General Discussion / Setup for home
« on: October 25, 2017, 04:33:37 pm »
Hi
I have recently acquired an OPNsense appliance for my home network.
My setup will be: Internet -> Fiber modem -> OPNsense FW -> Router -> LAN.
My Router is an ASUS rt-ac68u - how should I configure this device, so that I am able to create (OPNsense) firewall rules based on the originating client(s) from the LAN:
- Will NAT need to be disabled on the WAN-interface (of the router)?
- and should I disable the built-in firewall?
- any other things I should look out for?
Regards,
Soren

- The router will control DHCP, Wireless, and internal routing.
- OPNsense appliance will control FW rules, VPN-server (and other services).
