3. VPN Setup (Wireguard)

Source: Home Network Guy

In this tutorial we will setup a wireguard VPN connection on top of the OPNsense home network that we just created. This is most often what I do straight away after an installation. Since, this makes sure you can connect to the network remotely. It is extremely simple, since OPNsense already comes with three different VPN integrations that can be used straight away. Note here! You can only use a VPN if you have a public facing IP address. If you do not have this (behind CGNAT) then have a look at Mesh VPN's! Do know that if you don't have a public facing IP address you cannot host any public available services. Therefore, always try to get a public IP address from your ISP.
