17.7 Legacy Series / Transparent bridge - unable to reach internet (nor GUI anymore)
« on: August 11, 2017, 12:29:59 pm »
Hi All,
I'm having a bit of a problem setting up a transparent firewall (eventually for IPS). I followed the instructions here: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/transparent_bridge.html and was able to create the bridge. I also added my upstream router (which provides dhcp) as a gateway and added that to the bridge settings. Initially I was able to log into the web GUI from desktops downstream of the firewall, but wasn't able to reach the internet. After a reboot, I was no longer able to reach the GUI from downstream desktops. I'm not sure what I e dong wrong, but this has happened twice now. Is there anything different with 17.7 as the guide I'm following was originally for 15. I have searched for the answer and returned this post: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=5162.0 but so far I haven't been able to fix it. Any hints, tips or tricks I'm missing?
Many thanks
