allow access internet problems
-
Hello everyone !
i need connect Lan network to Wan network because I want transfer all traffic and allow access internet to all users on Lan network ,for this problem am i need to create a bridge and connect Lan and wan interface together ? -
Nope, all LAN side clients are given 'internet access' by default in pfSense.
You only need a bridged setup if you need WAN and LAN to be in the same subnet. For example if you have LAN clients that need to 'discover' devices in the WAN subnet and cannot use an IP directly.

thanks for your answer ,
i can't get internet on Lan interface ,
in my topology we have to Mikrotik and one Pfsense between.net -> mik1(Wan) -> pfsense -> mik2(Lan) -> cisco switch -> Users
on mik2 we have all vlans and dhcp server and user on vlan must get ip from that and go to internet.
pfsense bydefault drop my traffic and i can't send traffic and internet on my network.
do you can help me to solve this problem? -
If you have multiple downstream subnets on the LAN you will need to add static routes to the mik2 switch and firewall rules on LAN to pass that.
The default firewall rules only pass traffic from clients in the LAN subnet directly.
Also make sure you don't have a conflict between WAN and LAN. Make sure pfSense itself can connect out from Diag > Ping.
