      Hello,
      I am deploying pfSense VM in our corporate network which is composed of about 20 subnets (DMZ, remote sites, servers, computers...) considered as internal networks and a DMZ for web server.
      I started by installing pfSense in a virtual machine containing three network cards: LAN, WAN, DMZ.
      The problem is, my network is composed of many subnets, it's like the pfsense firewall is behind a firewall and needs to reach those networks.
      I would like to know now how can i define static routes for my networks from pfSense.?
      Thank you.

        It's done under System>Routing. Of course, you'll need to have the interfaces, including VLANs if used, configured properly.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            You may not need interfaces for each subnet unless you're routing between them in pfSense.

            You will need whatever the upstream router is configured as a gateway in pfSense to add the static routes to.
