Unable to access Internet from WIFI AP
-
@NogBadTheBad At work so just vpnd home and checked
net.link.bridge.pfil_member
net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge as suggested and it appears to be off.Please see attached screenshot.
Looks like I will have to run packet capture tonight.
Hmm i'm stumped then.

If you use the wan interface on a ADSL or cable Wi-Fi router you'll be routing between its wan interface and the lan & Wi-Fi interface.
There will be a NAT of your public IP address on the pfSense router then another on your ADSL or cable Wi-Fi router.
Many here will agree.
Probably missed the distinction between cable/adsl router and "normal" counsumer router (without modem). I would assume that they would work in a similar fashion. Please disregard my comments if they dont!

Ok, the DHCP server is definately pfSense we can put that issue to bed. It is not an issue with DHCP.
$ ipconfig getoption en0 server_identifier

I am perplexed why pfsense is not answering. Please note the packet capture file is in cap format.
-
How about doing the same test but packet capture on the wan interface, is traffic exiting?

You mean for traffic originating in WIFI Interface going out of WAN ? As LAN interface is working there are around 30 odd devices using internet via LAN interface. So, traffic is definately exiting WAN.
-
Not sure if the interface is busted. This pfsense is running in Supermicro SYS-E200-9B box with 4 intel NIC.
I have just moved the AP over to IPMI interface which was sitting there unused and voila it is working. I can connect to internet. Ping pfsense and do everything!!
I will now have to perform further testing to see if this interface is playing up.
Really appreciate all your help. Specially, NogBadTheBad you have been extremely helpful.
Cheers!!
-
The good news is interface is not busted. I deleted the interface and recreated it. Swapped the name around and created this interface as IPMI added rule in the interface to allow any to any. And now it works.
Must have been some config in there from my previous days of bridging the interface. Really happy to have this resolved now.
Cheers.

192.168.3.1.53: UDP, length 39
So that is your client at 192.168.3.3 asking for dns.. Pfsense does not answer - so no how would the client go to any website? if can not look it up. So looks you do not have unbound running or forwarder working at all.
Or you don't have any firewall rules on this interface to allow access? The lan interface would have a default any any rule on it. Some new interface you created would not have any rules you would have to put either an any any or the rules you would like to allow.
Pfsense will create behind the scene firewall rules to allow for dhcp to work.. But I only see this

23:37:25.457435 IP 192.168.3.1.67 > 192.168.3.3.68: UDP, length 300there should be more.. from what have to assume is the discover there to FF:67, the answer would be a offer - but you should then see a request and ack..
But clearly from this whatever .3 is sending traffic to .1 (pfsense).. I take it .3 is a wifi client? So where are the rules on this interface on pfsense?
