Static route added via route utility in pfSense shell is working but suddenly stopped working

@JeGr yes via SSH console. As far as I know it doesn't get purged. It stays there. The fact that I had it working for 4 days.
Doesn't mean it doesn't get overwritten if you make any change in the UI that somehow triggers a route/gateway specific reload.
Adding this route via System/Routing is not possible. Only GW options listed there are the current GW only of pfSense. My static route is routed to other GW.
Nonsense. Add your GW 192.168.1.246 on whatever interface that is on your Firewall (igb1?) to your gateway list, disable monitoring if that is a problem and add a static route. Just like the documentation says...

@JeGr I tried deleting, then added again my static route, still won't work.
Adding this other gateway as my gateway for my LAN1 is not possible. Should not set upstream GW for LAN right? -

Then you're doing something wrong. Post your screens from gateway and routes screens so we can see and help. I've configured countless setups that were not directly connected on the same LAN in the same way: added a manual route via console, got into the WebUI, added the gateway and static routes there, done. No disconnect any more.
And no you shouldn't set it as your LAN gateway. Just add it as another gateway and add a route via it on the static routes tab and it's done.

@JeGr how to add my other router as another gateway for my pfSense?
-
@JeGr here is my screens:
GW:
Route:
-
That is not the Routes Screen I was talking but the "static routes" tab on system/routing!
Also: I don't see your gateway 192.168.1.246 in the gateway screenshot.
-
@JeGr I don't have static routes under system/routing. I can't add my static route there.
How to add gateway my other router as gateway on my pfSense?
-
I was already telling you at least twice now
Select the Interface from which your remote LAN gateway has to be reached (I expect LAN! or otherwise you wouldn't add it there manually every...time...again) and add it. Then add your static route with THAT newly defined gateway.A gateway is a gateway. It hasn't to be on WAN if it's not an uplink.

@JeGr thank you for clarifying this. This really helped me. Done setting my gateway on LAN interface. It worked well ^_^
Thank you so much.

@JeGr route still won't work after adding static route! My static route via static/routing still need a rule on my LAN interface to destination 202.60.9.71 in order to access it.
-
Post your:
Interface rules
Gateway configuration
Static routeAnd describe exactly what source address cannot reach what destination address.
A network diagram would probably help you communicate your issue more effectively.

@Derelict
Interface rule:
Gateway configuration:
My LAN address is unable to reach 202.60.9.71 without the LAN rule, should be accessible without it since I have a static route for it.
I already posted my diagram before, but here it is:
