      And they are using the internal IP..

      If you can access another device in the vlan, then it has nothing to do with pfsense... You sure this http server doesn't have a firewall, and is using pfsense as its gateway?

      Simple sniff on pfsense lan IP when you try and access the web gui IP, 192.168.20.5 - if you see pfsense send the syn, then its on the web server - firewall maybe?

            http sir server firewall is off, and configured static ip with pfsense gateway. That is why I can access in LAN, I just wonder why in VLAN i cannot browse even it is exempted in internet option proxy.

            Thank you sir for all your replies. God bless

                Well I can not see them.. ;)

                Are you using an explicit proxy or transparent.. Again - take 2 seconds and sniff.. Do you see pfsense sending the syn?

                Here sniffing on one of my vlans while I hit 80 from a different vlan

                See while sniffing on the 192.168.3 interface I see packet from 192.168.9.100

                  So your floating rule is forcing traffic out that loadbalancer gateway - so NO you wouldn't be able to get to you lan from there.

                  Create a rule That allows where your trying to go before you force traffic out a gateway. As I stated in post 1.

                  Put a rule above your floating that allows your annex net to get to your server IP on the lan net.. With such a rule I don't see how your saying your accessing your file servers to be honest.

                  BTW your 2 bottom rules on your lan are completely pointless and would never be triggered.. Since you have an any rule above them.

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

                    Transparent proxy : disabled . because I'm using squid proxy LDAP authentication

                            You need to make sure you allow access to what you want locally to access before you shove anything out a gateway. Remember the rule orders.
