Accessing modem from inside firewall

balubeto

Firewall: 192.168.1.1/24
VDSL2 router: 10.0.0.1/8

Now, my current configuration is:

When I type the 10.0.0.1 address in the browser, the firewall Login window appears instead of that of the router.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks

Dude really?????????

Your modem is 10.0.0.1 that your trying to get to.. So you set pfsense IP to 10.0.0.1 – how and the F would that work?? Come on dude!!

And your still showing 10/8 on the LAN side...

I am just done - nobody on the planet can be this freaking DENSE!!!

Why are you setting your "modem access" interface on em2??? How and the F would that work - come on!!

Sorry but I'm following the guide https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall.

So your trying to access an IP 10.0.0.1, so you give pfsense the SAME address 10.0.0.1 - how would that work??? Really… You need to set this to 10.0.0.2

ZOMG.

1/ You cannot have the same IP on the modem and on pfSense.
2/ You do NOT need a frickin' /8 for point-to-point link!!!

If it still does not work, forget the hybrid NAT crap, switch it to automatic and set up a gateway as noted above.

I understood the trick: it is only necessary to configure the Modem_access interface like this:

Finally, everything works perfectly.

So if you can, you may correct the guide https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Accessing_modem_from_inside_firewall .
