      Hi

      I Just installed a fresh pfsense 2.0.1 i386 with multi processor kernel.
      I did a fresh install no old config loaded, i set all new.
      Im running it in vmware workstation 9 (setting: freebsd, 1 cpu 1 core, 4gb hdd scsi, 2x bridged to 2 real nics.)

      My Scenario is:
      LAN > static, 10.10.1.10/24
      WAN > pptp, local adr: 10.0.0.140/24, remote adr: 10.0.0.138

      These settings work perfect in pfsense 1.2

      Problem:
      The Firewall is blocking GRE/TCP Traffic, i can Ping google from the pfsense and the LAN PCs, but no internet traffic is going through, meaning no websites are loading.

      Because i am no experts with routing and firewalls, i dont know what i schould do.
      Hoping for help.

      Thanks

        Hi

        So i searched a lot and i found a few people that have the same issue when using PPTP ADSL.

        Found a workaround:

        edit file
        /tmp/rules.debug

        edit
        WAN = "{ pptp1 }"
        to
        WAN = "{ em1 pptp1 }"

        command
        pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debug
        execute

        It works, internet is going :)
        But this workaround only lasts till a flter reload is made. Then i have do to it again.

        Has anyone a permanent solution for this ?

        Thanks
