I’d like to use resinOS 2.x to route traffic between a WiFi network and an Ethernet device, such as an actual router, plugged into the Ethernet port on my Raspberry Pi 3. With resinOS 1.x a solution was created here:

> **[balena-io-playground/balena-bridge](https://github.com/balena-io-playground/balena-bridge)**
>
> Resin.io device to bridging the wifi network to ethernet - balena-io-playground/balena-bridge

Since newer versions of resinOS are using Network Manager the above approach may no longer work.

The [BridgeNetworkConnectionsProxyARP](https://wiki.debian.org/BridgeNetworkConnectionsProxyArp) doc on the Debian Wiki seems to have a solution. But it’s not clear how it would be applied under resinOS 2.x.

How can I route WiFi traffic to Ethernet with resinOS 2.x using Network Manager?

Here’s some [additional info](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=337452) on using the RPi as a wireless bridge (or router, for the [persnickety word types](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3zlzgy/raspberry_pi_as_a_very_simple_wifi_to_ethernet/)). It’s not resinous but it might help with regard to achieving the end goal set out in this topic.

Finally got the Pi 3 to route traffic from Wi-Fi to Ethernet using a layer 2 solution:

Hope this can be made to work on resinOS 2.x somehow.

Thanks @arpitjindal97! That’s extremely helpful. If it doesn’t run straight away on resinOS I’ll see if I can’t get it running using [Hypriot](https://blog.hypriot.com/downloads/) or similar. End game is to set up a system to disguise a hidden network and protect its activity in an easily repeatable way.

Works perfectly with resinOS 2.x. You’re boss @arpitjindal97. You made this look easy. 💅
