      creating a static rule between two subnets
      dear all,
      here in our network we have two subnets first subnet is 192.168.0.0 and the second subnet 192.168.3.0 which is the LAN interface of PFSENSE server and pfsense WAN interface is in range 0, I created a firewall rule so I can enter the webconfigurator from the WAN interface, I also created static route on my desktop from range 0 to range 3 the interface is pfsense gateway interface now I'm able to ping clients in range 3 from my computer, but when I try to RDP a computer from range 0 to range 3 I notice that the connection is not stable at all, am I doing something wrong or am I missing something in order to make the connection stable

        You should connect any private Subnets to LAN, OPT1, OPT2, ... Interface and public/untrusted networks to WAN.

              You would normally have both private subnets as internal interfaces on pfSense but here you have pfSense inside your network presumably behind some other router for some reason.

              Check for blocked traffic when you're using RDP in the firewall log.

              Do you have the WAN firewall rules open for all the appropriate ports and destination?
