VMware workstation, Arch Linux and pfSense - cannot ping LAN
-
Guys, I'm trying to deploy my home lab but it seems I've got a problem with promiscuous mode / package forwarding.
I've got the following setup:- VMware host running Arch Linux connected to my home network (192.168.1.0/24) via wlp2s0 (intel wifi card). IP: 192.168.1.192
Routing table:
default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp2s0 proto dhcp src 192.168.1.192 metric 303 172.16.0.0/24 dev vmnet8 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.0.1 172.16.78.0/24 dev vmnet1 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.78.1 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp2s0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.1.192 metric 303 192.168.13.0/24 via 192.168.1.254 dev wlp2s0
- pfSense running as VM, having two network interfaces:
- WAN: 192.168.1.254 (em0), bridged to wlp2s0
- LAN: 192.168.13.1 (em1)

The problem is that I cannot ping LAN IP address from my Arch host (of course I can ping WAN interface) - I've checked and icmp packages do not arrive em0 interface:

I found VMware KB https://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_net_advanced_linux_vadapter_promiscuous.html but I does not work in my case.
Any ideas how to solve this issue? - VMware host running Arch Linux connected to my home network (192.168.1.0/24) via wlp2s0 (intel wifi card). IP: 192.168.1.192
