      I have setup PFSense in Google cloud and able to connect to PFSense GUI from the internet through WAN address. At the same time added a second interface in the Google cloud VM while installing the machine, and made it as a LAN interface with static IP as 10.1.1.100/24. Also added a firewall rule in Google cloud so all traffic in 10.1.1.0/24 is allowed within this subnet and also added a firewall rule in PFSense so it allows all traffic to LAN IP. Server interface IP is 10.1.1.200/24. I am able to ping the server interface from another server within the same network.

      After all this setup, I am not able to ping the server or the Firewall from server on LAN IP, please check the below config and screenshot, any help in this is highly appreciated:
