Can I communicate two PC on differents subnets
-
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my pfsense, the problem is when I tried to pass a communication between two computer on two differents subnets, I field,
Take a look for the attachement,
I want to comunicate PC1 with PC2
Please help me to resolve this problem

That's a feature, not a problem.
You're going to have to set up rules for the 2 computers on each subnet to allow them to communicate.

yes, I did this, but the problem is that I have a router between PC2 and pfsense, and the router has a good configuration, I don't know if I should to specify the route of this communication or what ?

You have to create a static route on each router, or you will have to setup a dynamic routing protocol like rip for each router to discover the routes across the whole network. Take a look at YouTube I'm sure there are plenty of videos of people explaining how routing protocols work. RIP would probably be the easiest to use for your needs. You will need to download a package from to get RIP functionality.

your doing a downstream router.. Yeah there are a few things that have to happen. And this downstream router is on a lan side port right. your not using it as your wan on pfsense?
While I like your /30 transit.. Your other segments - why are you using /16??
There are quite a few threads that go over downstream routing with pfsense. I should prob put something up on the wiki, seems to come up quite often as of late.
Your going to need to create a gateway on pfsense pointing to this /30 IP of the downstream router. And then a route for the network behind the downstream router. Your then going to have to adjust the rules on your transit network to allow the downstream. And your also going to need to alter your pfsense outbound nat rules if these downstream networks are going to use pfsense for internet access, etc.
