[Solved] USB 4G Dongle

[CommonSense]

OPNSense noob here.
I hear that OPNSense needs 2 NIC's for its operation.

My setup is a
USB 4G dongle - this will be my primary and only connection to the internet, this will be connected to the OPNSense installed comptuer with a USB cable.
1 NIC on motherboard - this will be connected to the LAN switch.

Will this setup be OK for OPNSense to function, can it configure the USB 4G dongle for internet and only 1 NIC for LAN.

I intend to use OPNSense as a web proxy (caching) and firewall.

Depends on the stick how it is implemented and if there is a supported FreeBSD driver.

When I insert the dongle  in a Windows 7 PC it appears as a "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device".

I just installed OPNSense and it works as expected.
4G dongle for internet and 1 network interface for LAN.
