            No, but setting up a 1 on 1 session with info is. I assume if these sort of basic questions are being asked there are going to be follow up questions.
            Its easier to teach this with the use of teleconferencing/screen share.

              We're not allowed to tell you that. 😉

                For the benefit of others, you need to:

                • Enable the interface and set a static IP and subnet (bigger than the /32 default, probably /24).
                • Enable DHCP server on that interface.
                • Set pass firewall rules on that new interface to allow traffic out. Only the LAN has pass rules there by default.

                  Steve,

                  Interesting problem is that even the LAN cannot get out to the internet after running the initial configuration.

                  The only place is can ping/traceroute anything is via the diagnostic tools.

                    pfSense, by default, is DHCP client WAN, DHCP Server LAN on 192.168.1.0/24, pass all LAN traffic, and NAT on the WAN address.

                    This works in a majority of setups. And works out of the box.

                    If you have a different WAN or want a different initial LAN numbering scheme, run through the configuration wizard at System > Setup Wizard.

                    DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                      Hi @itsnotjack,

                      What is Firewall > NAT > Outbound NAT Mode set to?

                      Thank you,

                      -James

                        The most common cause of that is a subnet conflict between WAN and LAN, the same subnet on both is invalid.

                        If that is the case change the LAN to something else such as 192.168.100.1/24.
