Bridged with lan, wireless no longer doing dhcp
-
I think the requirement for firewall rules to allow DHCP traffic on bridged interfaces was new in pfSense 1.2.3.
I think either ruleset will allow DHCP traffic. Depending on your security requirements you might want to tighten up the rules.
-
Just as long its not accepting anything from the wan or dmz side.
down below is my dmz rules.
-
you want a rule on the wifi with source of 0.0.0.0 and destination of 255.255.255.255, everything else is any (*).

What does it do?
-
That rule allows DHCP traffic.
DHCP traffic doesn't yet have a "subnet" it's all completely broadcast, source 0.0.0.0 destination 255.255.255.255.

So basically like this?
-
If wifi is bridged to LAN, there is no such thing as "wifi subnet' because wifi has no IP, it's briged. :-)
So use LAN subnet there.
-
Ok changed it to this so is this correct?
What about DMZ? Do I need to do anything in there?
-
Should be OK except that you don't need the 'wifi net' rules, because of what I said before. If wifi is bridged to LAN, it has no subnet.

Thank you all, I think I'm all set. The wifi is working again and my rules are set up correctly now.
