      @Rico : Oh so that should have been:

      route 172.27.2.0 255.255.255.0 172.27.2.1
      

      ?

        No, as Gateway you specify the pfSense IP in the 172.17.3.x/x network.

            @Rico : 172.27.3.1 is the Gateway IP of the pfSense network.

              Ah I've overlooked "3.x has its own Gateway on 3.3 which is a VPN client".
              What do you mean with that? 172.27.3.3 is some kind of virtual IP sitting on pfSense? Some extra device like a cheap router?
              Are Clients in 172.27.3.x using 172.27.3.3 as Gateway?

                172.27.3.3 is a raspberry pi running OpenVPN client.
                All clients on 172.27.3.x use 172.27.3.3 as their gateway.
                I have the exceptions (above) set in the openvpn client config and dnsmasq.d to route requests to devices on 172.27.2.x from 172.27.3.x when named with my local domain name.

                  I tried this in my dnsmasq.d config file on the 172.27.3.3 gateway, but it doesn't seem to help:

                  rev-server=172.27.2.0/24,172.27.2.1

                    In Linux it should be someting like
                    ip route add 172.27.2.0/24 via 172.27.3.1 dev eth0
                    Maybe you need to enable IP forwarding
                    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
                    But I'm no Raspi guy, maybe those commands need some adjustment.

                      @Rico : ip forwarding is turned on.
                      When I entered your 'ip route' command, I got this:

                      root@wormhole:/home/pi# ip route add 172.27.2.0/24 via 172.27.3.1 dev eth0
                      RTNETLINK answers: File exists
                      
                      

                      So, it looks like that's already in there. But still no joy.

                            That looks Okay to me, but routing is still asynchronous.
                            You can either add routes to your endpoints in the 172.27.3.0/24 network or tell pfSense to use 172.27.3.3 as Gateway for 172.27.3.0/24. Check https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/routing/static-routes.html

                              Probably the best and clean solution would be to get rid of the Raspi and use pfSense as your VPN Client.

                                Ok, so I already had 172.27.3.3 set up as a gateway for the 172.27.3.x Interface.

                                Not sure how to add a route to an endpoint in the 172.27.3.0/24 network, but I'll dig around for how to do that on those devices I need to access from 172.27.2.x

                                Thanks!

                                  I'm still dead.
                                  Can't figure out how to set a static route on hassio or a tasmota device.
                                  And I know my

                                  172.27.2.0/24 via 172.27.3.1 dev eth0
                                  

                                  works, because if I remove that route, then I can't get to anything on the 2.x network from the 3.x network. But I'm still unable to access anything on the 3.x network from the 2.x network.

                                  I'll jump over the the OpenVPN forum and see if they can help. But if anyone has any further ideas, please let me know.

                                  Thanks @Rico !!

                                    Here's a tracert from the 172.27.2.x network (my PC) to a device on the 172.27.3.x network (my Home Assistant Server):

                                    C:\Users\DaHai>tracert hassio.asgard
                                    
                                    Tracing route to hassio.asgard [172.27.3.4]
                                    over a maximum of 30 hops:
                                    
                                      1     1 ms     1 ms     1 ms  bifrost.asgard [172.27.2.1]
                                      2     2 ms     2 ms     1 ms  hassio.asgard [172.27.3.4]
                                    
                                    Trace complete.
                                    

                                    It routes and complete pretty much instantly, but I can't bring its web page up in my browser.
                                    I get "The site can't be reached"

                                    This is the same with any other device on the 3.x network when I try to access it via its web page from the 2.x network.

                                      Maybe the iptables.up.rules is set up wrong on the OpenVPN RPI3B+ device?

                                        @LeiShen said in 2 Networks, 2 Gateways, same Router. Routing Question:

                                        -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

                                        Well, it looks like that was the problem. I don't know why it was in there. I don't know what taking it out might break, but now I can get to 3.x devices from the 2.x network!

                                        I'll have to look through my notes to see why it was put in there to begin with...

                                        Cheers!
