Gary, thanks for the reply. Riddle me this. I have three networks (10.x. 192.168.138.x, and 192.168.132.x) all trying to see this pfsense box and presumable get out to the Internet. How would the routing work in that scenario?

So if you're trying to route traffic from your pfSense box out to the Internet, the default gateway will be the next hop on your WAN subnet's network (hint: this address is provided by your ISP). If, on the other hand, you're trying to handle routing for your LAN clients, the normal default gateway is going to be the LAN IP address of your pfSense box. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
