      I have 2 external connections.  One is my normal home internet which I have a wired connection from pfsense to the router for.  This interface gets a public IP.  I have a second internet connection for work (wifi only) that instead of hooking directly to the computer, I wanted to connect pfsense to as well and just route all traffic from one or two ips through it.

      Issue I'm running into is the I use 192.168.1.x for my internal network, and the wifi modem gives a 192.168.1.x address as well (in fact it uses 1.1 for the modem router, same as I use for pfsense LAN interface).

      I have the wifi connection up and running without problem and seemingly can ping stuff from pfsense (although not confident its getting routed right).  I also have the firewall rules forcing traffic for one IP through that gateway.  Only problem is that all traffic still appears to flow through the normal route.

      Overview:
      Wired WAN (primary):  Public IP (68.x.x.x)
      Wireless WAN (only 1-2 hosts to use):  192.168.1.1 gateway IP
      Internal LAN:  192.168.1.x (192.168.1.1 gateway IP)

      Any way to get this routing working somehow?  Annoyed that I can't change the IP given by the wifi modem.

        Renumber your internal LAN then.

        Using 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 or anything starting with 10. is just asking for collisions like this to happen.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
