General Discussion / IPV6 setup problem

« on: November 16, 2024, 08:39:47 pm »

I have two separate WAN interfaces set to TRACK INTERFACE for IPV6 but I can only set 0 as the PREFIX ID for one of them.
I also wanted to set the LAN to TRACK INTERFACE but can't for the same reason.
How do I get around this?

General Discussion / newbie IPV4 vs IPV6 question

« on: November 16, 2024, 04:47:49 am »

Hello,
I am trying to set up a new opnsense box with dual WAN.
I noticed that the default WAN had both IPV4 and IPV6 support enabled, so I did the same for the second WAN.
I don't know if the two ISPs use IPV6 or not, so I enabled both in case they do.
Now, in all subsequent configs relating to the interfaces, IPV6 is now associated with the interface.
I also notice I now have 3 gateways (how did I end up with an extra one):
WAN_DHCP6 protocol IPV6 priority 256 description INTERFACE WAN_DHCP6 GATEWAY
WAN2_DHCP6 protocol IPV6 priority 256 description INTERFACE WAN2_DHCP6 GATEWAY
and WAN_GW protocol IPV4 priority defunct description WAN GATEWAY
Does opnsense fall back to IPV4 if no IPV6 is detected?
I saw a setting somewhere about having LAN track the interface, but with dual-WAN load balancing, how would I assign a single interface?
Can the network handle both IPV4 and IPV6 simultaneously if one ISP is on IPV4 and the other IPV6?

General Discussion / newbie stuck on multi-wan

« on: November 16, 2024, 01:19:02 am »

Hello,
I need to add a second WAN to my new opnsense setup.
I googled the topic and also referenced https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html
But all of the above assume the second WAN is already configured.
I cannot find instructions to actually add the second interface and identify it as a WAN and not a LAN.
When I go to INTERFACES > ASSIGNMENTS and add an interface, there isn't a way to identify it as a WAN.
So, how does opnsense know if the data is coming or going?
Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / newbie stuck on setup

Hello,
I just received a protectli box with opnsense installed.
I set my own hostname and domain and DNS and took the defaults on the rest
I set the LAN IP ADDRESS to 192.168.2.1 to deconflict with another LAN and set a new root password.
The web GUI said it was going to reset but now nothing answers 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1.
I am stuck.
