      Thanks for reply timthetortoise.

      ''Going from your LAN rules, you should be able to access your OPT network''
      That's the problem… I am able to go on 10.10.10.1 form LAN (desktop), but some how I can't access to my access point (10.10.10.4 access point IP) from LAN. There are no other rules there...

      '' in your OPT1 interface should not be in there if you want to block OPT1 traffic to LAN ''
      yes I want to block OPT1 to LAN.

      '' You likely have a problem elsewhere, most likely in either your testing methodology or your routing ''
      I am testing https://10.10.10.4 in browser to log in to my access point. also try http://10.10.10.4 but no luck
      If I use https://10.10.10.1 then pfsense log in page show up.

      If you need other info please let me know...Thanks

        Is your default gateway set on the access point?

            Again, what is the default gateway on your access points? If it's not 10.10.10.1, they will not be able to communicate with your 192.168.1.x network.

              IP: 10.10.10.2
              DHCP: disable

                  When you try to browse to 10.10.10.4 what is the error given? Timeout? Rejected?

                      Pfsense box LAN interface is set to https
                      OPT1 interface is set to https but on OPT1 interface the Captive Portal is set to http.

                      Is this set up can cause this problem??

                          Download nmap and do a port scan of the access point. Make sure HTTPS is actually showing up. If it's not, but other ports are and/or you can ping it without any special rules, you've got a problem not related to pfSense.

                              So since port 443 isn't open, why would you be able to connect to HTTPS? Try to connect to http://10.10.10.4

                                  Unless you have settings on your client machine that you're not revealing, don't know what to tell you. Good luck with it.
