My intent was a down and dirty, quick test to get things up and running. If I am successful with this test, I will eventually purpose build a machine to different specs and re-architect things. The Wi-Fi is simply for me to manage the single machine on the LAN, not some major thoroughfare of traffic. I would like for them to talk to each other too.
LAN and Wi-Fi can grab DHCP addresses from pfSense, and go out the VPN. I also set up the WAN to route to a commercial OpenVPN provider. The built in Ethernet port is the WAN (re0), I installed a USB Ethernet adapter (ue0), and bridged ue0 and the Wi-Fi (ath0). I discovered pfSense a week or so ago and set up a laptop with 2.2.6 to test it out on. I found more chatter about pfSense here than on the Network Engineering SE, so I figured this would be a good place to ask for help.
However, I was not able to make use of the answers, and I didn't realize, but I don't have enough rep here to comment to bump them to get answers (I do elsewhere though). The auto-suggessted topics by Server Fault were very relevant. This is a test, and there is 1 machine behind pfSense that I wish to manage, and Wi-Fi makes that easy. EDIT: Why would I want to do such a thing?
