        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 ;)

                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.

                Do you do your students homework for them? ;)

                                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..

                                  no sources in Turkish. Every computer knows everything. Everyone's space is different. How much do you charge?

                                      I do not charge anything because I do this for FUN... ;) Sometimes way more than other times - threads like this just give me a headache and to be honest from some your statements weep for the future generations education ;)

                                      I have given you all the info you should need, if you have specific questions than ask specific questions with specific details.. Post up pictures of the settings you have don that you feel are not working, etc.

                                      This is your best bet - I suggest you get a support contract since it seems like your going to need it..
