IPFire RED-Port as a WLAN-Client?

Networking WiFi
1

Hi
I use IPFire for serveral months and as a OpenVPN-Server and I am happy with it (and my family…).

I can not find an answer for following question:

Is it possible to connect the RED-Port to an Wireless Nic and use it as a WLan Client?

My use:
Install IpFire on a raspberry Pi (or other mini-computer)
Take it with me and connet to a Wireless Access Point.

I am not the Linux-Profi …

Yes you can do that. That is exactly the way I use my RPI4. Just setup the Red Interface with a wifi NIC. After that you can define WLANs you want to connect to via the web interface.
