Can you use the Wi-Fi of a router when set in bridge mode?
I'm planing setting up my EdgeRouter (see below network setup) to make all the traffic pass through a VPN.
My Wi-Fi modem will be set up in bridge mode and the EdgeRouter will be responsible for doing the PPPoE negotiation with my ISP.
If I connect to the Wi-Fi of my modem, would this be behind the firewall or unprotected?

I’m not aware of any ISP modem that has functioning WiFi when it is in bridge mode.
The WiFi will be disabled when you put it in bridge mode and most likely you will even be told that when you do so.
Bridge mode disables routing on the modem and it is no longer capable of handling wireless clients.
