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. ![image](https://community.ipfire.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9378b2f84a0b85cf906e949875235ccede9e0e90.png) 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?
