      Where are you testing from? How are you testing?
      What firewall rules do have?
      Do you see hits in the firewall logs when you try to access the other subnet?

      Steve

      I was pinging it from windows side, win 7 and other win 8 it was time out. I managed to get it working, by adding 2 firewall rules. I attached 2 pics. Thank you for you help. I love when things starting to work out!!!!!

      **EDIT

      I got excited…. I cant access my NAS server with //192.168.1.3, but I can access web gui, any ideas?

        By '//192.168.1.3' you mean access it as a Windows share? And you can access it that way from within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet?
        Does your NAS have any restrictions? It may not allow traffic from outside its own subnet. It may not be able to respond if it doesn't have a route back, so bad subnet mask or gateway.
        Does the NAS have any logs you can look at?

          yes I meant windows side, and yes I can access it within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Its a FreeNAS. Im trying to find the logs but I don't see any, but here is network summary I got on freeNas:
          Name IPv4 Address IPv6 Address
          em0 192.168.1.3/24
          Nameserver
          192.168.1.1
          192.168.2.1
          Default route
          192.168.1.1

            This could also be windows firewall getting in the way. It will see the NAS as being in a different network zone so may not allow the traffic deppending how you have it set.

                Yes if your going to route all traffic out a specific gateway, your vpnv4 then you have to allow rules to get to your other networks.  You can use the aliases for the network in the dropdown list, ie lan and rtn66u

                See how your lan rules show lan net for the source.

                    I would not expect that to make any difference since those aliases are what you already had in place; LAN net = 192.168.1.0/24 and RTN66U net = 192.168.2.0/24. Unless I've misread something.

                      doesn't make any difference to the rule..  but just makes it look cleaner ;)

                        Yep, also means you don't have to change the firewall rules if you change the interface subnet.
