      Hi. Pfsense n00b needing some help. Can't get net access for starters.

      My modem ( half bridged mode ) IP is set as 192.168.1.253 / 255.255.255.0 ( I tried 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.252 to allow only 2 ip's but modem wouldn't accept that) The second IP was going to be used to allow access to the modem webgui from the plan - can't do that either.

      PFsense box:

      wan ip  192.168.1.253 modem
      wangw 192.168.1.253

      lan ip    192.168.2.1 to switch

      I can ping 192.168.1.253 from diagnostics, but can't ping outside.

      Edit. Ping 8.8.8.8 gives me 100% packet loss.

      Tried giving wan IP 192.168.1.254, left wangw as 192.168.1.253

      I have been searching and trying other solutions I have read.

      My modem is a modem/router with voip. It apparently runs in half-bridge mode. I have disabled nat, dhcp etc and only let it connect to the net and voip server.

      Default any lan source to any destination in firewall/lan
      also added lan net to wan net.

      Probably missed something simple.

        I don't think half-bridge will work with pfSense, I had a configuration like that due to my ISP requiring PPPoA. I changed my modem in order to manage PPPoA–>PPPoE and get full bridge (pfSense will manage PPPoE authentication).

        Said that, we need more details:

        • Connection Type

        • pfSense NAT outbound (screenshot)

          Enabled NAT on the modem and everything is working.

          What a PITA.

          Consider this thread closed.
