Firewall configuration for group 3 is as follows

Username: admin

Password: pfsense

First thing to do is add another network interface if there is not already 2. Set the first interface to the WAN and the second to your LAN.
After turning on your firewall, you should be at a screen like this:

Select option 1 to assign interfaces and make sure that WAN is assigned to em0 and LAN is assigned to em1

Head back to the main menu and select the option 2 to set interface IP and follow these steps:

Select 1 again to pick the WAN interface

Do not use DHCP for the WAN IPv4 address

Our wan IP address is 10.0.17.203

You are using a 24 bit subnet mask

For the WAN, your upstream gateway is 10.0.17.2

Use the gateway as your IPv4 name server as well

We will not be using IPv6, respond no when asked about DHCP.

Press to bypass IPv6 configuration

When asked about HTTP for the GUI, respond no (we want to use secure https)

Select 2 again to configure the other Interface's IP Address

Select 2 to pick the LAN interface

We are not using DHCP

Your LAN IP Address is 172.16.1.2

You are using a 24 bit subnet mask

You do not have an upstream LAN gateway (you are the gateway for the LAN). Press

No DHCP

Press to bypass IPv6 configuration

Do not enable a LAN DHCP Server

Do not revert to HTTP

This is what should be shown after finishing assigning IPs, we are done with the console configuration portion now

Open up a browser and head to https://172.16.1.2 and bypass any certificate warning

Complete the setup wizard and follow these steps as these are the only settings that the defaults are changed

Skip over the wizard and leave the setting checked to override the DNS server on PPP/WAN
