      Hi,

      Question. Hopefully someone can help me out with this issue.

      When i set up dual wan ( balancer ) tier 1 + tier 1.
      My admin comptuer cant talk with devices on the other lans/vlans, only the lans/vlans gateways.
      So if i pinging the gateways to every lans/vlans that works fine, but when i try to ping/connect to the devices its not working.
      So to make it work i have to change the gateway from balancer to default or make a rule over the balancer rule with default gateway to ping/connect to the devices.
      if i choose wan 1 or wan 2 on gateway i get the same issue as i do with balancer so the only thing that works if i want to talk to my Lans/Vlans is to use default gateway,
      so every time i want to make a change on my servers or anything else on the nettwork I have to go in and change the rules to " gateway: default " and put the rule back afterwards to balancer.

      Does anyone know what I have to do to be able to get " wan1, wan2 or balancer " to talk with the other lans/vlans network?

      Thanks in advance.

        In the explanation above, I wrote gateway, but meant the static ipv4 for the lan/vlan that I can ping. new to pfsense and network, so I'm a bit confused here. anyway updated explanation below

        When i set up dual wan ( balancer ) tier 1 + tier 1.
        My admin computer cant talk with devices on the other lans/vlans, only the lans/vlans static ipv4 for the lan network.
        If i ping the static ipv4 ip for lans/vlans that works fine, but when i try to ping/connect to other ip`s/devices on the network its not pinging/connecting at all.
        So to make it work i have to change the gateway from (dual wan / balancer) to default gateway or make a rule over the balancer rule with default gateway to ping/connect to the devices.

        When i run Packet Capture with dual wan ( balancer )
        and ping static ipv4 for another lan port or vlan network ICMP echo request get reply asap no problems
        but when try the exact same thing on a device on the vlan nettwork it does not get reply at all, just timing out and 100% loss.

        If i change dual wan ( balancer ) to default gateway
        Then every request gets replyed asap and everything works fine.
