      Why do you say this??

      default Gateway Linux Server)

      Do you have a gateway set on the lan interface?

        Thank you once again.

        Default Gateway is Linux Server because if i give pfsense ip as default gateway then all users will get internet (even after proxy not enable), and they can access all the sites. few users only send mails no internet, few users mails & few internet sites like government sites.

        So i given Linux Server ip as Gateway, then default internet will not work. if proxy configured then only it will work. (any better solution please let me know)

        In LAN interface I have not given any Gateway info, but in Routing - Gateways - i have added this Linux Server Ip Address. Please find the below picture for your reference.

          Thank you very much. I selected Gateway for LAN Interface and it started pinging. ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„

          IT IS WORKING. โœŒ โœŒ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

          Once again Thank you very much. Very much appreciated.

            YOU SHOULDN'T!!!! If you give it a gateway you just created a WAN, and would be natting too it..

            Seems you got a mess.. Please draw up this network.. You have a downstream network from this LAN to get to your vlans??? What is at 192.192.0.1?? When pfsense IP address in lan is 192.192.0.3

              Ohhh Ok.
              Thanks.

              We have upstream & downstream network from LAN to VLAN.

              Initially 192.192.0.1 was Gateway with squid proxy (due to some issues squid stopped working.) If we give this IP as gateway then users can not access internet. If i give PFSENSE ip address in gateway all users can use Internet. So in pfsense box i given 192.192.0.1 a gateway.

              All the users have mail access but only few have internet access. in that few have full internet access & few have restricted access.

                Yeah that is an asymmetrical mess.. Is this 180.x.x.x actually yours, your isp gave you this address space or its it like your 192.192 where you just used public space you picked out of the blue sky?

                That needs to be fixed dude... Why do you have the 2 firewalls? If you want to use 2 firewalls then you should connect them with a transit network between So that your lan and other vlans can talking to each other without being asymmetrical.

                Is this 180 network routed to you? I am not quite understanding the ISP 214.x.x.x and then lan of 180.x.x.x do you have devices on this 180 network or just your firewall/routers connected to it?

                Please explain this 180 network and be happy to draw up diagram of how this should be connected.

                    So 180 is routed to you, and your using your wan for your ubuntu router your calling server.. If its routing - its routing!! If you have clients using it as gateway then you have asymmetrical problem.. When they want to talk to vlans

                    In your drawing What are these loops suppose to represent exactly??

                    0_1535887253868_loops.png

                    So connect your 2 routers via a transit network - lets call it 172.16/30

                    0_1535887749320_transitconnection.png

                    Now you do not have asymmetrical.. Router on left says to get to that 192.192 talk to router on right 172.16.0.2... Route on right that says hey want to talk to vlans on left talk to router on left 172.16.0.1

                    BTW - FIX that 192.192 - that is NOT yours and PUBLIC... Use RFC1918!!!

                      Thanks John.

                      I created the drawing using jNetMap software.

                      when i am adding interface it shows like that. Firewall means RED right so may be it shows RED and other shows green.

                      I will try based on your suggestion. Will let you know by tuesday. Sure I will change the 192.192 series.

                      Thanks once again.

                        Dear John,

                        How can i configure as per your diagram? Please suggest.

                        My Requirements

                        I want to place 1 Server pfsense and other I want to remove. Everything has to work through pfsense. Also I dont want to give full internet access to all. Only 5 users has to get full internet access and rest users has to get internet via SQUID. So Please guide me.

                        Thank you once again.

                          @slkamath I guess your problem is that you only allow TCP / UDP traffic and not ICMP, maybe you could allow ANY....

                            With that my issue is not solving. I tried that already.

                              Dear John,

                              Thank you. My issue solved.

                              I got confused and made everyone confuse.

                              WAN- 203 Series
                              LAN - 192 Series (192.192. series will change in few days to 192.168.) Currently Windows DC is running in that 192.192 series. So will change in few days.

                              Please find the below link.

                              Big Thanks to you John. No words to express my gratitude.
