Some years ago i posted something simillar to your post, in conclusion it is safe to run on a vm and have the ethernet ports pointed to it, i personally use bare metal since im still not too familiar with opnsense to start thinking of migrating to a vm
thank you for the support, i was able to make Unbound listen to 10.50.50.0 as a dns but when i tried to access me services on 192.168.1.$$ the same problem occured. i also found another simillar post that had the same problem as mine so i now know it will not work, but thanks for the help
Yes it's because I use unbound and Adguard on opnsense, Adguard uses 5353 and unbound uses 53, so in opnsense I went to Services > Unbound DNS > query forwarding and added the IP 10.50.50.0:5353 but even doing that didn't work on my wireguard config file.
Thinking more into it the reason that It didn't work was because unbound is the primary DNS and Adguard would become the secondary DNS, if there was a way to create another IP for unbound I think my problem would be solved, but Im still learning about opnsense so I don't know how would I do it.
I didn't know that, in Adguard > Setup guide > configure your devices. Since I selected to listen to All interfaces there are lots of IP addresses so I just copied the IP from my wireguard interface like this.
But the problem is the DNS, I think the phone isn't as picky as the computer when connecting to wireguard that why it works, I will try doing that but I don't think that's the problem
I bought the Intel Celeron n5105 from some vendor called wooyi store on AliExpress, from what a saw on yt that CPU is a little overkill for a router and it uses too much idle power, but I think it was a good purchase for me bc I don't plan to switch this router soom.
What model do you mostly use for those tasks
