Hi Jschellevis, Micky
Finally I was able to achieve what I thought, using OPNsense transparent firewall.
Thank you so much for devoting time on my requirement. Special thanks for Jschellevis for updating the documentation.
It took me more time than expected, since I was new to OPNsense and not following the documentation carefully. When creating the bridge using LAN and WAN, I couldn't access the management interface, since I used the Third interface OPT1. But after creating the bridge ( OPT2 ), I dont need the OPT1 interface at all to manage the Transperant firewall. And now I know with just Two Interfaces are suffice; and I dont have to change my IP settings or subnet of the LAN, when implementing OPNsense transparent firewall
.
I am planning to implement Ntop and Rule creation on the transparent firewall. For that I will refer the documentation and if needed I will get the help of the forum. Currently my Inbount and Outbound traffic shows the same traffic graph which is bit of a question to me ( hope to get clarify in a different thread )
All in all I am very satisfied with OPNsense as the motto says HIGH END SECURITY MADE EASY!
Thanks a lot

How did you end up getting this working? I have the same issue. Followed all the steps but my LAN can't access the internet. I can't ping my router (default gateway) from any of the LAN workstations. I can connect to the web GUI fine and I have IPv4 allow all rule. Not sure what I'm missing...

Additionally, I can ping the opnsense box from another computer on the LAN (not downstream from transparent firewall which I'm testing), but can't connect to the GUI. I'm guessing it's a firewall rule issue, but I have allowed all IPv4 traffic to pass on the bridged interface.

I added my routers IP address as the default gateway for the bridge interface

Now after reboot I can't ping or connect the the web GUI. I'm lost. Will try from scratch again.
