            They have a forum too. You should probably start there.

            If there are bugs, etc, you are encountering we won't be familiar with them.

            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

              huh?  Just commented on how big your balls must be to ask for help on the distro your chosen distro stole from ;)

              Somewhat like banking with Wells Fargo and then going to Chase bank and asking them to help you balance your check book - only bigger balls than that ;)  Since Fargo didn't steal the idea of checking from Chase.. Nor the software to run the checking accounts in the first place.

              If you decide to install pfsense instead be more than happy to help you out.  As I already stated your wan interface is listed as your wifi card… Change it to your 2nd wired nic, or use vlans and should be fine if you only have 1 wired nic.  Your drawing shows 2 connections looks like to me.

                Locking. OP if you have a question about pfSense software, please start a new thread.
