      Hi,

      I have the following setup:

      Internet –- > pfSense-01 ---> LAN (192.168.50.1/24 run Internal DHCP) ---> unmanged-switch-01 ---> pfSense-02 (WAN: 192.168.50.13/24, LAN: 192.168.100.1/24 run internal DHCP) --> git-web-server (192.168.100.11).

      Issues:

      I can't ping or access to the git-web-server (192.168.100.11) from the local workstation in pfSense-01-LAN-subnet (i.e. 192.168.50.5).
      I've tried the NAT and Static Routes on pfSense-01 but it doesn't work. However, the git-web-server access ping to internet or pfSense-01-LAN-subnet.
      The idea is that I like to build a git-web-server that assigns an IP address by another pfSense box (pfSense-002) stays behind the main pfSense box (pfSense-001) within same pfSense-001-LAN interface.
      I think I've messed up with the routing. Please advise how should I tackle this?
      Thanks

        It would be simpler if you put subnet 192.168.100.0/24 on an opt1 interface in pfSense-01. No need for pfSense-02 in this case.

          Your pfSense-01 does not know nothing about 192.168.100/24 network.
          Add a static route to that network with gateway pointing to pfSense-02, make sure you add rules on pfsense-02 on WAN interface permitting access from WAN network to LAN network/host/s.

          Need full pfSense in a cloud? PM for details!
