OPNSense with only one ethernet interface ?

[yannssolo]

Hello,

I would like to know how if it's possible to configure opnsense on a machine which has only one ethernet interface.
On that machine I also have one wifi interface.

So, is it possible (and how, if possible), to use the ethernet interface for the WAN and the wifi interface for the LAN, maybe by setting it up as wifi access point ?

I do not have any manage switch, so i can't do it with VLAN.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

If the WiFi card is supported this works. If not you can always use an extender or USB NIC / Wifi Stick(*).


Cheers,
Franco

(*) if that Wifi stick is supported

if you got a managed switch at hand? it's called a firewall on a stick https://g33kr.net/how-tos/firewall-on-a-stick/
