<![CDATA[want to disable dhcp from pfsense]]>I use pfsense firewall only for filtering traffic so basically i dont want PFSense firewall to provide dhcp ip's that are connected to its lan.
I tried to disable the dhcp in PFsense, then LAN connected to the pfsense doesnt get internet in it so all devices drops internet. Please advise.

Then take a look here on how to setup the bridge..

How to use PFSense as a firewall between router and clients without enabling DHCP on pfsense, so that router gives out DHCP IPs and pfsense firewall only tracks incoming and outgoing traffic between clients on LAN and router

And if you want to use pfsense for internet - then your dhcp server static setup would have to point to pfsense IP as the gateway.
