      I want the untagged normal traffic AND the tagged VLAN traffic to be sent to the switches and the APs, and just the guest access via Wifi by choosing the relevant SSID (if that make sense!)

        If you have setup a switch correct to receive untagged (lan) and Tagged vlan20,
        that would make sense.

        Then you have another switch port where the unifi is connected ?

        Are you running tagged vlans to the Unifi (ssids)

          I just want to get a guest VLAN working. The devices get an IP via the tagged SSID on Unifi, but no traffic passes

          I recently set up a Unifi AP with pfsense on an old computer. I had previously set it up for another AP, but it works the same. You add a VLAN to the pfsense interface and use the same VLAN ID at the AP. If you have a managed switch in between, you will also have to configure the same VLAN on the ports connected to pfsense and the AP.

            That is already set up - Guest SSID with a VLAN tag of 20. A device connected to that SSID gets an IP from the right DHCP pool, but the traffic doesn't get out of the LAN, hence it's useless!

              I suppose you mean WAN ??

              Can you ping the pfSense Guest interface from a Wifi client ?
              Can you ping 8.8.8.8

                Here's what I have for my rules:

                These work well. They block the guest from accessing anything on my network, other than pinging the VLAN3 interface.

                    We are talking about the WiFi clients , that cant access the internet ??
                    Or did you mean LAN ?

                      @JKnott I'm pretty sure it isn't rules that is the issue. Yours are simply rather more elegant versions of mine! I still cannot get onto the Internet from the guest vlan

                        And you're sure it's not an DNS issue ?

                        can you ping : dns.google.com
                        does it resolve ?

                        Can you ping : 8.8.4.4

                              Can you ping the wifi def-gw (the pfSense Guest interface) from a wifi device ?

                              If you disable the "bloc access to lan" rule on your wifi nterface , can you ping lan devices ?

                                  Take things one step at a time. Can you ping your VLAN interface by IP address, not host name? The WAN port? The ISP's gateway? If those work then your routing is set up correctly. If you then try something like google.com, and it works, then your DNS is OK. This is how you troubleshoot a problem. Otherwise, we have to guess and make suggestions.

                                        Since you don't get the pfSense box as DNS servers on your WiFi clients , you must have changed the default DHCP Server settings.

                                        You haven't changed the DHCP Server Gateway option , have you ?

                                          And to follow your checklist, I can ping the VLAN gateway when on the VLAN SSID. I cannot get any further than that.

                                            Did you try to remove/disable the LAN block rule on the Guest Vlan ?
                                            Can you then ping the Lan IF , and/or a Lan device ?

                                            Something is fishy ....
                                            Smells of missing or wrong def-gw.

                                            But if you havent touched Anything besides what you have posted in the dhcp screenshot. PfSense should hand out the interface address as def-gw.

                                            And that you can ping.

                                            Hey ...

                                            That screenshot is not DHCP Server , that's the IF
                                            You haven't set any upstream gw on the if ... have you
                                            Dooh missed it was set to none
