what additional info would you recommend me incoloding
-
hm, that would be four local interfaces (if NAS can be seen as an interface at all) plus your WANs.
How many NICs does your pfSense have or do you have a managed switch and plan on going with VLANs? -

or equivalent.
but here is were it gets crazy i was wondering if i could have several different dhcp's
Yes. One for every LAN you have if desired.
no it gets complicated i would also like to access my cctv via a vpn to use anywhere
Yes. Many do this.

….which has 6 interfaces.
4x LAN & 3x WAN needs 7 interfaces if my math is right. -
hi there jahonix i actuaerly have 6 quad nics installed
hi there chpalmer thank you for the info but i allredy have a server set up just needing to do the configering -
Hi merlin1,
Since you have the hardware with 6 nic, you can use 3 of them for wan rest for lan. If you can arrange for managed switch (to do vlan tagging) you can create vlans. Then write rules to allow or disallow traffic. I can help you configure.

Did I get that right - 24 ports? What do you plan to do with that, do you have a datacenter in the basement?
Just before this idea comes up here: it is by no means a good idea to bridge spare interfaces to create something that some users think can replace a real switch. It can't.

Seems like a waste..
From your first post this is all pretty basic setup of firewall rules between segments. But you sure do not need 24 router interfaces for such a setup..
What switch infrastructure do you have in play? Because as mentioned already nic interfaces are not switch ports.. Be happy to help you work through your firewall rules between networks - but your going to have to lay out your networks and what you want to talk to what, etc.

hi jahonix ye thats right i onaly have so meny becouse i work in the it depart ment at school and they were up grading to 10gb and was going to scrap all the old equipment i clamed some and thought i could use it in a pfsence router (as i sat you can never have too meny conections) and yes in a tecnical sens i do have a fue storage servers for freinds and family to use

unless you have separate your different networks you will have to wait til you have smart/managed switches to segment your network.
