      Hello, this is my first post here...

      I am a newbie in Pfsense and currently using Pfsense 2.4.5 version.

      The interfaces I have are the following:
      WAN1: 192.168.20.x ---coming from ISP 1
      WAN2: 192.168.10.x---coming from ISP 2
      LAN1: 10.0.0.x
      LAN2: 10.0.3.x

      Policy based routing on both LANs are as follows:
      LAN 1 using--- WAN1 Gateway
      LAN2 using ---WAN2 Gateway

      LAN 1 is getting internet connection of WAN 1
      LAN 2 is getting internet connection of WAN 2

      I want that LAN 1 and LAN 2 are able to talk to each other despite having different gateways. Is it possible to do so?

      Please answer in simple terms as I am new to this, Thanks a lot in advance.

        Just add a firewall rule to the interfaces with the respective other LAN as destination without setting a gateway. Put this rule above the policy routing rule, so that it's probed first.
