      hello,

      is bridging the only way to make one net access to another???

      f.e.

      eth1 is internet and eth2 network/lan

      when lan clients should access to internet, have i to bridge the interfaces? or can i configure lan-clients with firewall rules to access internet interface?

      thanks for reply!

        No, normally you'd using routing or NAT.

        In your case, simply configure "eth1" as the WAN interface and "eth2" as the LAN.  pfSense will take care of the rest.

          good morning,

          when i configure f.e.

            Configure appropriate firewall rules.

            For more helpful answers you need to provide more information, not least of which are your IP ranges in use on your LAN and a screenshot of your firewall rules for your LAN interface.  Details of your pfSense version would be useful, as will be details of any other changes you've made to the default configuration.  If it's working bridged then I'm guessing that you've got another router connecting your to your ISP that you've not yet mentioned.

            If you are uncertain, reset your pfSense install to defaults before continuing.

              pfsense 1.2.3-release (stable)

              f.e.

              eth0 = 192.168.10.9 / 24  - wan (gateway 192.168.10.5, dns 192.168.10.5)
              eth1 = 192.168.10.10 / 24 - lan
              opt0 = 192.168.10.11 / 24 - wan2 (gateway 192.168.10.4)

              i want to use over lan (eth1) f.e. only wan2 connection over gateway 192.168.10.4 and dns 192.168.10.4

              how can i do this?

              THANKS

                Your WAN and LAN are one the same network, which means it is impossible to route between them. Try this instead:

                eth0 = 192.168.10.9 / 24  - wan (gateway 192.168.10.5, dns 192.168.10.5)
                eth1 = 192.168.20.10 / 24 - lan
                opt0 = 192.168.30.11 / 24 - wan2 (gateway 192.168.30.4)

                What are your 2 gateways in this example? Is pfsense connected to a couple of routers? modems? modems in router mode?

                db
