      Hi, I am installing pfSense for the first time and i have only one NIC. I dont know how to configure it as only NIC re0 is assigned to WAN and there is no NIC left for LAN. I have gone through different threads but I am unable to understand. Kindly please can anyone describe me how to configure this?
