      Team,

      I have a secondary device handing out DHCP to a guest wireless network.

      All traffic coming from this AP goes through my LAN.

      pfsense is blocking traffic coming from this subnet.

      Is there a way I can have pfsense allow that subnet to pass through the internet?

      Regards,

        I guess the guest wireless AP is behind (is it itself) an internal router that is itself sitting on your LAN. If so, then just:

        1. Add a pass rule on LAN for source IP the guest WiFi subnet
        2. Add a gateway in System->Routes with the IP address of the internal router on your LAN.
        3. Add a static route for guest WiFi subnet, to the gateway from (2)

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
