Configuring Lan Ip Address & Subnet Mask - pfSense SG-4860 Quick Start Manual

Private addresses are reserved for use on internal LANS and blocked from outside traffic so these address
ranges may be reused by all private networks.
The following in-bound address Ranges are blocked by this firewall rule
10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.255
127.0.0.0/8
fc00::/7
Bogons are IP addresses that are reserved and should not be seen on the Internet. Check Block RFC1918

Configuring LAN IP Address & Subnet Mask
Figure 14
A static IP address 192. 168.1.1 and a subnet mask of /24 (255.255.255.0) was chosen for this installation. If
you don't plan to connect your network to any other network via VPN, the 192.158.1.1 default is sufficient.
Select NEXT to continue.
Note:
If you setup a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from remote locations, you should choose a private IP address
range more obscure than the very common 192.168.1.0/24. IP addresses within the 172.2.6.0.0/12 RFC1918 private
address block are least frequently used. We recommend selecting a block of addresses between 172.2.6.x and
172.2.31.x for least likelihood of having VPN connectivity difficulties. An example of a conflict would be If your LAN
is set to 192.168.1.1 and you connect to a wireless hotspot using 192.168.1.1 (very common), you won't be able to
