      I have recently bought a SG1100 firewall. I am working on setting it up but I have some weird networking requirements and require some help. Here is a picture of what I am wanting to do image
      So from the diagram what I am wanting to do is have each of our client point to the pfsense firewall on eno1. From there pfsense forwards the traffic on eno2 to either the Hotspot/router1 (r1) or Hotspot/router 2 (r2) depending on what is the current setting in pfsense to forward to. I plan to have a server update the rule on the days of the month they reset though the CLI or a rest api I put in.
      The glitch to this is that all interfaces need to be on the same subnet because both routers provide Wifi in different part of the house. I dont want to get extra wifi access points if we already have the hotspots that work very well for us.

      Thanks for the help in advanced!

      Here is the link to the pihole form, that lead me down this road. I was tring to do this with pihole in the beginning but found out that would not work.
