      So dude that rule my computers is forcing traffic out your wan gateway.. That is your public connection, so no it would not be able to use your vip..

      You need a rule above that for my computers that allows it to go to your 192.168 network your PtP stuff.  That rules says hey anything in my computer no matter where its going shove it down the wan2axiaGW..

      Rules are top down, first rule to fire wins, no other rules are evaluated..

        Sounds like a perfect use case for a management VLAN for those radios. That's what I would probably do (if they support it.)

            Depends on what they support. Is the normal traffic tagged or untagged. Is that management VLAN tagged or untagged? What is a clan?

              I think he meant vlan ;) not sure he would be talking about a collapsed lan ;)

              So did you get it working once you fixed your rules?

                  Why do you need a gateway?  Once you create a vip in the network the p2p address are on, and you nat to that vip.

                  You said you can ping the p2p IPs from pfsense.  So your vip is working, you create the nat so when your clients go there pfsense nats it to its vip.  Your p2p clients think your talking to them from an IP on their network.

                  Problem I saw as that your lan rules were not going to allow your clients to use the vip, since forcing it down the the gateway.  Just put a rule above that that allows access to that p2p network.

                          Why is the gear showing on that rule?  That means you messed with the advanced setion of the rules.  So see hits to it..  So sniff on your wan when you try and connect do you see your traffic going out?

                            Yeah. Mouse over that gear on the bypass policy routing rule. Why is that there?

                            What are your current outbound NAT rules?

                                  And I also had to add a VIP on the 192.168.1.x/24 network.

                                  Hope this helps somebody else.

                                      Actually Derelict.. Lets see stated multiple times to create a vip in reply #1, then again in #3 and then #5 and then #7 and then #14…. that was just on the first page ;)

                                      And then reported on this page 3 of the thread that he has his mask wrong on his vip.. he had a /32, etc..

                                      Got to love how a 15 second thing to do runs into days and days ;)  Really all that was need to do was given in my reply #1

                                      If he wasn't forcing traffic out a gateway this would of been working days ago..

                                      edit: 3 pages of trying to help this guy, not 1 thank you.. And then from his last post he makes it like we never told him to create a vip hehehe  Got to love it...

                                      Why would you create ind rules like that?  Why would you not just use an alias or /cidr dest?
