        Hi there.

        Dealing out Private Ip's on your local LAN should be done like that. Your are really violating every network rule here.
        Everyone is on 192.168.10.x - that is not possible.

        I propose: WAN Static IP : 10.0.0.2/24 - Your gateway in front of it, the modem/router/cable box/adsl/… should have this IP : 10.0.0.1
        Your LAN : 192.168.1.1/24 - this will be the IP of the pfSense box on your local LAN (it's the default value).
        And now, run to the hardware shop, go buy a 4$ network card and slide it in your pfSense box.
        Give it Static IP 192.168.2.1/24 - this will be interface 'OPT1' - and hook up the portal interface onto it.

        Always start with easy and known solution before trying impossible - never seen elsewhere - home made - solutions.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
