Chris, Thanks for writing. I've read in FAQ and I was wondering what was your email a this piece simply does not work. I've read it closely at least 10 times :) You also might see it is way different from what Alan was advising me... Unfortunately even Alan's advise does not work. May be it was broken in the newer version - I do not know. Few things about this document. First it says: " 14.3.3. OPT Interface Configuration Click Interfaces -> OPT. Name the interface to your liking (for the example, we'll use Servers for the name). In the "Bridge with" box, select WAN. Click Save." OPT is not LAN but what is the most important it says nothing about setting IP address. You do need to set one initially in pfsense to configure bridging and stuff and it is not entirely sure how to unset it right. "14.3.4. Enable Filtering Bridge Go to the System -> Advanced page and check the "Enable filtering bridge" box. Click Save. " There is no such setting in pfsense which makes me to wonder if it is always enabled so you need to skip this step or it needs to be changes somewhere else. And this is basically two main points this documentation reflects about bridging - the rest is setting firewall rules - I set "allow" everything rule right now to test it which should be good enough. > > > alan walters wrote: > > >I have a similar configuration where the lan is bridged to the wan. > >I just made a rule to allow access to the wan IP.
