Hi, I'm still struggling to set up pfsense in transparent mode - to make it act only as Firewall without doing NAT for me or something.
I have network 111.111.111.152/29 assigned to me by provider, 111.111.111.153 is gateway. I set WAN interface of pfsense to 111.111.111.154 and LAN interface to 111.111.111.155 with same netmask /29 and enabled bridging for them. First problem: I was initially allowed to set LAN and WAN ips to the same (111.111.111.154) - it does not produce any warning or errors, however LAN interface became inaccessible and I had to set LAN ip via pfsense boot menu to fix it. Second problem: Firewall does not function as expected. I enable all ICMP on WAN interface but I still can't ping even pfsense itself from external hosts (both interfaces) - however outgoing ping works. I also tried to create TCP/UDP filter to allow all incoming connection - I still however can't connect from external network to pfsense Web GUI Next step was to try to disable Firewall all together in advanced settings to ensure it will work. This lead to Third problem: With firewall disabled strange thing happened. I can now ping externally and internally, I can even connect to internal services from outside (of course wide open without filtering) but pfsense box became non-existent. .154 and .155 IPs respond to the pings but they do not respond any ports at all. (I tried nmap with no success) This last one is the most worrying as I lost all contacts to pfsense box and have no idea how to get to its web interface, without reseting configuration. P.S I think it would be nice to include lynx or some other text based browser with pfsense so even if you screw up something completely you can use web interface from local console to configure things. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
