      Current situation:

      Pfsense is working with the default settings.

      I am using a DLink Router that gives internet to the network (192.168.7.1)… Then, it is connected to the PFsense (192.168.7.4=wan), and (192.168.5.1=lan) through VMWare...afterwards, it is connected to the testpc(VMWare also) (192.168.5.2=lan and 192.168.5.1=gateway) which there is a presence of a proxy server.

      Problem:

      I need to access the testpc through the router(bridged) but the Pfsense should still be active. how can it be accessed without changing the IP addresses?? is it by MAC filtering? changing settings in the router or pfsense? or what else??? :(
