Need explanation

Hi,
I am new to Pfsense and need explanation.My current setup is :
ISP (modem/router)>>>>>>PfSense>>>>> TPlink router acting as WIFI AP/switch.
And everything working as it shoud.
My desktop is connected to the tplink with lan cable and my laptop and rest of the device trou wifi.
One of the rule I set is to reject all device traying to access web gui of ISP router. And rule seems to be working great for all devices connected with wifi but it doesn't work for my Desktop which is connected with lan cable to the tplink.
So my question is why why firewall is making exception for desktop pc when it shoud treat the same all devices connected to tplink as they are all on the same subnet. -
@nsduke Is the TP-Link producing a WiFi connection on a different subnet? on a VLAN? What are the rules set up for on the Firewall section?
A network map (crude or nice, either way) and some screen shots of your firewall rules will be helpful here. More detail is better than none.

Hi @rcoleman-netgate, thank you for your time.
I feel so stupid now, there is perfectly logical explanation.
Tailscale, it's one of the reasons I started to use pfsense because I am behind CGNAT.
And because most of my testing and experimenting coming from my laptop I totally forget to check Tailscale client on desktop, somehow it was connected and working in background.
Last time I checked I am sure it was disconnected and really don't have need for it on desktop machine, except maybe for experimenting because there is already tailscale on pfsense itself and is working great.
