      Hi - I have some internal IPs that i require to have internet/WAN/WAN2 access but should not be able to access or discover any other IPs in the same LAN. Any ideas? Thanks

        @vertigo8 nothing pfsense can do about devices on the same lan talking to or discovering each other.

        For that you need to do that on your switch/wireless devices. Switch would be a private vlan. On wifi its called AP or Client isolation.

        Pfsense is involved with traffic leaving a network, to be routed somewhere else - it is not able to control what devices do on the local network amongst themselves.
