Transparent firewall - routing issues

ninjazjb · Jul 28, 2010, 4:27 PM

I have tried configuring pfSense as a transparent firewall however it is not working as a layer 2 device. In order for get out to the Internet, one must enter in the IP address of the pfSense box and not the routers IP. I have two network cards bridged and have created a rule to allow LAN traffic out to the Internet, turned off outbound NAT'ing. Not sure what else I am missing.

Its version 1.2.3.

Thanks!

How do you have WAN/LAN setup exactly? (screenshots may help)

In a transparent scenario, WAN should have an IP in the subnet you want. LAN should not have an IP in that subnet, and it should be set as a bridge to WAN.
