      I didn't get my OpenWrt to work with these settings. I think, the tutorial is outdated.

      Try this:

        Yeah, if you have a device that is using DSA you have to use that method. However illogical it may seem. 😉

          TIA

              If your device has been converted to DSA in current OpenWRT you probably need to use that second method. Not all platforms are running DSA though so you'd need to consult the OpenWRT docs.

                My version is old, 18.12 - 4592, maybe this is the problem

                  Nope, that's before DSA was ever added so no danger there. The tutorial you followed should work.

                  Run a pcap on pfSense on the parent NIC, see what tagged traffic is actually arriving?

                      Yes, with this old version, I'd expect that your tutorial should work.

                        packet filter in Pfsense doesnt show anything iis like it is not receiving any packet tagged
                        There is any packet tagged with 10 to this NIC

                        There is a way to send any packets to this vlan to test the conectivity?

                          Connected a PC or laptop to the pfSense interface an configure it's network port for this VLAN.
