      I need to place this as bridge so i can use the filtering, and other tools just no nat

      Turn off Nat

      set net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge and set the value to 1

      Bridged my Wan and Lan, set Ip and rules to get to the webpage.

      My setup goes

      ISP–->Gateway---->PFsense Wan Port---->Out to Lan from lan port

      It still does not filter, I know it can be done i had untangled doing this fine.

        What do you have net.link.bridge.pfil_member set to?

        That needs to be set to 1 to filter traffic on the bridge member interfaces which it sounds like you're trying to do. And setting both to 1 is probably not required. Do have the bridge interface assigned even?

        Do you actually need a bridged setup? You can disable NAT without bridging but you still route.
