        Setting up a port forward? Sure: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/book/nat/port-forwards.html

        If the m440 is using only the igb NIC and it's the LAN it might need it's default route setting to your upstream pfSense in order to reply though.

          The M440 will have a default address of 192.168.1.1 on the LAN interface which is a valid IP address on my network. I will be able to access the device from any computer on my network.

          So, can you provide details on how I would setup port forwarding in pfSense to allow you in?

              I got it.. Just need to restrict based on your IP address. I had to add some routing on the pfSense setup on the M440. It is working.

                Were there any information in the WatchGuard OS boot log file that were useful?

                                I had the same issue with the 24 ports not working on pfsense. This is from the WG boot:

                                As you can see watchguard uses a custom lib libwg_pss and some others to make this happen. I'm now trying to use the WG kernel and libs to create a linux distro where all the ports are accessible.

                                  I have 2 of these units. It would be great to get the units working with pfSense. Let me know what help you need from me.

                                    More eyes on this can't hurt. 😉

                                    Indeed WG loads a driver for the switch device and then configure it to accept the individual VLANs on the three igb NICs.

                                    It would be good to get a second opinion on connecting the switch serial console header internally if you can try that.
                                    If we can get any access to the switch that might help. It seem unlikely we would ever get a FreeBSD driver for the switch devise but if we can configure it via serial then we would only need an igb driver that recognises the phy (or lack thereof).

                                    Steve

                                      Hi Stephen,

                                      I just purchased a third M440 on Ebay for a cheap price. I know we worked on trying to get pfSense to recognize all the 1GB ports on this unit last year and were unsuccessful.

                                      I'm willing to donate the third M440 to you if you would like to continue the effort to get this unit working with pfSense. I can ship the unit to you. Let me know what you think.
