Getting ready

The LAN interface is used to connect your devices to a secure internal network. A properly configured LAN interface is required.

How to do it...

How it works...

You've just defined your first internal network. If you've been performing the recipes in order, you've now met the minimum requirements for a fully-functioning firewall! You've defined one external network (WAN) and one internal network (LAN). You can now define the rules and relationships to regulate traffic between the two.

There's more...

You can now connect a switch to the LAN interface on your pfSense machine. This will allow you to connect multiple computers to your LAN network.
