General Discussion / Passthrough for Wan IP's
« on: January 26, 2024, 01:31:06 pm »
Hi, not very good at explaining, hopefully someone is able to help.
I have a range of IP addresses available from my ISP. Of which I used with a Mikrotic, it had PPPOE bridge, which allowed me to connect equipment on specific external IP addresses. My trusty old Mikrotik is really end of life, and my new fibre connection is just too fast for it.
Can I use Opnsense to do the PPPOE connection? And share / support the external wan addresses with the other devices? Whiles still using the Opnsense as my own firewall router for my local lan?
Hope that makes sense, but this is all a grey area for me.
