      ISP–--ASA5510-----Cisco2811/Router------3 Cisco switches-----computers. my current lan ip scheme is 10.10.1.1/24 and I want to give my wireless clients and ip of 192.168.5.x/24. Do I need to give a static ip to my WAN connection on my pfsense box? like 10.10.1.2? and my wireless a static of 192.168.5.x?

          If you don't have a suitable DHCP server, yes and yes.

          Yes, WiFi interface in pfSense should be a static IP in 192.168,5,x/24  (static so you can enable DHCP server).

            What about the gateway addresses for both WAN and LAN?

                Just wanted to say thanks for your help. I configured pfsense and captive portal. it seems to work pretty well. I am going to get familiar with it and maybe post some more questions later on.

                Thank you so much

                  How do I make it so that I can access the web GUI just through my WAN connection? I have placed a rule on my LAN interface just to have internet access and not be able to access my internal LAN which is my WAN connection on my box.

                      Have you tried it? If so and it "doesn't work" please post what the browser reports when you attempt it.

                          I expect you will need a firewall rule on the WAN interface to allow access and a firewall rule on the LAN interface to block access.

                          Step 1. Try access  from both WAN interface and LAN interface and report the outcome.

                            When I am on the WAN it will not open up the web gui but when I am on the lan it will open. What rule do I need to place to make this work?

                            Thanks for your help.

                              These are the current rules I have. I know I have to uncheck the block private networks but what else do I need to do.

                              Thanks

                                I think you will at least need to replicate on the WAN interface the Anti lockout rule on the LAN interface EXCEPT the destination Address in the new rule will be WAN Address rather than LAN address.

                                Then you should go to Diagnostics -> States, click on the Reset States tab, read the explanation and click on the Reset button.

                                  You know what I figured it out.

                                  Thanks,
