General Discussion / Hidden Webserver IP Address by OPNsense
« on: December 12, 2022, 12:46:07 am »
Hello,
New to OPNsense and so far I LOVE IT!!!!!!! In looking through the blocked traffic on my firewall log and after doing a bunch of research, it appears there is a public IP address (that I did not set) to my OPNsense firewall appliance. It begins with 96.x.x.x. I scoured through all of my devices for the IP and MAC address and finally found that it was assigned to the WAN port on my device. What is this for and how do I disable it? I have put rules in place to block all traffic to and from it because I am not comfortable with a web server IP address communicating on the open web without my knowledge.
