General Discussion / Internet access problems
March 08, 2026, 09:52:36 AM
Hi all,
This learning curve is a lot steeper than I expected. It's been almost three weeks now that I have been trying to get things setup but I still don't have internet access. The system is as follows,
bare metal installation of Opnsense on a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 with a HP NC365T 4 port Ethernet adapter giving a total of five interfaces, em0 WAN, ibg1 LAN, igb2 MGMT, igb0 & 3 SPARE. At present the spare interfaces have not been enable but may be assigned to LAGG in the future. The Vlans have igb2 as their parent and are vlan 10 TRUSTED, vlan 20 IOT, vlan 30 GUESTS, vlan 40 SECURITY, vlan 50 DMZ, vlan 60 STORAGE, vlan 99 MGMT. The same vlans are setup in a Cisco 3750G switch. There is a second HP Elitedesk 800 G4 with a bare metal installation of Proxmox but at the moment I have left it turned off. When I check the Firewall/Log Files/Live View all the entries are green, but they are all Interface WAN Out UDP. Would this indicate that the Internet access problem is not being caused by OPNsense?

Hi All, I'm very new to OPNsense & I realise it's going to be a step learn curve so please forgive my if the questions are basic.
I have completed a bare metal installation of OPNsense 25.7-amd64, FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p1, OpenSSL 3.0.17 on a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 i7-7700 3.6GHz with 16 Gb of Ram. The system also has a HP NC365T 4-port Ethernet Adapter, making a total of five network ports. This is where the first issue has developed.
My intention is to use the MB NIC as the WAN port and one of the HP NICs as the LAN. I have tried several times with the MB NIC but every time I restart OPNsense the WAN information on the start up screen is blank. The first time I moved the WAN to one of the spare HP NICs it worked as expected.

With a bare metal installation is there any way to confirm that the MB NIC has the correct drivers installed and that it is functioning correctly?
