Hi!

I'm hoping I can get some direction on solving a bridging access problem.

Environment

I am double NATd:

  • LAN is 192.168.10.0/24
  • WAN is 10.8.0.0/24
Goal

  • I would like to create a bridge between my WAN and two machines on the LAN.  Let's say they're 10.8.0.10 and 10.8.0.11
  • I would like machines on the WAN to access the two machines on the LAN via their respective IP:  10.8.0.10 and 10.8.0.11
  • From within my LAN, I'd like to access these two machines also by their 10.x.x.x addresses
  • Similar to my LAN, I'd like the same from within my OPNsense gateway
Working

To keep things simple I decided to start with one machine.

I was able to created the bridge between the old WAN interface and a VLAN to access 10.8.0.10 from the bridged WAN:  ping, ssh all work.

Not working

The following two items are not working.  :\

  • From within my LAN, I'd like to access these two machines also by their 10.x.x.x addresses
  • Similar to my LAN, I'd like the same from within my OPNsense gateway

My gut tells me that I need to implement some NATing.

Any tips on what I should research?   All hints welcomed!  :)

Interfaces

  • LAN - igb0 - 192.168.10.1/24
  • WANBr - igb1
  • INT_10_NET - igb2 - 192.168.24.1/24
  • V99 - vlan 99 on igb2
  • WAN - bridge0 - V99 + WANBr - 10.8.0.7/24

It seems using OPNsense as my test VM was not a good idea.  I tried Puppy Linux and everything is working like I expect.  Phew!
