pfsense Enable WAN using shell

* Install pfSense  on your target machine

* Unless your WAN gets a DHCP address, you will need to manually assign the IP Address of the WAN interface:
  --> Get to the CLI (option 8 )
  --> Type "ifconfig en0 10.20.30.40 255.255.255.248" (substitute en0 for your WAN interface and use the correct IP Address/Mask)
  --> Type "route add default <default-gw-ip>"
  --> Type "pfctl -d" to temporarily disable the packet filter

* Point your browser to your WAN IP address then login as admin/pfsense

* Once you have done your initial configuration, MAKE SURE to enable the packet filter again (CLI --> "pfctl -e")
