The cable Internet at my parent's house died and in order for IPv6 to work with the 4G internet connection, I've just created a NAT66 source NAT rule on my parent's #OPNsense This feels very wrong, but since the 4G connection only gets a /64 prefix, I can't do NPTv6, so this is all I can do. But at least it works. 🫣IPv4 is only NATed by the Cable and 4G routers, and WAN failover is taken care of by Gateway Groups.

Spent a lot of time today playing with OPNSense (err, fighting - a while back my whining about not getting along with networking was no joke).Eventually got what I wanted to work to actually work: OPNsense as an exposed node inside a Bell Giga Hub network and routing/NAT'ing to a dmz host hanging off said exposed node. But omfg, I suck at this stuff. It's painful - be glad you can't watch me work. Ha.Aaannyyyywwwaaaayyyyyy...If you haven't already upgraded to the latest OPNSense (26.7), you may be surprised by some of the quality of life GUI clean up and more impressively the sped up boot time. On my N150 based box it boots 'super fast' like a normal PC compared to the old fashioned, slow thing it was doing before. No hard data to share, just a seat of the pants anecdote.#OPNSense #RunBSD #networking #PF
