IPFire + FritzBox + Pi-Hole & Exposed Host

Helle there,

having an new Cable Connection with my new FritzBox 6591 (Own Device) My ISP are Unitymedia.

Having trouble to setup my IPFire and Pi-Hole work together with my FritzBox…

My FritzBox have the IP 192.168.2.1 (Static) (DHCP off)
My IPFire have the IP 192.168.2.2 (DHCP ON)
My Pi-Hole have the IP 192.168.2.3 (Static)

I have Setup in FritzBox Exposed Host for IP 192.168.2.2 but FritzBox told me IP exist not possible

My Green Network are config to 192.168.2.2 and 255.255.255.0 (can connect the WebIf)
My Red Network are config to Static 192.168.2.1 and 255.255.255.0
The DNS are 192.168.2.3 and Gateway 192.168.2.1

What are the correct Steps to get this working?

regards

EDIT:

My physical connection

Hey,

you have a numbering problem here.

If you are using 192.168.2.1/24 for the Fritz!Box, the RED interface of IPFire has to be in that subnet, too.

But the GREEN subnet must be different. 192.168.3.1/24 for example. Otherwise the firewall does not know to which interface to send a packet.

So just change GREEN and you are fine.

Hi,

is this an solution? I wood like that my Network Devices have IP´s like 192.168.2.21

FritzBox = 192.168.178.1
Red Port = 192.168.178.2
Green = 192.168.2.1 (DHCP Range 192.168.2.20 to 192.168.2.100)
Blue = 192.168.3.1 (DHCP Tange 192.168.3.20 to 192.168.3.100)
Pi-Hole = 192.168.2.3

Yes, that would be a correct setup.

My Setup now this one, but it is not working… no Internet Connection

Okay, i think now it is working… after this Setup it looks like it works

in my case for an Example:
red 192.168.30.0/24
fritzbox: 192.168.30.1
ipfire red static 192.168.30.2 gateway 192.168.30.1
green: 192.168.20.0/24
ipfire green 192.168.20.1
pihole 192.168.20.5 dns & DHCP for green

This is how I have it. Maybe I can help you.
