      Hi all

      I have a 4 ports pfSense box which until now I only utilized 2 ports, one for WAN coming in from the ISP Router, and another for LAN going out to a switch.

      I want to utilize another LAN port in the pfSense box that simply act as a simple dummy hub/switch, passing through the internet from my ISP to a PC. No firewall, etc, just simply something to enable the PC to connect to internet.

      Can't find any tutorial simple enough for me to understand how to set this up. Can anyone help point me to the right direction?

      Thank you.

        You would create bridge to the WAN NIC to do that.

        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/bridges/index.html

        It will still have firewall rules applies though unless you disable both bridge and member filtering. Or just add pass all rules.
