General Discussion / Second LAN OPT2 no WAN access
« on: November 16, 2024, 10:15:53 pm »
I am running on a mini PC with four NICs, one is WAN, the second is my main LAN, and the other two have gone unused. This has been running flawlessly for quite a few years now and I am very happy with OPNSense. The time has come to expand things and I want to create a second, totally separate LAN using one of the extra ports. I created the OPT2 interface and managed to get DHCP working with it, problem is I can't seem to access the internet from this LAN.
All the guides and posts I keep coming up with are about bridging LANs or traversing ports. This is not what I want, I want the LANs to be totally separate and no co-mingling of traffic. What am I missing here, seems like it should be simple, yet I can't quite get it to work.
