How to access Hitron CODA56 modem admin page

[simdim]

Finaly got Hitron CODA56  admin/stats page working from behind Opensense.

Modem only responds to https://192.168.100.1/home/html from the same network.

Solution:
Create virtual IP on the interface facing the modem.
Create Outgoing NAT to the Modem
Create LAN allow rule - it is critical not to specify gateway in the rule

An even easier way to do this:

System -> Routes: Add a new static route (the + button) with the following settings

Network Address: 192.168.100.1/32
Gateway: WAN

Hit save and the apply the change.

[...]
Gateway: WAN

I'm trying to do exactly this. However, the "Gateway" dropdown only has my ipv4 and ipv6 loopback addresses, and my public ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Is this right?

Note: it doesn't work, so I wonder if I'm missing something else? My FW is deny all by default, so would I need additional rules?

So here's how to do this, and yes, it does work 100% as of 2024-09-20.  For this, I'm using OPNsense 24.1.10_3

First, create a Virtual IP on your WAN Interface

1. Interfaces -> Virtual IPs -> Settings
2. Click the {+} button
3. Enter the following...
... Mode: IP Alias
... Interface: WAN
... Network / Address: 192.168.100.2/30
... Description: Hitron CODA56 [Xfinity, Cable Modem]
4. Click the [Save] button.
5. Click the [Apply] button.

Next, create a Hybrid NAT Outbound rule.  This will need to be the first rule applied, before all others.

1. Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound
2. By default, 'Mode' will be set to "Automatic outbound NAT rule generation".  Change it to "Hybrid outbound NAT rule generation"
3. Click the [Save] button.
4. Click the {+} button under 'Manual rules'
5. Enter the following...
... Interface: WAN
... TCP/IP Version: IPv4
... Source port: any
... Destination address: [Single host or network], [192.168.100.1], [32]
... Destination port: any
... Translation / target: [192.168.100.2 (Hitron CODA56 [Xfinity, Cable Modem])
... Description: Hitron CODA56 Admin Page
6. Click the [Save] button.
7. Click the [Apply] button.

Now, navigate to https://192.168.100.1/ in your web browser.

There's no log in, as this is all handled by Comcast.  You'll have the 'System Information', 'DOCSIS WAN' and 'LAN Port Status' tabs.

Hi!

Thanks for sharing this solution. Worked for me to get access to Arris Surfboard S34 admin page.
