New WAN link over same network

[carlos_enrique_valdes]

Any other suggestion? or a way to configure it?
Thanks!

do you have a free physical interface on the pfsense ?

without a physical interface or VLAN i don't see how to get this working reliably.

Hi heper!

Yes i do have one physical interface available on my pfsense.

use the free interface in the way you intended it in your diagram. (make the WAN4-modem your gateway)

Ok, maybe i dont understand or I didnt explan myself correctly.

I have already the antenna connected to one of the switches on the remote area and into the WAN4 interface on PFsense. The router on the antenna has a different subnet 192.168.7.x.

I can ping anything on the www using the WAN4 interface but, apinger shows the link is down and there is no traffic going through that link.  I assume and please correct me if Im wrong. The private IP that i have in the PFsense (192.168.7.10) needs to be translated to go to the outside..

normally, pfsense should create the correct NAT rules autmagically, when you specify a gateway on an interface. (Only when AON is enabled)

if you haven"t specified a gateway: create one
if AON is disabled and you want to keep it that way: you'll need to add NAT rules yourself (interface WAN4, source=your lan subnet, destination:*, NAT-address=WAN4-address)

This is very annoying and cant resolve it!!

I hate asking dumb questions but I've tried everything..

let me tell you what i have right now:

I figured out that the ping responses came through another WAN connection (this is because I had no Gateway assigned). Now the problem i think is my configuration on the interface. I have configured the interface as an static ipv4 with an ip in the same range as the WAN4, please remember that the internet connection runs through a private address across a different subnet as my LAN.

I tried adding the NAT rules manually, but they all make sense when i switched over Manual Outbound NAT rule generation. ok this is the rule i found to be most important.

Here is the configuration of the interface….
please note that all the configurations say WAN3 instead of WAN4.... (this is to discard NIC problems, since wan3 was working alright)
