      When connecting a LAN port on a 2100 to an unmanaged TrendNet 24 port GB switch, I lose my network

      @the-other Thanks. the interface is set to auto... the TrendNet will auto negotiate at whatever is needed up to GB speeds

      Bouncing the TrendNet makes everything work...for about 5 minutes... this is driving me crazy

      @miracuru
      As was mentioned by @viragomann the "Default deny rule IPv(4|6)" logs are normal. Actually they show that pfSense is doing its basic job, which is (by default) blocking all incoming connections to WAN.

      You could implement a firewall rule on the WAN interface which does the same thing, but doesn't log the blocks. Enable that rule when you don't want pfSense to record all the WAN blocks in the logs. If you want to start logging the WAN blocks, just disable your rule and the defaults will kick in again.

      Also, it may be possible to directly connect the enpf4s0 and enpf7s0 interfaces to pfSense via PCI-Passthrough. This will depend on hardware compatibility, but could be worth looking into; just food for thought.

      @azdeltawye that's amazing tech. I had to fix a couple different remote post office sites a couple years ago because lighting hit the telephone line and it shorted out the router's wan cards by way of the ports. They had zero protection on the wan line coming in.

      the network card of the motherboard is disabled in the bios

      Most of us who use Proxmox reserve that port for Proxmox...makes it a lot easy, and once you passthrough the PCIe NIC in your setup, Proxmox won't have a gateway. Please visit here: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/virtualize-proxmox-ve.html

      Hmm, I'm not sure how to show that per interface. Possibly some combination of netstat -i and netstat -Q

      @sameerchouksey do you mean these 2 network segments directly connected to pfsense?

      Or do you mean their are either upstream or downstream networks that get to pfsense via a transit network?

      @johnpoz said in How to keep networks separated:

      Seems odd to me that your saying pfsense is getting a public IP - but other devices are getting 192 - this isn't normally how a gateway in bridge mode works.

      That's how the att garbage works. Their gateways have what's called passthrough mode. Via dhcp it assigned the public ip to a single device on the lan side.

      However, the public ip still remains assigned to the gateway's wan as well. It's a pseudo passthrough mode of sorts, fake bridge.

      The end result, customer's device (router, pfsense, etc) has what appears to be a public ip as well as the gateway. As such, the gateway can assign various private ip's to other devices (wired and wireless) connected its ethernet ports and/or wifi ssid. A traceroute behind the customer's router (pfsense or other), will show the gateway ip as the first hop (192.168.1.254) rather than the real wan gateway.

      For those of us on fiber in areas not get upgraded to xg-pon, several bypass methods exist which eliminate the isp gateway box entirely. The best is extracting (or buying) the 802.1x certs then implementing them in software using wpa_supplicant. This gives customer full access and control of the network, no double nat, etc. Also a /60 PD for ipv6 vs /64 from the gateway box.

      The other methods still rely on the gateway box in one manner or another.

      @stephenw10
      Just to confirm, if anyone else reads this thread and have the same problem.

      Installing a 1G transceiver in the SFP+ port on auto negotiation, did solve my problem, and I'm using it as a WAN interface now on 1G speed.

      Not sure this is a Traffic Shaping issue or something else, OR a combination of many things.

      so your problem is now solved with this

      added this to my advanced custom options within the OpenVPN client setup:
      ;pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway;

      Yep - works great now, no thanks to ExpressVPN support.

      Yes, it is official, I am stupid! 🙄

      I use limiters and I had them also acting on my LAN interface! I've now updated the relevant firewall rule to only apply when "destination NOT LAN net." With that change, iperf is now back to normal.
