      Hello ppl. I have some problem with my WAN interface. When i set up IP adress for WAN interface i can't access to webgui through WAN and i can't ping host at all. I tryed to replace LAN card (but i know that is not answer and that is not problem :D) but same problem still exist. I faced with it first time and i can't solve that. Through LAN everything is ok. In instalation when i set IP for WAN ever. is ok and i ping him. After instalation, when all aderesses sets to def. (LAN 192.168.1.1 , WAN - typ. 0.0.0.0 DHCP) and when i set WAN adress through WEbgui through LAN i cant acess via WAN. I tryed to disable firewall and i dont know what i more tryed to do but still problem. Maybe i can't see something :) I am using RC1 on P4 machine. Real q. is is it possible at all to acess through WAN interface?

      Thanks

        By default, everything is blocked at WAN (blocking connections is the purpose of a firewall). However, you can open up ports if needed by creating rules at firewall>rules in the webgui. For connections to the firewall itself you only need a firewall rule. If you want to forward connections to a client inside your LAN you need additional to this a NAT entry at firewall>NAT, portforward. Just create a portforward and it will create the appropriate firewallrule automatically.

            Do you want to forward it to an internal host or open it to the firewall itself? In case you want to open up the webgui see http://faq.pfsense.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=10&id=41&artlang=en&highlight=webgui%20wan
