Have a question about public Ips
-
I am new to using pfsense but I was wondering is there a way I an use this to send out an ip wirelessly from one point to another and allow the other side to connect back to me and use the internet. I hope that is not to confusing but if so let me know and I can maybe explain it a different way
thanks

It seems like you are asking: 'can I share my internet connection with a wireless client?'
Yes. ;)
Is it more complex than that?Steve
-
can you tell me where i can go to find out how to do that?
-
Search the forums for wifi setups. It is relatively easy so long as you have the right equipment. I think you need to elaborate on the setup you want. It sounds like all you want is a access point.
-
what i am trying to do is take my fiber connection at my office and be able to use equipment like point to multipoint to send different speeds out to different people over wireless equipment at the place i want to send the speed to like a home or office
-
What like a wimax connection? It is certaintly possible with directed boosted wifi or even microwave. You are going to research those technologies. Pfsense can do the dhcp and traffic shaping along with firewalling if you transform ethernet to any wireless tech you choose.
-
Yes I will be using microwave but I was told that I could use pfsense to send ips over microwave to a wireless device is the a tutorial or any info that will explain how to do that
-
I think that 'send IPs' is the wrong terminology for what you're trying to do.
You want to be able to share your fibre connection with various clients who will be connected to your site via some point to multipoint technology. Yes?
So far that description fits a cheapo wireless router! However you want to be able to control the bandwidth allowed to each client?
I believe the captive portal can do that though I don't use it myself.
Otherwise you would run PPPoE or PPtP server on pfSense and have clients login that way. However I'm unsure how you would use that with traffic shaping. Do you get a separate interface generated per PPPoE client. :-\Steve

ok I am trying to do something like clear where I can push internet from my office using microwave point to mulitpoint to antennas on a tower and then be able to get that to a wireless device for a customer to use internet at a speed that I can set for each device pretty much trying to become an isp that can push faster speeds then clear and I was told that pfsense will be able to route out all the ips from my office to those wireless devices
-
Ah Ok. You have a bunch of public IPs and you want to assign them to your remote clients.
Yes you can do that and it makes traffic shaping easier. There are a number or forum users doing similar things.
This is a relatively complex setup though. Depending on your budget you may be better off contacting bsd perimeter direct.Steve

is there anywhere that shows how to setup pfsense to do that
