      Hi,

      I'm using qemu kvm and i've created new vm for pfsense. I'm planning to use it as a router.
      Below are my configuration.

      Gateway : 172.16.1.1
      Physical Host: 172.16.1.10 on eth0
      Set bridge mode - eth1 and configure as WAN with DHCP (172.16.1.234/24)
      Set bridge mode - eth2 and configure as LAN with IP 10.16.44.1/24

      Ok now the issue is.

      • From vm (pfsense router) im able to ping gateway(172.16.1.1) and physical host (172.16.1.10) but i cannot ping  WAN IP 172.16.1.234 from physical host.

      From Physical host
      ]$ route -n
      Kernel IP routing table
      Destination    Gateway        Genmask        Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

        1. you have to add a rule to WAN to allow it to respond to pings
        2. the Block Private Networks rule on WAN will likely stop all inbound traffic from your real LAN
