      Good morning
      I saw that Pfsense only allows you to create one Lan.
      How can I create more Lan?
      For example

      LAN 1
      192.168.1.0

      LAN 2

      192.168.2.0

      LAN 3

      192.168.3.0

      What works should I use?
      I don't want the VLANs

        Look again, use any of these official sources :

        Not offcial, but fun : how many interfaces for pfSense ?

        Take a minute or two (max) and you find people who mounted dozens of 'LAN' type interfaces.

        You are actually limited to number of PCI slots in your system.
        If that's a limit, change your system ^^

        edit : Look here : https://shop.netgate.com/products/5100-pfsense
        The interfaces labelled 'LAN' are all LAN's with their own IP network.
        Not a switch or VLAN's.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Assuming you have 3 NICs-

          You just configure each NIC with the sub-net:
          re1 192.168.1.0/24
          re2 192.168.2.0/24
          re3 192.168.3.0/24

          If you have one NIC you just set it up with the correct netmask:
          re1 192.168.1.0/22

          Will give you 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.3.255 on one NIC

            If you don't want to use VLANs, you'll need a separate interface for each LAN. The Qotom comptuer I use has 4 Ethernet ports, so I could have 3 LANs without using VLANs.

            PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
            i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
            UniFi AC-Lite access point

            I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
