Static IP works on PC but not on PFSense
-
Hello,
I have my connection in Bridge Mode from my ISP with a Static IP.
When I enter the Static IP, Subnet Mask and Gateway details into Wired Settings on my Ubuntu. I am able to get the Internet and also able to ping the Static IP from external Network.
However, When I try to enter the same details into PFSense. The gateway always seems offline and I don't get the Internet.
I have tried the WAN on the interface as well as creating VLAN on the interface.
I have set Firewall WAN Rules to allow Any Protocol from Any Source to Any destination.
Not sure, what is it that I might be missing.Any kind of help in right direction would be a great help.

Does your ISP provide a static address? Or do they expect you to use DHCP? Static configs are usually for business users.

That would allow anyone on the Internet to connect to pfSense via SSH, HTTPS, or any other listening port. Not a good idea unless you like getting hacked.
Try restarting your ISP router/modem, some, especially cable modems, lock on to the first MAC address used.
Is your ISP gateway pingable? If not it may be detected as offline. You can Disable Gateway Monitoring in System/Routing by editing the gateway. Or use a different Monitor IP like 8.8.8.8.
