      So, I started adding my LANs each has a different ip for instancec:

      LAN1-100.100.1.1
      LAN2-200.200.1.1

      Both have access to interenet I have enabled the DHCP on both LANs everything works EXCEPT file sharing.

      I have pfblocker enabled and i suspect that is the culprit but I am not sure.

      If i attach the pc from lan2 to lan1 switch boom everything is fixed I can see the folder but once i put it back to lan2 it goes bye bye..

      Any help or tutorial would be fantastic

      P:S: I can ping each subnet successfully as well so they def communicate with each other

        @kilasin pfblocker would really have nothing to do with file sharing between 2 local networks.

        Windows normally is not going to allow file sharing from some other network.. I would check your host firewalls to make sure they allow file access.

        Your not routing traffic out some specific gateway in your rules on your lan 1 and lan 2 are you?

          @johnpoz well im runing pfsense in VM from unraid.. I have shared in unraid the folder i want to share. I have done everything in my windows setup from my computer not sure how to set it up in unraid i suppose.

          As for the gatewards they are good no crazy stuff.

          I just set the 2 LANS seperate and not bridged because i do want some privacy from one another and wanted my UNRAID server to have its own LAN then LAN2 can connect to that 1 specific folder I wanted to share but I cannot seem to find a way to share it.

            @johnpoz Well Just figured it out. It was UNRAID SERVER Problem ..

            So for people using UNRAID and having pfsense in VM and sharing a folder. PFSENSE has nothing to do with it you need to configure your unraid and then map your address where the sharing folder exists.

            For instance in windows I had to map the drive for example: \200.200.1.30 (unraid server addy) (this is not my real address but you get the picture) and boom you get access to that folder you wanted to share. OMG 5 hrs later found easy solution but thanks for clearin up the pfblocker has nothing to do with it..
