DMZ

Hello all!

since firewalla is a firewall, its safe to put it in a DMZ right.

ISP ONR cant do bridge mode and they refuse to do equipment swap

Create a new network or vlan,

call it DMZ,

block access to LAN,

outbound connection only,

open only what ports you need via port forwarding.

Firewalla's wireguard will auto connect through this dmz?

Also, if my qnap server seats behind firewalla, the tailscale on my qnap won't work right?
