Hello, I chose to set up PFSense on my PC to resolve the issue. I have a B525 modem with a stable 40/10 Mbit connection. I’m not very experienced, so I installed PFSense without realizing I needed to link my PC to both WAN and LAN. In the modem, there are four ports—three for LAN and one for both WAN and LAN. Since it supports both modes, should I connect just one cable and it will suffice? If it only works with a single connection, how can I ensure it operates as WAN? I’m currently using two cables and installed it in a virtual machine, but it still isn’t functioning properly. Someone suggested that the problem might be related to traffic not passing through PFSense, which I realized was the case when I saw the 0/13KiB value. But the actual data flow seemed minimal. What mistakes might have been made? How can I verify if my WAN connection is active?
Sure, no problem. Just let me know if you need anything clarified. I'm here to help!
I own two Ethernet cables. One links to the LAN network, while the other goes into a port labeled WAN/LAN. I’m unsure whether it’s automatically set up as a WAN port or if it needs configuration to function properly.
I don't know if your Ethernet cable is connected properly, especially when PFSense isn't functioning.
Understanding your reasons for choosing PFSense is important. It helps ensure the solution fits your needs effectively.
You can restrict bandwidth usage. It seems you likely won’t be able to do this on your modem.
That port is on the router, not PfSense, and it requires two ports.
