Hallo Patrick,

what is the most appropriate use of router mode or bridge mode ?
From the ISP side ?

The Modem or ONT your ISP supplies should not have any kind of Routing enabled : It should only convert Glassfiber or COAX or xDSL to Ethernet.

If your ISP gives out Modem/Router/WiFi a.k.a. "All-in-One" devices then ask them to put it in Bridge Mode so you don't have NAT behind NAT issues in the future!

We are new to OPNsesne firewalls.
Kindly share the steps to setting up the WAN port to allow users internet traffic though the LAN port.
Currently the WAN is on DHCP mode.
The ISP provided us with the public IP and VLAN number.

Then you need the netmask and the gateway in addition to the IP.

[/Yes the netmask and gateway we have . My only challenge are the steps to configure the IP and VLAN on the interface.

All you need to know is @ https://docs.opnsense.org/ ;)

And if you can't do it yourself I am sure you can pay someone to do it for you in the country/city/region that you are from :)

1. Interfaces > Devices > VLAN - create VLAN
2. Interfaces > Assignments - assign "WAN" to the VLAN you created
3. Interfaces > WAN - enter IP address and mask/prefix-length
4. System > Gateways - add gateway

Done. All of this is well documented.
