I've set up a pfsense linux server thus:
desktop (served dhcp address) ->pfsense LAN (dhcpd server on 192.168.1.1) -> pfsense WAN -> virgin cable (modem only mode)
pfsense server has two nics. one serves a LAN (dhcp enabled) and the other WAN. The openvpn client (airvpn) works fine, i've managed to get to the internet from the desktop. However, in this configuration:
desktop->N66U->pfsense->virgin
It doesnt work.
I was hoping to use the dhcp server on the n66u to serve my household connections on 10.0.0.x. With the WAN connection on the N66U plugged into the LAN on the pfsense, with static IP set up with 192.168.1.2 and .1 respectively.
Not happening. In fact the router goes nuts. At first I can reach the http front end, then it dies. I'm not sure why this is happening though as the crashes (in web front end) seem to be intermittent, both with and without the cable in the WAN connected, so i cant work out if it's the router at fault or pfsense.
I'm using latest Merlin build 376.49_5.
