Introduction

This HowTo is written for the beroNet Appliance with the Hypervisor Version 2.03 and the Opnsense Version 18.1.6.

It explains how to setup the DSL Card, create an OPNSense VM from the Installer ISO file and configure the OPNSense to use the DSL Card as WAN Interface.

OPNsense DSL Settings

If you have assigned the virtual network interfaces in the console, you should have 2 Interfaces in OPNSense: LAN and WAN. The WAN Interfaces is bridged with the VDSL Modem. So we need to choose "pppoe" for the IPv4 Configuration type setting. Then we need to provide a Username and Passwort in the PPPoE configurations section, please consult your DSL provider to retrieve these information, then click save and afterwards apply settings:
