I have a small Alix board with only one Ethernet connector.
It would be nice to pass packets from two different networks through
that one Ethernet connector.
I know it is possible, I'm just wondering whether pfsense can do it and
whether anyone has some recipes for implementation.
I would
I would think it's pretty simple if you have a vlan capable switch. Just
connect the router to the switch on a trunk port and other devices off of
the switch on specific vlans.

If you have a vlan capable switch (most managed switches can do this) then
you can split one interface into several virtuals. Pfsense supports this.
If not, a USB ethernet interface would be an option.

I'm interested in doing it all within the Alix using pfsense. A minimum
hardware approach.
Think of my WAN mentioned below as the LAN network created by the
modem/router furnished by the ISP and the LAN mentioned below as devices
also connected to the back end of the modem/router, but not

You would have to do a major code rewrite to get this done. And it would
be insecure and it would make no pf sense :-) this is network basics. You
dont seem to understand some network fundamentals. Sorry but this is not
doable without using vlans or 2 physical interfaces.

Nat traversal is trivial. Firewalling needs physical interfaces. Vlans are
possible but vlan jumping is also possible. Vlans to do different zones
(lan/wan lan/dmz dmz/wan) is not something I recommend as vlan jumping can
be done in most environments. In short. Forget an idea where you firewall
Do you have any reason why?

I don't need the firewall features of pfsense in my application. The
firewall is 'upstream' of the pfsense box - in the ISP furnished
modem/router.
Please re-think your suggestions - with the pfsense firewall function
out of the picture.

Like I said in a previous email, feel free to do this with your choice of OS.
PfSense doesn't give you quite enough rope to do what you want.
