      Hi, all! I can't quite get the difference between "LAN subnet" and "LAN address" when defining source/destination fields of firewall rules. Any pointers would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Cheers,

        LAN address is the address of the interface of the pfSense to the LAN. (ie. 192.168.1.1/32)
        LAN subnet is the subnet attached to this interface. (ie. 192.168.1.0/24)

        We do what we must, because we can.
