      @Koval88:

      So if I understood it correctly, get rid of first three and add one for UDP? I'll disable IPv6 as I'm not using it. Anything else I'm missing?

      Do you have some reason to block something? If not, what's wrong with ANY as protocol? At minimum, you DO want ICMP/ICMPv6, in addition to TCP/UDP.

        Technicly you're right I have no reason to block anything internally in LAN, that's what I'll have my second firewall for and will place my VM's inside NAT on the Virtual pfSense.
        I did what you guys have told me but still unable to ping even with specific interface sites lily Google and 8.8.8.8.

          You will never be able to ping anything with ICMP not allowed…

            Internally yes but external hosts/sites I should be able to right? At least I was able to when it was working. Still have no internet access on the bridged LAN. I'll draw a map in few hours of my network once I'll get home.
            Thanks!

              Sigh. Allow ICMP if you want ping to work…

                Wow - Thats twice doctornotor said to be sure to allow ICMP and he was uncharacteristically polite about it….  I'd try allowing ICMP.

                  I have uploaded my network diagram. Right now all I'm trying to accomplish is to just get internet access working then I'll start planning on the virtual network.
                  I still do not have internet access, not sure what I am doing wrong. Interfaces are in up status but no internet access from either one. I've rebooted pfsense multiple times still same issue. Thanks!

                    Which of those are you currently trying to get working?  How many 10.129.0.1 interfaces are you planning on putting on one network?

                      I'm trying to get both working. 192.168.1.1 and 10.129.0.1 network. Hoth have same configurations but no internet access. I do not know what's blocking it.

                        I meant which diagram.  Start piece by piece, one interface and function at a time until you're done.

                          Plan A, first pfsense firewall. I'm not worrying about firewall inside the ESXi server yet, moving one at a time.
                          Thanks!

                            Where are you trying to make NAT happen?  pfSense or VM pfSense or both?

                              I'm trying to NAT both, but starting with Bridge. 192.168.1.0/24.
                              My configurations of firewall are attached to give more clear idea.

                                What are the bridge members?  (goddamn bridges, why?)

                                  I weird. I just removed the ESXI from the AP port and placed AP onto 192.168.2.1 network and lost connectivity completely. Getting the 169.x IP address now I am locked out cannot access Web Panel, really strange.

                                    Are you attempting some CARP/HA, or what exactly is the virtualized pfSense supposed to do there, beyond needlessly complicating things and causing general headache and mess?

                                      That is my project that I am working on. Its gor my digital forensics lab where ill have workstation lab to which ill be remoting into. Other than that I'm trying to make as complicating as possible where I'll be connecting other routers to the network. Im more of a Cisco IOS never used pfSense before.

                                      I'm just trying to get the pfSense 1 to work and get it online. If someone has a configuration file with multiple NIC's so I could try it out.

                                      Thanks!
