Lost default gateway and Permission Denied

xefil

Hi to all,
Due I'm without a stable internet connection because I've moved to new house, so I'm trying to share my Windows10 internet connection using a tethering WiFi from a mobile phone. Ok, it's only temporary, to allow update some packages in my home LAN.
To do that, I've bridged mi Internet-Wifi network with the Ethernet LAN connection. The Ethernet LAN connection goes to the WAN port of my pfSense. Then, due the WiFi has a dhcp, I've obtained on my router this ip: 192.168.0.190 with GW 192.168.0.1.
So I've changed the WAN IP of my pfSense to 192.168.0.2 added a new gateway (now it's the only present) with GW 192.168.0.1. Until here all ok.
I've noticed that if I ping the GW from the pfsense it works ONLY if I specify the WAN interface, even if the 192.168.0.1 is configured as Default Gateway.
BTW, looging into the pfSense, seems the defaut Gateway is missing.
I've tried to disable / enable the WAN, add and remove GW monitoring and whatever, but nothing works. At least I've noticed into boot messages errors like those:

/sbin/ifconfig: Permission denied

The routing Table is missing the default gateway:

Ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,
Even trying to reset the IP I get:

Please wait while the changes are saved to WAN...
 Reloading filter...
 Reloading routing configuration...sh: /sbin/route: Permission denied
sh: /sbin/route: Permission denied

 DHCPD...

The IPv4 WAN address has been set to 192.168.0.2/24

This permission denied is not normal, or?

Thanks, Simon

Permission denied

Hello!
Nobody has ever got the "Permission denied" error? :-)
Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying the whole week-end to solve this issue. No suggestions really? Please :-)

Hi all,
Ok solved by myself. Strange was those "Permission denied" errors, so I've ended first trying a factory reset and restoring a backup, then, 'cause this didn't help, I've reinstalled the whole box and restored the configuration. After that, all went back to work.
Hope that helps someone.
Cheers,
Simon
