      Hello,

      I am looking to replace my current transparent OpenBSD firewalls with pfsense and am wondering if I can get some help with my configuration.  Tried this on my own but didn’t get to far.

      Anyways my current network and firewall configuration is a follows.  I have 3 public Class C networks going over the same physical switched network, all three on different VLANs.  The OpenBSD firewall is configured with the WAN link and the internal network bridged together for the 3 VLANs.  The firewall is transparent, there is no NAT, using pf.

      Now can this configuration be do using pfsense.

      current:
      fiber (3VLANs tag# 10, 11, 12)<-> transparent OpenBSD <->internal network (3VLANs tag# 10, 11, 12)

      what I want:
      fiber (3VLANs tag# 10, 11, 12)<-> transparent PfSense <-> internal network (3VLANs tag# 10, 11, 12)

      future will have vlan 11 be setup with captive portal.

      thanks
