      Hi

      I’ve installed pfsense as follow

      ADSL modem 192.168.0.1

      Switch

      pfsense wan:192.168.0.2 –lan: 192.168.0.3

      testPC 192.168.0.10

      The “test configuration” as shown above works fine!

      When I do the next setup I can use internet for about 15min and then it won’t work.
      Strange thing is that I can ping and browse to my ADSL modem but not to the lan of pfsense.

      ADSL modem 192.168.0.1

      pfsense wan:192.168.0.2 –lan: 192.168.0.3

      Switch

      complete network 192.168.0.21 - 192.168.0.30

      Anyone an idea ?

        You have Lan on the same subnet as wan?

        I would do
        If not dhcp wan 192.168.0.x /24
        lan 10.10.10.x /24

          Will this be a problem?

          I did this because I have to change all my local PC's IP and gateway addresses.
          Can I use 10.0.0.1 for my ADSL modem and the WAN of pfsense and 192.168.x.x for my local PC's?

            Yes it will be a problem

            Yes you can do that.
            (10.0.0.1 for the modem and 10.0.0.2 for the pfSense WAN with gateway 10.0.0.1)

            We do what we must, because we can.
