With static IP address, pfsense clients cannot access the Internet.
-
@mp26
If your pfSense is behind a (router-)modem with NAT, the internet access has nothing to do with static or dynamic public IP. The Public IP is managed by the router and pfSense uses the router as gateway. -
^ exactly... What is the make and model of the device you got from your ISP... And what are the exact details your ISP gave you for setting up static... It sure and the hell is not some IP/mask - you need a GATEWAY IP to make that work!!!
-
@viragomann The static IP doesn't have the same settings. The problem arises when the static IP gets static IP.

@johnpoz my device tplink w9970 modem. ip 78.186.95.153/32.
-
That is NOT a modem its a freaking gateway that is a NAT router... What IP it has on its wan has ZERO to do with pfsense..
If you want it to be a MODEM then here
https://www.tp-link.com/uk/faq-1332.htmlThen if you want to set a static public IP on pfsense your going to need more than IP/mask - you have to KNOW what its gateway is!!!
-
This system will be used in school. it is quite important to me. I am computer teacher. I'm waiting for your help. I don't have static IP with the same modem.
-
I'm having trouble with dsl not using static ip with same modem.
-
I set the modem to bridge mode. I made a ppoe connection at pfsens. wan ip was 78.186.95.153. ISP dns information has arrived. However, I can not ping the rope from the wan interface, although I can not ping.
-
Ok so if you have your PPPoE connection working pfsense.. And you want to ping this IP from the internet you would have to allow that on your firewall rules.
If you want to get to something behind pfsense then you would need to setup a port forward..
What exactly do you teach in computers - clearly its not networking ;)
-
@johnpoz office, php, html vs.. :)
I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to do it. -
I've just started to learn pfsense many settings I've been here.
-
Do what?? Allow ping to your wan interface? Port forward?
All this basic stuff is well documented..
See link to book in my signature or read the docs.

it is very complicated
-
you can agree if you want paid help. at an affordable price
-
I don't do homework for students. school internet security and monitoring is a very important issue.

I really hope that's not true

@grimson soryy was wrong :) false paste

does anyone know

:(

Yes we know - ask a specific question.. Have given you links to the book and the docs.. Its a simple firewall rule to allow ping to your wan IP. Its simple clickity clickity to forward a port..
What exactly more help do you want? If you need someone to hold your hand then contact support and pay for such service..
Such threads are very frustrating in that you say you teach computers yet can not read documentation for the most basic concepts.. Post up a picture of your rules that you set to allow ping to your IP.. And show that it actually got a public IP, etc. etc..
Maybe you would have better luck in your native language section? I am not sure what else do you need - what part of the port forwarding instructions do you not understand. What part of how to create a firewall rule to allow ping do you not understand..
You stated you got your PPPoE connection up and running - so clients behind pfsense can access the internet right... And when they go to whats my IP . org they get back the IP you think is your static IP, etc..
