      Ouch, seems like they ripped out OpenVPN for the wr940n because of only 4 MB flash. 😶

          Or you could get a router for like $20 that has more than 4MB of ram ;)

            @johnpoz hi. Now I have the pfsense running in my pc as vm in virtualbox. Yesterday i tried to configure the solution that you explained to me. I configured my ISP Netgear SW as bridge, but when I tried to set up the interface wan by DHCP I didn't get a correct IP. it took 0.0.0.0 and the default gateway in the range of the 192.168.0.X. I tried to configure the wan interface static, and assign it inside the range of my IP Public (73.124.X.X) when I assigned this I tried to do ping or tracertroute to 8.8.8.8 but nothing responded. Please any ideas?

              Yeah I saw that thread.. Why are you bringing questions to another thread?

              There was very competent people helping you in that thread.. I saw zero reason to chime in on something without enough info..

              I never said anything about bridging anything btw.. Not sure where you got that Idea - never saw anyone mention that at all..

              tplink tl-wr940 sure isn't something you would need or want to bridge its just a router.. If you want to use it as just an AP, then just turn off its dhcp and connect it to your network with one of its lan ports.

              What you might want to bridge to put pfsense wan on public would be your isp gateway device, ie a modem/router combo - when you just want to use it as a modem.

              What is in front of this wr940? What is the make and model of that device?

                  What is the ISP device in front of the tplink?? If its a cable modem and yoru going to connect a different device or router to it then it will most likely need to be rebooted

                    @johnpoz yes it is a modem. But my issue is in the pfsense configuration when i set up the netgear router in bridge mode. when I tried to set up the interface wan by DHCP I didn't get a correct IP. it took 0.0.0.0 and the default gateway in the range of the 192.168.0.X. I tried to configure the wan interface static, and assign it inside the range of my IP Public (73.124.X.X) when I assigned this I tried to do ping or tracertroute to 8.8.8.8 but nothing responded.

                      Waht is that netgear??? what is the make and model.. If its some gateway device your gonig to have to get with your isp if actually supported. And your pfsense is running as VM on some laptop.. So the laptop prob grabbed your 1 public IP, etc.
