Quote from: mikes91 on January 17, 2026, 02:02:07 AMI use Verizon 5G Home Internet and their XCI55AX cell router. My journey to OPNsense started when I decided I wanted to use Pi-hole but the XCI55AX router will not allow the end user to change the DNS settings, so what I must do is put their router in passthrough mode and use my own router instead.
If anyone has already done this, I would appreciate whatever you are willing to share regarding the appropriate configuration settings. I've gotten as far as installing OPNsense VM on my Proxmox installed mini-pc (a Beelink SER5 Ryzen 7 5825U) and poking around a bit to get oriented.
Any and all advice/pointers will be appreciated.

It fills in a missing feature people coming from consumer routers like Fritzbox got used to and frequently demanded: show an overview of all devices in my network.
More useless garbage that we didn't ask for..... Why can't this be a plugin that those folks can install separately and not brick our routers.... I have a 16Gig hostwatch log this morning, lose gui, forced to restart to recover... Definitely not a professional group here....
I don't think that's fair to say as it was a popular request. I believe that it's not a plugin because it's developed by the opnsense team and you can simply disable it. With all that said it probably could have shipped disabled by default.
I manage a few personal firewalls across a few locations and I always read the change log and forums before updating so I knew to look out for this potential issue. Perhaps you should consider doing that in the future.
