i found it
First question? Why are you breaking everything out into a 192.168.20.x subnet when you have the pfsense at 192.168.1.x ?
Did you create VLAN interfaces ?
but my plex dosent match my port foward
’
Looks like you create a rule by hand ?
No need to do that.
yes I have vlans
I have 2 vlans.
I use an access point with 2 ssids,
Here’s my one VLAN (Guest WiFi is isolated from everything)
there is no need (IMHO) to micro manage a home LAN behind a pfSense.
Interfaces:
Assigning and VLAN tagging.
but the plex is hardwired to the “main Vlan”
If the Pfsense is 192.168.1.x , That’s VLAN 1 (main VLAN).
Your PMS should be on the same subnet.
ok, i’ll try to figure that out. I’m running 2 vlans out to a tplink sg108pe smart switch. although there is a trunk going to my GS access point. its confusing I know.
I would step back .
On paper, draw out what you want.
-
I would put your main things (like PMS) on your main VLAN (LAN interface of the pfsense)
-
If you have other things which must be on a separate subnet, those are VLAN 2 (for the
.2subnet) or VLAN 20 (for the.20subnet). Make names align. It will save all kinds of confusion in the long haul
yes, The only reason for the 2 subnets is that i use “eye pee tee v” and the isp throttles that. but amazon prime doesnt work on the vpn, ergo the 2 ssids are easy to switch on a wifi device.
VPNs have their purpose,
I say this in all consideration of the pain you’re now going through.
Don’t over do it. Too much tin foil hurts .
If you really need more input on the Pfsense config, they are Masters over on their forums.
Run your ideas by them on the pfsense forum.
Invite their suggestions.
You’ll like what you get back . VERY helpful.
We can help with Plex but what you’re really asking for here is kinda out of scope.
the extra is the “Normal” connection.
the guy with the devil horns can be a wise guy, he pisses me off
Ask for honest input…
Tell them what you want to do.
They helped me and this is what I ended up with. It works and is simple as heck to admin… so simple i’m building my own now (2.5 GbE → 10 GbE capable)
