      In your diagram I see you have a private IP on your WAN interface and a public IP on your LAN. Did you configure your network in this way for a particular reason?.

      If so, how is Interfaces/WAN/Block Private Networks set?.

      Saludos.

        Dear maaraojo, by default, Interfaces/WAN/Block Private Network was checked…. Does it block traffic from WAN to LAN? I hope it is not.

        Hmm, I checked those servers. It is indeed those servers default gateway were not set to pfSense Box. Should I need to set their default gateway to pfSense box? I heard one of my friend said that it is not necessary must set those servers default gateway to pfSense box. He said install a proxy server on pfSense box would solve those default gateway. What he said was correct???? Need advice..... ??? ???

            Thank you, maaraujo….

            Unfortunately, at moment I still don't have "authority" to modify any setting on the Server. I have to wait me superior officer to do those setting on server.(add default gateway to pfSense box instead of XYZ firewall)

            I'll let u guys to know the latest update soon....

              Dear GuRUs…. one question, if I set default gateway to pfSense firewall, all of the traffic response would be going to pfSense box which is not suitable. I would like to ask is it possible to implement WAN traffic packet from pfSense box toward web/mail server will reply back to pfSense and WAN trafic packet from XYZ firewall toward web/mail server reply back to XYZ firewall???? Please refer again for the below network diagram.
              For Your Information, XYZ has reverse proxy....

              Thank you so much!!!! ::)

                  Hi, friend,,,,

                  1. check your ADSL Router pass all port to pfSense WAN interface.
                  2. pfsense ports forward are 80, 143, 25, 110 for web and mail server.
                  3.all your server default to pfSense LAN interface.

                  good luck..

                      i think can set to 3 gateways or more, but it defference VLAN and subnet on your servers and then easy subnet pointing to easy gateway. why not you optimized to single pfsense firewall have 1 wan (default), 2 OPT1, and 1 LAN?, and using balancing feature or policy routing for outgoing, and multi homing for incomming.

                        Dear Gurus, due to the servers behind the pfSense box couldn't set a default gateway to 192.200.9.7, I would like to implement a reverse proxy after pfSense box so that remote users from WAN maybe (hopefully)can access to servers without set a default gateway on those servers. What would you think? Is it possible?? Please refer following network diagram. Thanks!!!

                          i think you can set server default gateway to 192.200.9.7, but i don't know what devices is "reverse proxy ".
                          i see your diagram "reverse proxy ", is basic proxy server with bridge function right?. if yes, can your files server ping 192.200.9.7?. if can, you can set to that. if your server can't ping to 192.200.9.7 please resolve packet filter or routing on your "reverse proxy ".

                          good luck

                            Unfortunately, those servers behind pfSense Box are not able to set default gateway of 192.200.9.7. Due to this problem, I'm planning implement a Reverse Proxy (Pound) after pfSense box. From my noob understanding, with reverse proxy attached to the network, default gateway(192.200.9.7) is not required to be set on those servers…. am I rite??? ??? ??? Thanks for feedback...!!
