Community Fibre ONT with PFSense removal of double natting feature
Hi everyone, I'm trying to configure Pfsense as the primary router. I need to link my ONT to the Pfsense device so it can obtain its public IP address. Could you help me figure out the best way to do this? I've shared my current and planned network layouts.
The program you mentioned is called picture. For the setup, you should collaborate with your ISP to configure it properly. My IT colleague handled the fiber connection to the pfSense by contacting the provider and arranging it. I’m not sure if this applies to your situation. (In most cases, the provider provided the VLAN details and it functioned.) If it’s not standard for an ISP router, you should be able to obtain DHCPD from elsewhere.
I'm not sure what you're asking. It seems like you're trying to clarify your network setup. You mentioned networking experience and noticed changes after removing the ISP router. It appears the device now acts as a main router, possibly functioning like a DHCP server. You wonder if it's possible to transfer its configuration from the ISP router to PFSense. Also, are the switches needing special configuration or VLAN setup for this change?
My current configuration has a double-nat setup that's leading to problems... I aim for the Pfsense unit to act as the Linksys router and use the Linksys as an AP. Additionally, I need to maintain my on-Homelab separately.
I understand the situation better now. I already have VLANs configured. Because my lab is running several services, it’s creating problems. Additionally, I have a site-to-site VPN that’s struggling to connect back to my home lab.
You aim to get the Public WAN IP from your ONT to PFSense. Here’s how you can do it.
