      Hello all,
      I have a WiFi access point on its own VLAN created on PfSense (192.168.100.1) and my main LAN is (192.168.0.1)
      I want to block access from the AP to the main network, so I created a firewall rule under my WiFi Vlan tab with the following:

      
      IPv4*    Source-Wifi NET  Protocol-ANY   Destination-WAN NET
      
      

      but that's blocks completely my traffic from the AP to the WAN or LAN.

      If i modify the rule to be Destination-ANY then it worked, but I can access my LAN devices as well which is not what I'm trying to do.

      
      IPv4*    Source-Wifi NET  Protocol-ANY   Destination-ANY
      
      

      Any ideas what am I doing wrong?
