      Hello to all,

      I am trying to create the network shown below :

      |–-------LAN
                            |
      WAN ------- pfsense------ WIFI (opt1)
                            |
                            |--------- DMZ (opt2) bridged to WAN

      I have enabled filtering bridge. Access from WAN to DMZ is by default blocked and  I can use specific rules to open specific services to specific servers.

      The problem is about configuring access from the other interfaces to DMZ. I have already practiced with WIFI and it seems that traffic is not disabled by default from WIFI to DMZ. It is not even  possible to block access even if I use block rules in the WIFI interface.

      Am  missing something???

        I have examined the logs and the connection between a WIFI_IP 10.0.0.200 and port 80 of a DMZ_IP xxx.xxx.xxx.198:80 is passed as the connection between 10.0.0.200 and 127.0.0.1:80.

        It seems that for a strange reason pfsense box regards that the connection is not being made to the DMZ server xxx.xxx.xxx.198 but to the box itself 127.0.0.1
