In May 2023, Mullvad announced the discontinuation of port forwarding support. Starting from 2023-07-01, all existing ports will be removed, making this guide obsolete. 😭
This beginner-friendly, step-by-step guide walks you through the initial configuration of your OPNsense firewall. The title of this guide is an homage to the pfSense baseline guide with VPN, Guest, and VLAN support that some of you guys might know, and this is an OPNsense migration of it. I found that guide two years ago and immediately fell in love with the network setup. After researching for weeks, I decided to use OPNsense instead of pfSense. I bit the bullet and bought the Deciso DEC630 appliance. Albeit expensive and possibly overkill for my needs, I’m happy to support the open-source mission of Deciso, the maintainers of OPNsense. The only thing I regret about the purchase is that I now can’t afford the sexier-looking successor model, the DEC690.
