cannot reached to local network from another site when enabled failover
-
Hello,
I have a problem when I enabled failover on my firewall rule below.
When I using failover I cannot ping or access to local network e.g. site A cannot ping to local network on site B
It's a limitation or I'm missed configure. any idea please help.
Thanks.

A filter pass rule with a gateway or group stated (policy routing) directs any matching traffic to this gateway.For traffic which must not pass this gateway, you have to create additional rule and put it above of the policy routing rule.
This also concerns access to pfSense itself.So if the remote network is 10.0.0.0/24, add pass rule to the top of the rule set and state this subnet as destination.

I have checked the system log and the policy was passed but I got a ping timeout.

For sure, the traffic was passed, since your rule allow any to any. But the packets are directed to the gateway you've stated in the rule. Hence it can never reach the remote site.
