Can't ping anything from the console

Getting Started with IPFire

So, I’ve configured it with a Red, an Orange and a Green Area on a VM and for some reason I can’t ping anything from the console of the firewall.

Here I pinged “orf.at”

Red-IP: 192.168.0.1/24 (Network Bridge)
Orange-IP: 187.0.0.1/24 (Internal Network)
Green-IP: 10.0.0.1/24 (Internal Network)

(Btw: I’ve configured it with just Red and Green once and I could ping anything.)

In bridge mode RED must have a public IP supplied by your ISP. (192.168.0.1 is a private IP)

Your orange IP is also invalid because this is a Public range from Adylnet Telecom which is not allowed to use in private networks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So, I’ll set Orange to 10.0.1.0/24

For Red: My router uses 192.168.178.0/24 as internal ip range and a public ip starting with 64.[…].
Should I use a public ip, which looks like the one of my router or is any public ip okay?
