Same subnet range on LAN and WAN
-
Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to configure a pfsense using the same address range for the external and internal network.
e.g:
WAN interface: 62...158/27
WAN gateway: 62...129/27
LAN interface 62...157/27.158 and .129 are external the rest of the subnet is internal.
I would also like to forward some ports on the WAN interface to a LAN-address.
Can this be done with natting?Thanks for your help.
KR,

No, no network will function that way, regardless of the product.
What are you trying to achieve?
-
Bridge the WAN to the LAN and then you can use pfSense as a transparent firewall.

It should be fine though.
You should set the 'Suppress ARP messages' in system, advanced otherwise you will get a lot of arp messages.And yes, you can use NAT to forward inbound connections.
Seen as though your WAN address is private, you would need to configure your modem/router (device with actual WAN IP) to forward the requests.
But I must add.. this is a poor design.. :)

Hi,
bridging just works fine, but why don't you create /29 within /27 subnet? you can create fully routable 4 subnets in one /27 subnet.
Happy routing :D
cheers,
