Installing WiFi Card in working machine.
-
should be: wifi net
check your lan rules for example

thanks for the tip.
i checked my lan rules.
1. has source: lan_net, dest. any and gateway wan dhcp.
2. has source: lan_net, dest. any any.
when i assigned the wifi interface, should i did it from interfaces -> assign?
i noticed that when i did this, there was no wifi-lan and wifi-wan interfaces like there is with lan and wan.
also on interfaces, there is a wireless tab. should i have added it there instead?i don't which method allows me to set up a corresponding wifi gateway for the firewall rules.

Unless you have multiple WAN connections, there is no need to set the gateway, and it will prevent LAN from talking to Wireless.

i noticed that when i did this, there was no wifi-lan and wifi-wan interfaces like there is with lan and wan.
also on interfaces, there is a wireless tab. should i have added it there instead?The wireless tab is used for creating cloned wireless interfaces, like if you wanted to have two SSIDs with different rules, e.g. a guest wireless that was blocked from LAN, and a regular wireless that could access LAN.
i don't which method allows me to set up a corresponding wifi gateway for the firewall rules.
You don't need a wifi gateway. You don't need to set a gateway on your rules.

thanks for the advice,
i copied the default allow lan to any rule for ipv4 and replaced "lan" with "wifi" and source "lan net" with "wifi net." destination is "any" and no gateway.
for the next rule, i did the same thing but this time i used the protocol tcp/udp, same source of "wifi net" and again destination as "any" and no gateway.
i still have no internet access though.
am i missing another rule?

1/ Post screenshots.
2/ What's exactly "still have no internet access"? -
no internet access means after connecting to pfsense wifi and obtaining an ip address i am unable to browse web pages.
i am able to ping the router though.

Uh… Have you considered disabling the VPN mess out have there?!
-
i can't change the vpn. i need 2 different openvpn connections.
would openvpn have an effect on the wifi part?
-
Dude we have no idea what are you doing there and where's the traffic going. And you apparently have not 2 but 4 VPN interfaces, two for LAN (?!?!) as well?
Good luck.
-
vpn is set exactly as it should be.
works 100% directly followed from airvpn.i'm concerned about the wifi.
are the rules correct, or if not, what should i do to allow my to browse the web?thanks
