PfSense as a firewall

Post by wifiuk »

I have a lot of port forwarding setup on my Billion router.

I'm trying to setup PfSense as my firewall.

So i want to turn off all port forwarding and have the pfsense handle it

PfSense is currently dealing with DHCP and its setup like this

INTERNET < ----- BILLION <----- PFSENSE <----- Stuff

Everything has pfsense as the gateway then it goes onto the billion

Can one shed some advice?

Is the 7800N setup as bridge mode?? If so all you need to do is setup port forwarding your pfsense device
