Yes you have to setup eveything when changing to manual outbound, even the default outbound for your LAN. You can use outbound for a subnet (/24) or specific host only (/32) That is a lot of work then... I also have the distinct impression, that when using the manual rules, internet is

The reason it works out of the box on ALIX/Soekris is because the default network adapter names for those are vr0/vr1 on both platforms so those are in the default configuration. Jim Jim, I was experimenting with the pfSense embedded, but it does indeed use the serial console to show
