Hyper v opnsense + bridge

So pen down the settings for PPPoE, then use these settings to configure PPPoE in OPNsense  ;)

Idk the pppoe password 😬

Ask your provider or try some ISP help forum applicable to your region (Greece?) about how to extract it by "hacking" the speedport. If at all possible.

Seriously, how should anyone here know?

No I didn't ask for you to give it to me just instructions of what to do. Is it different for each router ?

Bro I can't. I used the pppoe as a protocol with the name and everything. I used it at the wan port of the opnsense. I used the speedport as bridge. I connected speedport to lan. Wan was not recognized after these settings for some reasons and there was no online indication at the router. It's so frustrating.

Bro I can't. I used the pppoe as a protocol with the name and everything. I used it at the wan port of the opnsense. I used the speedport as bridge.

That's correct. The username and password go into the WAN PPPoE configuration of OPNsense.

I connected speedport to lan.

Why? If the speedport is operating in router mode, that is of course correct. Then the setup is:

Internet line --> speedport in router mode --> LAN clients

If you want to use OPNsense the only way to connect the devices is:

Internet line --> speedport in bridge mode --> OPNsense WAN - OPNsense LAN --> LAN clients


There is no other way to make this work. What exactly do you want to achieve by replacing the speedport in router mode with bridge mode and OPNsense?

Oh he'll no. Did you just told me that I put speedport and then the firewall?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Of course!

The speedport is - if in bridge mode - a DSL modem. It converts the DSL line to Ethernet for OPNsense to use for PPPoE. I assumed this was the the case all the time because this is how it works.

[Marinoz]

Yes this was it but I used the speedport both as a router and as a bridge while trying to connect the opnsesne lan with its wan.
My problem still remains, can I achieve wlan that is PROTECTED by the firewall? Shouldn't I connect the speedport at opnsense lan interface then?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

No, you cannot. If you use the speedport as a DSL modem, you cannot use its WLAN feature. You need an additional access point connected to the LAN interface of OPNsense.

A firewall separates the "evil" Internet side of the world from your "good" home network side of the world.

All traffic needs to go through the firewall.

Internet - WAN
Home - LAN

Alternatively you could buy a separate DSL modem without WLAN, connect that to DSL and OPNsense WAN and use the speedport strictly as a WLAN access point in the "good" side of the network.


But again: what do you want to achieve by replacing the speedport in router mode with OPNsense? Internet works, right? WLAN works, right? It's reasonably secure ... so, why?

Yeah but, I've mentioned that I have the optic fiber terminal or else ont which IS  a modem basically. So ONT->opnsense->router in router mode (?) for wlan ?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

You have an ONT? I had no idea! ::) Probably overlooked.

But why are you messing with the speedport then in the first step?

Connect OPNsense WAN to ONT, connect a single PC to OPNsense LAN, configure WAN PPPoE until Internet works.
Then connect speedport as a WLAN access point in bridge mode to OPNsense LAN only.

That's what I'm trying! But it doesn't work  :-X I even used the routers Mac address bt nothing. After configuring the wan as pppoe then the wan is not recognized while it used to be. For example, it wrote WAN dhcpv4:0.0.0.0/(I don't remember what's here) but now it's just says wan and nothing else

That I do not understand. Please post screenshots of your WAN configuration.

I will but tomorrow I have ro sleep now. It says WAN pppoe0 and nothing else but when it was automatically configured it used to say WAN dhcpv4 0.0.0.0/
