      Well if it's not actually in bridge more I'd expect pfSense to pull a private IP on it's WAN as long as it's set to DHCP.

      You probably would have to power cycle to modem to be sure it isn't locked to the MAC address of whatever client you had connected there initially. Or spoof that MAC address in pfSense.

      @Richard-1 said in No DHCP on proxmox:

      On my Win11 VM I receive ip configuration from DHCP server, on my physical PC no DHCP configuration received, I need to enter ip, subnetmask, gateway, ... manually to connect to network.

      It's the way you have it setup...please see here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/virtualize-proxmox-ve.html

      Did you connect your physical PC to pfSense LAN? Nothing is wrong to connect manually though. You should consider amending your title as Proxmox doesn't do DHCP.

      android phone connected to a proxy and make a vpn connection

      Ok I'm a bit confused - are you saying your phone can not connect to this vpn connection unless it bounces off this proxy?

      If pfsense can make a vpn connection to where your phone is connecting or any other vpn service on the internet, then you could route all clients behind pfsense through this vpn.. This is just a client vpn connection on pfsense and people do this all the time..

      Pfsense does have the ability to use an upstream proxy, but I am not sure if it would then route its vpn connection through this proxy?

      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-misc.html#proxy-support

      I take it your goal is to use pfsense to route your device behind pfsense through the vpn connection? Which users do all the time. What I am confused about is the added proxy? My understanding of the upstream proxy feature of pfsense is so pfsense can access updates and packages. I am not clear on if you set this upstream proxy, and then setup a client vpn connection in pfsense if it would make that connection through the proxy.

      But once pfsense has this vpn connection, it is quite simple to route devices behind pfsense through this vpn connection.

      edit:
      If you want your vpn client on pfsense to bounce off a proxy, those settings are in the vpn client setup

      @wingrait said in Network Drive Slow Performance?:

      10Mbps = 1.25MB/s with no other overhead.

      hahaha - well problem solved ;) Glad you got it figured out.. Bytes vs bits is hard sometimes hahahah <ROFL>

      edit: btw thanks for pointing out the actual issue, vs just walking away leaving the thread hanging to keep egg off your face..

      The B vs b thing bites everyone in the butt at some point, reminds me of still the constant question about wireless, but the router says it can do 1900mbps on the box - why am I only see 200 ;) hehehe

      Guys, I just started over on this. I know I should troubleshoot these types of issues instead of starting over. But I did start over and I have a working Pfsense firewall. Something I've been working on for a long time. Now the hard part will be for me to build and configure my pentesting lab behind that firewall.
