      I’m looking to bridge two VLANS in PFSense and am curious to how I can get this done. I currently have Bell Internet/TV and am using an EdgeRouter from Ubiquiti. My current solution on the EdgeRouter is as followed:

      ETH3 - Fibre SFP from ISP
      VLAN 35 - WAN - PPPOE
      VLAN 36 - IPTV - No IP

      ETH2 - Trunk to switch
      VLAN 1,2,3, etc - LAN
      VLAN 36 - IPTV - No IP

      I have the VLAN 36 interfaces on the WAN and LAN interfaces bridged. On my switch I have the TV boxes plugged into ports tagged with VLAN 36, which currently works. I’m looking at how to replicate this in PFSense, as I am unable to get it working. I have no extra config beyond the default bridge on the EdgeRouter.

      Any help is appreciated!

        Bridging and VLANs can be.... interesting!

        But what you're doing isn't that complex you should be able to create a bridge with the two VLAN 36 interfaces in it.
