Hi there,

i want to use ZenArmor on my Home Firewall. On this Firewall i have LAN (igb8) and WAN (igb9) and multiple vlans (vlan.xx) on igb8.

But ZenArmor doesn't support to mix vlans and interfaces - so i have to change the two interfaces to vlans. But there are many rules ans settings on the two interfaces.

That's why i want to ask, how is the easiest way to change from an interface to an vlan?

Or is the only way

  • move the LAN address (interface) to an other address in an unused network
  • Create the VLAN
  • Change every rules and setting manually to the new (vlan-)interface

Thanks a lot for your support.

Create the VLAN on igb8. Move the assignment of "LAN" from igb8 to that VLAN. Change your switch. Probably best to reboot OPNsense. Done.

No need to change WAN/igb9 - Zenarmor is for internal networks, not your uplink.
