      Hi,

      I have only one issue, but I think that we have two ways to solve it.

      Some computers on my network should have their traffic only by a specific ISP, always. But FTP is the most used service on them, and pfSense only allow FTP traffic on WAN. I use a PPPoE connection on WAN and a DHCP on OPT1.

      There are two ways to solve it, I just need to know which one is possible, and how to do it.

      • Force FTP traffic to to through OPT1.
      • Use PPPoE on OPT1.

      Thanks in advance,
      V.

        If you are using 1.2.3-release, PPPoE on OPT1 is not possible, thus the PPPoE should be set up on the WAN interface.

        Regardless, you can force FTP traffic to go through either connection with a LAN firewall rule.

          All ports I can forward to OPT1, except FTP. I saw on some pfSense doc telling that due to some weird stuff, FTP can traffic ONLY via WAN. :(

              It only works only on the WAN if you use the FTP-helper.

              If you disable the ftp-helper on all related ports, configure manually a passive port-range on the server and then forward 21 and <your_port_range>from WAN and OPT1 you can access it from both.

              Also see: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Howto_setup_ftp_server_behind_pfsense</your_port_range>

              We do what we must, because we can.
