Well,

Both LAN and WAN wants their IPs set.  

And never of configurations seems to work decent way.  

First,  I have to set IP address to WAN network, otherwise it complains 

"field 'IP address' is required."

I may only set IP to WAN network and leave LAN ip empty and enable
bridging.    In this case PfSense however becomes unreachable from  LAN
network  (should not it be fixed to also require IP if it is really
required ?)    In this case I however can access WebGUI  from external
network (I allowed all incoming traffic for tests).

One more bug around it - If I provide empty LAN address in configuration
it continues to work... until reboot.  Reboot causes system to be
inaccessible from LAN.  This especially worries me as if reboot happens
few months after you've done some changes you might not remember what
they were...


If I set both LAN and WAN to use the same IP address (.154)  access from
WAN breaks,  even with firewall which permits everything

... Went do do some research.

Ok. It looks like I got what the problem is.  There is  "wanspoof" rule
which blocks all traffic from WAN network which comes from IPs which are
set for LAN network, which seems to be wrong in case of Network
bridging.

Also... I see there is the rule "SSHLockout"  - any way to disable it ?
It is to be used in collocation environment and there are certain hosts
which will need such access. 

Thanks.
