Hi,

 

I am assuming someone has set this up successfully.  I managed to get  HP t620 Plus thin client so thought I would have a tinker with pfsense.
I am having real problems getting it going though,  I've read through most of the guides but am struggling to work out why the pfsense box seems to not be letting any traffic through at all.

 

So the steps I took in setting it up and followed the guides that seem to point to the same thing.

 

Adding a vlan tag of 10, setting up the pppoe and linking them.

 

Adding that as the WAN interface.

 

I can see that the WAN is connected and picking up the IP from 2Degrees.  I can see that PFsense has internet because it was able to update and grab new packages etc.

 

I can connect to the web interface of pfsense through the LAN but any traffic from the LAN that should be routed through pfsense just goes nowhere.

 

Any hints ?  I must be close....

Set a default route (unless your WAN interface is dynamically creating that).

And then a source NAT rule to NAT traffic out the WAN interface.

I seem to be going nowhere, and neither is lan traffic.

 

 

 

 

I looked at the Outbound NAT settings and turned that onto manual so I could check what settings the autoconfig had.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would expect the rule for 10.0.0.0/24 to pick up all my LAN traffic and allow it through.

 

 

 

Gateway setting seems to be ok.. 

 

 

 

 

Any further ideas or the best way to trouble shoot this?

Can you edit that "WAN_PPPOE" 'gateway' entry?

 

I would of expected there to be a tick or something in the "Default" column. Or in the 'default gateway' dropdowns, can you not set "WAN_PPPOE".

 

Your source nat rule looks fine.

Yeah, I should have pointed out that I disconnected pfsense and went back to my Asus-Merlin router so I could post the comment which mean the screenshot made it look like pfsense wasn't connected.

 

I found the issue in the end,   pfsense by default (at least in my install) was blocking everything from the LAN, added a pass rule in and I am away.

 

 

 

Thanks for all the suggestions all!
