Still having some issues. I’ve now configured the 4 physical interfaces on my pfSense box as follows:
igb0 - WAN
igb1 - LAN
igb2 - All vlan interfaces
igb3 - LANTEST (not a vlan, rather another LAN)
I am using the LANTEST simply to plug my laptop directly into pfsense to allow me internet & internal access while setting up the VLANs etc.
However now LANTEST does not work! I must be doing something totally wrong here.
The firewall rules are setup like this for LANTEST:
And yet the firewall logs still show that traffic is being blocked:
It seems like both my VLAN issues and my now new TESTLAN issues are all pointing back to this Default Deny Rule IPv4 which leads me to believe I have not created firewall rules correctly, however the firewall rules for the VLANs and the TESTLAN are dead simple- allow all traffic for now.
I’ve read a ton of vlan threads & watch a lot of YT videos but if anyone knows of a particularity detailed thread that really spells it out for pfsense + Unifi, then i will definitely give it a read. I may need to pivot away from this project temporarily as it has become quite a time suck.
