      hi folks

      at the moment i have my WLAN(ath0) bridged with my LAN(vr2) interface and everything is working as should (more or less).

      now i want to set my WLAN interface static, so unbridge the whole thing. but now none of the firewall rules seem to work anymore (not even any-any) - can someone tell me why? and how to i get it working this way?

      thank you in beforehand

        You need to create a rule for the WLAN interface.

          Firewall rule?

          have 1:
          any -> any

          that also goes for the other interfaces ;-)

            What exactly do you mean with unbridge the whole thing?
            Do you want it routed?
            What IP's are you using where?
            Also can you show a screenshot of your firewall rules on the LAN and WLAN interface?

            We do what we must, because we can.

              i basically have the WLAN interface bridged to the LAN 10.10.1.1
              and then that goes out to the WAN 10.10.0.2 (gateway 10.10.0.1)

              so now i want the WAN interface to stay as it is, the LAN stays with 10.10.1.1
              but then i want to remove the bridge and set the WLAN to be 10.10.2.1
              and then LAN and WLAN should exit through the WAN interface (but still be able to access eachother)

              on all interfaces i have the rule ANY -> ANY set
              as long as i have the WLAN in bridged mode with the LAN interface the firewall rules seem to pull - eg. when i set a restriction to a certain host
              as soon as i change into the explained goal scenario it seems as the rules just get ignored
