Can't ping OPT1, missing firewall rule?
-
Okay so I just factory reset everything, v2.7.2, everything is barebones default.
Loaded the gui, Interfaces >Assignments, for OPT1 I selected an unused port and hit save.
Interfaces > OPT1, enabled the interface
IPv4 Configuration Type = Static IPv4
gave it 192.168.2.1/24, saved, left everything else default.Tried to ping from 192.168.1.100, "ping: connect: Network is unreachable". I'm assuming I need a pass rule in my firewall? sorry for the dumb question

@bumzag Yeah if you're pinging from 192.168.1.100 and that interface is on 192.168.2.0/24 you'll need to create an allow rule on OPT1 to allow that traffic in. You can of course make very granular rules to allow only specific traffic, or allow anything on your LAN subnets into OPT1.

@bumzag 192.168.1.100 is on LAN? Then the pass rule goes on LAN. That device’s gateway should be pfSense LAN IP.

Yeah this was it, forgot to set the DNS server for LAN DHCP to the LAN IP. You helped me last May with almost the same issue lol ty again
