I'm using Asus Merlin now and want to add OPNsense after the router. Meaning OPNsense's IP would be something like 192.168.1.100 on the WAN side from the router rather than have OPNsense after the modem like it would normally go. I'm wondering if anyone would know how I would accomplish such a task? I'm thinking there would be a double NAT in doing so. I noticed in Asus Merlin you can exlude a local IP adress from the DHCP and I did try that but it seems like OPNsense can't be accessed no matter what I do to get this to work after configuring everything. I've read that you can put a router in bridge mode, but upon looking in the router I saw no such option, or I was looking in the wrong spot. Trouble with that is I have to allow other devices connected to the router a DHCP. Would placing a switch on the router help accomplish my goal?
Thanks for any and all advice in advance.
