      I'm trying to set up pfSense as a transparent bridge in between my 2 networks and my cable modem.

      Basically, I have

      1 WAN adapter plugged into my cable modem
      1 OPT1 adapter going to my "private" network (bridged with WAN)
      1 OPT2 adapter going to my DMZ network (bridged with WAN)

      it's been VERY long since I've worked on getting my OPT1 adapter to pull a DHCP address from my ISP… now that I have my DMZ network, the device behind the bridge on OPT2 is not getting an IP from DHCP.

      I see.

      udp  172.29.253.94:67 -> 255.255.255.255:68  SINGLE:NO_TRAFFIC

      In my state table, so I know the DHCP reply is getting blocked by the firewall...

      I've got * * * * rules for my DMZ network, basically allowing anything WAN -> DMZ

      I've also tried allowing 172.29.253.94:67 to the broadcast network 255.255.255.255, etc and so on...

      What am I doing wrong? How can I get the device plugged in behind OPT2 to get it's IP from my ISP's external DHCP server?
