      I meant which diagram.  Start piece by piece, one interface and function at a time until you're done.

      A comprehensive network diagram is worth 10,000 words and 15 conference calls.
      DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

        Plan A, first pfsense firewall. I'm not worrying about firewall inside the ESXi server yet, moving one at a time.
        Thanks!

          Where are you trying to make NAT happen?  pfSense or VM pfSense or both?

            I'm trying to NAT both, but starting with Bridge. 192.168.1.0/24.
            My configurations of firewall are attached to give more clear idea.

              What are the bridge members?  (goddamn bridges, why?)

              Read this:  Especially the very bottom.

                I weird. I just removed the ESXI from the AP port and placed AP onto 192.168.2.1 network and lost connectivity completely. Getting the 169.x IP address now I am locked out cannot access Web Panel, really strange.

                  Are you attempting some CARP/HA, or what exactly is the virtualized pfSense supposed to do there, beyond needlessly complicating things and causing general headache and mess?

                    That is my project that I am working on. Its gor my digital forensics lab where ill have workstation lab to which ill be remoting into. Other than that I'm trying to make as complicating as possible where I'll be connecting other routers to the network. Im more of a Cisco IOS never used pfSense before.

                    I'm just trying to get the pfSense 1 to work and get it online. If someone has a configuration file with multiple NIC's so I could try it out.

                    Thanks!
