NDP-Proxy-Go Aliases

[mooh]

I'm currently experimenting with the NDP proxy go and I have to say that this is an invaluable tool if you want to use an existing segmented network behind a LTE/5G router because carriers only hand out /64 prefixes. That said, I would love to use the automatic aliases as documented in the OPNsense Help, but I can't find the settings in the UI. Is this a problem with my OPNsense 25.10.1_2-amd64 + os-ndp-proxy-go 1.0 (says 0.1 in the changelog) installation or is a problem with the OPNsense docs? After all, the ndp-proxy website doesn't mention aliases.

Hey there,

the tool was in rapid development, in the business edition (25.10.1_2) the version of the plugin is not the same as in the community version (25.7.10).

It will still take some time until the latest plugin version hits there.

Ok, I see. It's a community plugin after all. Thanks for the info and please keep the porting effort up.

B.t.w. Is there a way to switch the repository for this plugin?

There is no easy way to switch repos quickly to install a different version of a plugin.

You could build everything from source though.

Build the binary:
https://github.com/opnsense/ports/tree/master/opnsense/ndp-proxy-go

Build the plugin:
https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/tree/master/net/ndp-proxy-go

Though I would not recommend that for a business install. If you want to experiment it would be better to go with the latest community or development release.

PS: It's not a port per se, but developed from scratch for OPNsense, here's the repo: https://github.com/Monviech/ndp-proxy-go :)
