In this quick guide, I’ll show you how to use Mullvad port forwarding and OPNsense to create a WireGuard VPN “tunnel-inside-a-tunnel” configuration, to be able to connect to your home network from the outside. It’s pretty nifty because you won’t have to expose your public IP address. This time, I’ll give you more of a high-level overview and reference the relevant documentation instead of a detailed step-by-step guide.
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.
