Topic: WiFi + LAN question...  (Read 1364 times)

How can I set up my WiFi where it can get WAN access but also be accessable from, and have access to, other LAN addresses?

Bridging with the LAN of course lets it access the LAN and vice versa, but it does not get WAN access this way.

I didn't see anything in the handbook about it.

Would bridging the WiFi with the LAN and then adding "allow * from WiFI to WAN" + an Outbound NAT rule for the WiFi work?  (I've yet to try that but I just now saw it on the board.)

TIA Smiley

ByUzer,
If I understand correctly:

-----WAN[monowall]----lan
                               |----wifi

If you have two netwroks, one for lan and another for wifi, either through two vlans on the same interface or on two network interfaces, monowall automatically provides routing between those "local networks", provided the right set of firewall rules are in place -check your firewall to see what's going on. To have this device be accesible from the Wan you need an explicit NAT rule (sigle port forward or 1:1) so that monowalls forwards traffic comin gon the wan interface to your device conected on the wifi network.
