Hello everyone,

I have been struggling with the pfSense configuration for a while now, but 
haven't be able to create a working solution. 

We would like to use a pfSense firewall to protect our internet-accessible IP 
range, say 82.94.x.y. I want to be able to define rules about who can access 
what port and what server (i.e., most of our current machines should be reached 
only by a small number of our customers on port 80 and 3389, the rest of the 
Internet must be blocked).

Because of the number of incoming and outgoing connections  I would prefer not 
to use NAT, so each machine has its own 82.94.x.y address, and pfSense would 
have to route the incoming packets to the proper machines. 

This implies my WAN interface would be, for example, 82.94.0.1, and my LAN side 
would have 82.94.0.2, my first server would have 82.94.0.3 and so on.

However, when I set these values, I'm unable to ping the LAN interface, cannot 
access the config page, etc. All traffic is blocked, and PING and other 
requests to the LAN Side don't even show up in the filter log, but they do show 
up in the pftop option.

I just found out that when I plug both the LAN and WAN into the same switch, 
the LAN side *is* accessible! 

Can anyone tell me if what I want is possible, and if so, how to configure it? 

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Jelmer Baas
