My parents live in Mumbai and they have the Tata Sky connection. I wanted to provide them with a OPNsense firewall. I was hoping to set up a site-to-site VPN between my home and theirs.
However, I am not sure of two things:
Secondly, they have been provided with the ONT + Router -- a Nokia G-140W-C. Obviously I will have to have that changed to just a regular ONT without the routing capabilities. Have any of you had experience with Tata Sky reps about how easy or difficult it is to have the device changed over to just an ONT instead of the so called "Smart Router" ? In other words, when I visit, what should I tell the rep -- so that they understand quickly rather than me having to explain entire networking architecture to them?
Thanks,
However, I am not sure of two things:
- Does Tata Sky use DHCP or PPPoE? If PPPoE, do they provide the credentials to the customers or do the "service engineers" come in and put that info in? Will I require that information in Opnsense or will the ONT device handle that?
- Does Tata Sky uses CGNAT aka Double NAT and if so how would I circumvent that in order to set up the Site-to-Site VPN connection?
