      hi
      I put on a server pfsense, with two network adapters
      1 wan on DMZ
      2 Lan on the inside net.

      The LAN network must also be accessed by other networks, other than configured
      how can I do? I would normally have added routes

      help me

        Lan network needs to be available from what other networks exactly?  Sounds more like your wanting to use pfsense as a downstream router and not an edge firewall/router.

            The best place for that is the edge.. Or you run into hairpin and or asymmetrical routing.  And why would other networks need access to lan behind pfsense if pfsense is proxy for lan?

            Post drawing of your current network and where you are thinking of putting a proxy.. But to be honest if all you want it a proxy why would you be installing a distro (pfsense) that is designed to be a firewall/router - while it has package that adds ability to be a proxy, that is not its main design.  Wouldn't it just be easier to install squid directly on the box you want to use as the proxy?

              I installed a proxy with squid, squidguard and sarg. But blacklist management is not for everyone and reports are bad.
