For some time I have had a Qotom box running OPNsense (23.7.7) behind a Fritzbox from 2 degrees. (now Vocus)
This makes it all double-NATed and though it all works OK, it is a bit messy.

Trying to do away with the Fritzbox has proved harder than I had hoped.
I followed the advice of @l43a2 , @monolithNZZ and others with these settings -

WAN Connection Type: DHCP (Automatic IP/Dynamic IP/IP over Ethernet)
802.1Q: Enabled
VLAN ID (802.1Q): 10
802.1P (Priority): 0
IP Version: IPv4 or IPv6
MTU Size: 1492 or 1500

The options in OPNsense are -

I even tried entering my public IP address (I have static IPv4 and v6 addresses) but to no avail.

Is anyone here using OPNsense (or pfsense) on Vocus?

After you created the VLAN in OPNsense, did you update the WAN assignment to use the new VLAN?

Yes, this is set under "Interfaces" > "Other types" > "VLAN" and then added a new VLAN with the Parent set to the WAN's ethernet port.

I am assuming that this is the only place where this needs to be set.

Have you set the new VLAN as the wan Device under "Interfaces" > "Assignments"

Thank you everyone; as several of you suspected, I had not updated the WAN assignment to use the new VLAN.

Also, had to nudge it to auto-detect the new upstream gateway.

All go and WAF remains high.
