Hi Tom,

by defaault the pfsense-bridge is a filtering bridge (it doesn't work the way 
it works in m0n0 where you have to activate filtering). If you set an 
Opt-Interface to Bridge you can leave all other settings empty, as it won't 
have an IP of it's own then. To allow traffic to pass the bridge you have to 
specify rules at Firewall>Rules for both directions (both physical 
interfaces)just like it was a "normal" interface. You also can specify 
trafficshaping rules for this interface.
WAN-LAN-Bridge isn't possible as the LAN-Interface is a bit different but you 
can leave the LAN-Interface empty and use an OPT for that purpose.

Betreff: [pfSense Support] Bridging the two interfaces


Hi all.
My goal is to create a filtering bridge.. so I would like to ask
everybody some questions:
1) is it possible with pfSense (or FreeBSD) to create a filtering
bridge? I eared about some problems with PF and stateful filtering...
2) how can i bridge lan and wan interface? Is it possible or have I to
add my own function?

 I saw that I have a "bridge" option only if I add an optional
interface.. but I do not
understand how it works.. 

TIA
Tom
