right ok I think I've done that

That looks right yes.
Now you just need to fix your hybrid rules if you want vlan5 to go out your vpn connection.
-
So I would need to add a rule for 192.168.5.0/24 LAN to WAN?? altho I have an automatic rule with that.
BTW thanks for your help, I'm learning, albeit slowly!
-
No you need an outbound nat so that pfsense will nat 192.168.5 to one of your vpn interfaces.. You only had 192.168.1 in your hybrid natting to yoru vpn interface ips.
Why would you need a rule for lan to wan?? Wan net is not the internet - its just wan net, that is it... Your rule on sending vlan 5 out your vpn would send it out a vpn... But you had no outbound nat to nat 192.168.5 to vpn interface.
-
I added a rule to one of the vpn interfaces that I have outbound
https://ibb.co/4TspV7G
Is this correct?
-
Again those wan outbound hybrids are POINTLESS!!!
And how you sure that outbound nat is gong to use that vpn interface, if your policy routing it out a group... What if it goes out a different vpn interface?
-
So i have the following configuration and I still have no internet connectivity on the pc plugged into port 1 on the netgear switch. The VLAN5 interface is up, I have outbound NAT rules and firewall rules in the VLAN tab. I just dont understand it at the moment????? It should be relatively simple.
on the pc i get a dhcp lease but am unable to ping 192.168.5.1 or google.com
LAN is on 192.168.1.
VLAN is on 192.168.5.here are some more screens of the configuration.

https://ibb.co/HTCjhpNI've just read that you cannot send vlan over vpn!

Not sure how that NordVPN stuff works, but I think you need the 192.168.5.0 natting out the VPN gateway instead of the redundant WAN. Why don't you just verify the vlan works out the WAN first. I'll refrain from giving my opinions of 'privacy' vpn providers.
RE: That last link, i'm not sure what JP is on about- you can't carry the vlan tag over a VPN, but you can absolutely have a vlan interface with a unique subnet and route that. My experience however is with site to site tunnels. -
I thought that as well, getting it to work with the WAN first so I added the following mapping...

still no internet, It has to be something stupid that I'm not configuring properly...

Well then look to the client for why... Can you arp pfsense 192.168.5.1 on the client? You have no rules allowing to ping pfsense.. Its possible everything thing is getting shoved out your policy.. So no you wouldn't be able to ping 192.168.5.1... Create a rule above your policy route rule that allows ping to vlan address
I've just read that you cannot send vlan over vpn!
Your reading that WRONG... That has nothing to do with what your doing, which is routing a specific network/vlan over a vpn connection.
As to getting to the internet - well how and the F do you think its going to go out your vpn which your forcing via your policy route.. But your not natting to it... We already went over this!!!
What I would highly suggest you do is get your vlan 5 working as a normal network before you worry about shoving all its traffic down some vpn connection.

@johnpoz What I would highly suggest you do is get your vlan 5 working as a normal network before you worry about shoving all its traffic down some vpn connection.
that's what I'm trying to do
@johnpoz Create a rule above your policy route rule that allows ping to vlan address
By policy route rule you mean a firewall rule in the vlan tab that allows me to ping vlan address?
if i do arp -a 192.168.5.1 i get

@r79c said in Netgear/Vlans/Pfsense:
I dont get a response with arp 192.168.5.1
Look in your client that is on this vlan 5, look in its arp table.. If you do not see pfsense mac address then NO your never going to be able to ping it.
And would say your not getting dhcp from it either..
I am assuming this is a windows box.
lets see its ipconfig /all
ping 192.168.5.1
look in your arp table
arp -aThis is WRONG
Interface: 192.168.5.0 --- 0x7Post your ipconfig /all
Your interface sure and the hell should not have a .0 address with a /24 mask.

arp -a on the client gives me

Well is the mac address for 5.1 pfsense mac address. Where were you seeing 5.0? for your interface?
You have something really F'd up
192.168.1.125 192.168.1.201 192.168.1.202You shouldn't be seeing 192.168.1 address if your in vlan 5!!!
-
@johnpoz yes the mac address for 5.1 is the mac address of the lan interface
5.0 must have been a typo
two of those 192.168.1 address are static IP mappings for devices
192.168.1.125 is the IP address of an access pointall these IP addresses go through port 3 on the netgear switch which is connected to a wireless access point mesh

Doesn't matter! So you created those on the device directly with arp? For why? It is pointless, and does nothing - sure and the F not going to work..
I take it basic understanding of how vlans actually work, and what they do is where we need to start..
-
@johnpoz So you created those on the device directly with arp? For why?
I statically mapped those IP addresses using Pfsense with arp yes, why, because those two devices are TV's which I did not want to put the traffic over VPN connection.
@johnpoz I take it basic understanding of how vlans actually work, and what they do is where we need to start..
sure, your the only one responding to this, and I'm grateful because I can't seem to get this working at all!!! I'm starting to wonder why I'm bothering really, as I only wanted to setup up one VLAN with one PC on my home network LoL

Dude ON THE CLIENT!!! we need to see the arp table on the CLIENT that is in vlan 5 and connected to port 1 of your switch... Not the arp table of pfsense!!!!

And no matter what you did with static arps on pfsense they would not show in your clients arp table.. You do not have your vlans setup how you think you do if your seeing arp entries from 192.168.1 on your box that is suppose to be in vlan 5
This is switch setup
pfsense - 1U,5T --- switch --- 5U --- vlan 5 clientIf that is how you have it setup, you should NEVER see arp entries for anything other than what is in vlan 5

Yup that is BORKED
You should not be seeing 192.168.1 address if your in vlan 5.. So your switch is clearly not setup correctly. or its not doing what it should be doing.. If you were in vlan 5 it would not be possible for you to get arp answers for anything in 192.168.1
