Hello to all.

I am trying to use pfsense to create a firewall box according to the following figure

|----------LAN
|
WAN------pfsense------WIFI(opt1)
|
|----------DMZ(opt2) - bridged to WAN

WAN interface has a public IP address.
Clients in LAN subnet have private ip addresses 192.168.1.xxx.
Clients in WIFI subnet have private ip addresses 10.0.0.xxx.
Servers in DMZ zone have public addresses.

I have bridged DMZ interface to the WAN interface. I have also enabled filtering bridging. I have hooked up a server in DMZ zone in order to check that everything works fine.

Traffic from WAN to DMZ is by default blocked. I can permit certain kinds of traffic to certain servers with allow rules on the firewall rules (WAN tab). Traffic from LAN to DMZ is by default blocked. I can permit certain kinds of traffic to certain servers with allow rules on the firewall rules (LAN tab).

The problem appears on the WIFI inrterface. I works the same way as the others for most of the protocols but there is a strange problem with HTTP traffic.

I use a rule BLOCK everything that has destination ip xxx.xxx.xxx.198 (the ip of the server).

While PING or SSH is blocked and I can see them on the logs when I try to access a webpage on a web server on the xxx.xxx.xxx.198 server the traffic is not being blocked and when I go to states I see this strange state:

tcp 127.0.0.1:80 <- 195.251.108.198:80 <- 10.0.0.210:49531 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED

I cannot explain this. I guess it has something to do with WIFI being an optional interface??

Please help me, I have tried almost everything with no results.
