Pfsense with 3 NICS
-
"my Physical Machines in the office will be able to communicat with LAN 1 ( 192.168.4.1 ) even it doesn't have Physique NIC ?"
And these physical machines are on 192.168.4.0/24 or are they on the wan that your pfsense is connected too 192.168.2.0/24 I think?
the physical Machines are using PFsense as Gateway,
on the WAN side I have just the ESXI and the ISP Modem,
all other machines are connecting to the internet through the PFSENSE( Virtual or Physiques)
all my network is going through the Pfsense.Steve yes this exactly what I want :).
thank you so much

Well then are you working.. If you removed the bridge and have firewall rules correct, change your lan2 pfsense IP to be .1 vs .0 you should be up and running.

this what I did and it working thank you so much for your help.
to do this my PFSENSE LAN1 required a Physique NIC ? right
as showed on my screenshot the Vswitch 1 has attached Physique NIC.my question is , is it possible to have Pfsense ( I mean LAN1 ) accessible to the physique machines even Vswitch 1 doesn't have a Physique NIC ?
-
Only if those machines are somehow routed through the pfSense WAN with appropriate firewall and port forwarding rules.
No, is probably the answer. If you wish to have physical machines connected to LAN1 and using pfSense as their gateway to the internet you need to have a physical NIC connected to vSwitch1 to get that real traffic into the virtual network.Steve

If they are connected to LAN, then they will so long as the rules exist. They will be on LAN subnet and accessing LAN1 resources either by IP of configured DNS name. They have do go through pfSense as a route to get to LAN1 resources. There will not be a direct path.

John Steve, and all

really appreciate everyone took the time to answer my questions ! -
@bryan-paradis This is Funny and I know this is an old topic, but sometime ago I added a 5th Nic to my PFsense, it never worked. Added VMX that did not work either, today I tried again multiple times to no avail and stared over like 3 times. Then I decided to enable track interface and I got ipv6 and it worked I could ping tracert every thing for the first time my 5th Network card was operational, just not on ipv4. I am trying to setup a vlan for wifi in another location in the building. Well I followed your suggestion above even though the path was a little wrong but I fixed the Rule that was not auto created for some reason. Now I have the extra Vlan and the 5th network card working in a virtualized pfsense.
