DHCP Passthrough

eviltomato

I have my pfsense box with a public ip behind my ATT router.

As of lately i noticed that my pfsense box is no longer handing out DHCP addresses and all of my devices are getting IPs from my ATT router.

I checked and the DHCP forwarder\relay does not seem to be turned on. That setting is all i can think of that would force clients to bypass the pfsense dhcp.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

@eviltomato

DHCP requests are broadcasts and shouldn't pass through a router. How could they pass through pfSense? Perhaps you should describe your configuration.

I had block private networks unchecked on the wan side. checked the box and its fixed. Thanks

That doesn't make sense unless your WAN and LAN are on the same network, which shouldn't be the case.
