. Double NAT.
So is their any way that i could use opn sense with my existing router. however just making opnsense just act as a firewall and nothing else?
