        in the first post I created a diagram

        pfsense is not the gateway, and does dhcp, I use pfsense to vpn, and to isolate networks.

        in this case it isolates the OpenWRT

        I have another interface on pfsense, LAN interface ip 192.168.100.1, it does dhcp to other VMs to isolate game servers.

        I did not put the LAN interface in the diagram, because it will be used in this case.

          Ok.. So you want to get to this openssh from where?  Your PC in you drawing or the internet?  You still need to create a port forward on pfsense.  to the openwrt IP.  Do you have gateway setup on wrt.  Is that connected to wrt wan?  Why is openwrt your dhcp server in this setup?  so 192.168.10.1 is openwrt LAN IP?  And there is nothing behind openwrt - what purpose is it then?  Wireless? It sure can not be the gateway off the 192.168.10 network.

          So if you want to get to it from your PC you have to hit your pfsense wan IP on that port 2222, for openwrt to be able to talk back it needs to have a gateway setup that would be pfsense IP in that network 192.168.10.109

            got it!

            I got to change the settings, and set DHCP on opt1 interface, OpenWRT was set to get IP by DHCP.

            that way it worked!

            so I can let the dhcp on OpenWRT and set the 192.168.0.109 (pfsense) as the gateway.

            I'll try.

              What possible reason do you want/need wrt to be dhcp server?

                  ready

                  worked, set up the dhcp of the OpenWRT, I put the pfsense as gateway.

                  the dns I put 192.168.10.1 and 8.8.8.8

                  it's working!
                  OpenWRT has internet access, and I can connect via "PC".

                  Thank you all

                    Why do you have wrt as dhcp server?  Makes no freaking sense to me at all, why would you not have pfsense be your dhcp server for this 192.168.10 network?

                          true, you're right.

                          I put the dhcp again in pfsense.  8)

                          Tks

                            I just do not want the network 192.168.10.0 to access the network 192.168.0.0

                            but I think this is for another topic.
