Port tagging on APU2?
-
@JeGr Thanks for that! So in the absence of that switch config, how does one tag the lan interface so that VLAN traffic flows through it?
-
If you don't have a managed switch, you tag not only the LAN interface on pfsense, but also on every device you want to use the VLAN. This is easy enough to do with computers, but many other devices don't support VLANs.
These days, go with managed switches. They're cheap, but avoid TP-Link.

@JKnott all my switches are Unifi
-
I have a Unifi AP and a Cisco switch.
-
I have an APU2 and a unifi ap as well. I can confirm the APU2 and pfsense VLANing does work since my unifi main wifi network is a VLAN coming from pfSense. However, I also had issues creating a seperate wifi VLAN with the unifi. I think it's mostly my not understanding the unifi stuff or something odd with the unifi since at one point I couldn't even get it to work at all after what I thought was a small change. I had to completely reset it.
I don't have a unifi switch however, mine is a Dlink. I would say make sure all your unifi software and firmware is up to date. Not sure if this video might help? His videos are very good and it sounds like exactly what you're trying to do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNAAfja_ZOYEdit, it also might be worth making sure your BIOS is up to date on the APU2 or at least check the release notes to be sure your not missing some fix that could be related to this.
-
Yeah, the Unifi config is a bit strange. However, working with VLANs is fairly simple. Just make sure your VLANs match across all devices, including any switch you pass through. I have my guest WiFi on VLAN 3, so I configured that on my AP, switch and pfsense.

Why do you use Manual nat , and not Hybrid ?
It seems like you are missing outbound nat for your guest lan : 192.168.34.0/24
Re: Switches & stuff.
Since you can ping devices on your Lan , and you get ip addresses on your guest WiFi. I'd say your switch & Vlan works fine.The reason you can't go on Inet from WiFi , seems to be that you are not doing outbound nat for that /24. And trying to send an RFC1918 ip to you ISP would not lead to anything good.

Was wondering this also.

Good catch.

Not that it matters "much" .. nitpicking
But your 3CX NAT rule at the top, is covered by the 192.168.33.0/24 NAT rule further down.@Raffi_
Thnx
This was a "tricky one" ..
I'm 99% sure it's solved after OP makes the missing NAT rule./Bingo
-
@bingo600 Thank you all so much - that did the trick in Outbound NAT!
No idea why it wasn't auto created though

In your outbound NAT settings you have "tick'ed" Manual NAT (the round dots in top)
That means no automatic nat is done.You should use either automatic or hybrid (hybrid let's you get automatic + you can add some your self)

-
@bingo600 That makes sense! It was on manual I think due to some instruction from 3CX. If I put it back to auto or hybrid will anything get changed? Or will it just affect future changes? Thanks
-
@orangehand
I'm 100% sureI would not expect it to be doing nasty stuff.
Do a backup of your config , and try to switch it to hybrid.
If anything FSCK's up , you can restore the backup , and you're back.Btw: The 3CX NAT seems redundant , it's covered by the 192.168.33.0/24 nat further down

@bingo600 OK, nothing nasty happened! Will delete the redundant 3cx rule. Thanks SO much for your help; I'm incredibly grateful.

No, just making sure he's not missing anything.
@JKnott
You're right.
Sorry about the "rant" ..
