      Looks good, just remove the Upstream: 10.0.0.1.

      In your DHCP for the 10.0.0.0/24 network, you should have the default gateway listed as 10.0.0.1 also make sure you have DNS servers listed in there.

      As for pinging, check your firewall logs. That will tell you if thats why its getting blocked. If it is showing as blocked, make sure you have your allow rules on both pfSense LAN AND WAN. If it gets out it still needs to get back in  ;)

      When using the pfSense Diag. Ping tool, its important to select the from IP as the auto setting will choose the IP closest to the destination i.e. if your pinging 192.168.0.1 it will use 192.168.0.3 and not 10.0.0.1. This will cause it to bypass any firewall rules on the LAN (10.0.0.1) interface.

      Slow code? Sounds like a good reason to buy more hardware!

        oke status update:

        removed the upstream on LAN and added DNS 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 and default gateway 10.0.0.1 under services/ DHCP Server / LAN

        Server: can ping to 192.168.0.100 (with CMD of MS)

        workstation: cant ping to 192.168.1.100 (with CMD of MS)

        i think i need some help with where to make the rules  :-[

        but we made some progress…. :D

        --- off topic---

        I resetted pfsense to factory default no worry i made a snap :P
        and i found out that by default i able to ping both ways.. so was trying to found out why .... but did not find any.... :(

          @lars314:

          Server: can ping to 192.168.0.100 (with CMD of MS)

          workstation: cant ping to 192.168.1.100 (with CMD of MS)

          What is 192.168.1.100? That's not in any of our mentioned/configured subnets.

          So far I have:
          TP-Link WAN: (DHCP? doesn't matter for this topic)
          TP-Link LAN: 192.168.0.1/24

          pfSense WAN 192.168.0.3/24
          pfSense LAN:10.0.0.1/24

          Server: ?
          Workstation: 192.168.0.100/24

          Slow code? Sounds like a good reason to buy more hardware!

              ok so:
              TP-Link WAN: (DHCP? doesn't matter for this topic)
              TP-Link LAN: 192.168.0.1/24
              Has route to 10.0.0.0/24 via 192.168.0.3

              pfSense WAN 192.168.0.3/24
              pfSense LAN:10.0.0.1/24

              Server: 10.0.0.100/24
              -Gateway 10.0.0.1

              Workstation: 192.168.0.100/24
              -Gateway 192.168.0.1

              Server to Workstation - working
              Workstation to Server - not working?

              Can you show me your firewall rules on pfSense WAN and LAN?

                  Under NAT outbound, this MUST be disabled. That's why you can ping from 10.0.0.0/24 to 192.168.0.0/24. NAT will see the ping on its way out and map 10.0.0.100 to 192.168.0.3:[some port number] (This is actually called port address translation.)

                  If you ran a packet sniffer on 192.168.0.100 while pinging from 10.0.0.100, 192.168.0.100 would see the ping came from 192.168.0.3.

                  When you try to ping from 1923.168.0.100 to 10.0.0.100 that port map does not exist and will be blocked.

                  NAT (PAT - port address translation in most implementations) hides a network behind one or a set of IPs. This is why when you have a bunch of PCs connected to the internet you only get one public address. Your home router uses PAT to connect all of your devices to the internet and coincidentally that's also why you need port  forwarding to connect to your computers from outside of your home network.

                  Long story short, disable NAT. Your rules look ok to me.

                    I did turn off the NAT function, but know i not able to ping like you sad.
                    so think we need some Firewall rules ?

                    My goal is to use MS WDS // MDT for study  :)

                      Can you send screenshots for your pfSense routes, gateways, and dhcp? Also the static route on your TP-Link.

                          Remove GW_LAN. Also on the DHCP on pfSense make sure the default gateway is set to 10.0.0.1
