@martin I narrowly avoided hitting fire on a #BPI-R4 the other day. Someone(tm) should port #OPNsense to it, but there are concerns about drivers for the #SFP slots.

Switched from #ISC DHCP to #dnsmasq on #opnsense.

The transition wasn't very smooth as the update process disabled #ISC without enabling #dnsmasq so essentially you had to assign static ips to restore your setup after the update, yikes.

Anyway, now finally running a DHCP server that can do both ipv4 and ipv6 in a single process.

Alright, I need fedis help here

My OpenWRT for my servers router decided to die, which made me realize that I really need to fix something that is redudant.

Preferably something rack-mounted, something that can run OPNsense - and not something that costs to much.

Ideas?

After much tears I was able to get this working...sort of. Site A router (opnsense) has a client on site B router (openwrt) working. From site B I'm at least able to ssh into the OPNsense router, so I'm calling that good enough for now.
I've set up a wireguard server on site B openwrt, that looks fine. Generated a client for it and ...well there's no client option on opnsense. Instructions look like it's just another peer as Hugo pointed out, meshily.

There's no direct "import this client config" option so I rammed the settings into a peer config but no dice yet.

Before I go checking firewall settings and whether tethering impacted - I definitely need this parallel peering setup right? It seems like it could have worked both ways with one pair...
