Multiple networks on one pfsense router?

josephchrzempiec

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple networks on one pfsense router? I have never done anything like that before But I have heard it can be done. I would like to have one network setup for my home use and one network setup for the home base business. I would like to keep them separated from each other. I do have multiple static ip addresses. Can someone help me please to figure this out and how I would get started? Everything i Found online is a little confusing.

Sure you can easily do that. Just add more interfaces (could be VLANs) for each segment and put appropriate firewall rules on them to filter traffic.
You can set different outbound NAT rules for each subnet to use a different external IP if you want that.

There are some ways to realize it;

Each LAN Port gets an own subnet like
192.168.1.0/24 and on the next one 192.168.2.0/24
You can also add a switch to each LAN port and enrich
that scenario for more users or devices.
You may be able to work with VLANs for privat and home
VLAN10 = Home - 192.168.1.0/24
VLAN20 = Work - 192.168.2.0/24
VLAN30 = WiFi - 172.xxx

You may be able to set up behind the pfSense also a small
MikroTik router for each network if you want.

There are many ways you may be able to walk on.
