RE: [pfSense Support] router?

[Holger Bauer]

Don't shutdown firewallfiltering. Got to firewall>nat, outbound and enable advanced outbound nat. Then delete all rules that were autocreated on the bottom of the page. This way you do shut down nat completely. Now create rules to pass traffic at the needed interfaces.   Also at system>advanced the static routes filtering option should be enabled.   Disabling firewall filters all together shuts down traffic shaping as well, so you shouldn't do that if you plan to use it.   Holger -----Original Message----- From: Craig Silva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 9:07 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: [pfSense Support] router? I am contemplating utilizing pfsense on a wrap as an internal routing solution for our private IP WAN.   On the wrap its reliable – no moving parts and the GUI is pretty good. (I must be getting old – firewall batch files with arcane sequences of commands just aren’t as riveting as they once were)   Anyway my question is if I turn off the firewall filtering and let rfc 1918 addresses through the wan, can I still use the GUI to do traffic shaping?   Any opinions on turning off the firewall option gratefully received as I I have an inclination to leave things be and just let the rfc 1918 addresses through with the wan interface pointing to the branch lan (lan interface pointing across the WAN) but not sure which would be better for traffic shaping and management.   Craig       ---------------------------------- Craig Silva.
