    When I try to connect to the access point from the windows desktop the connection is routed via WAN and the first hop is my ISP servers resulting in host not found.

    This is a small home network I've setup to learn pfSense. I read that routing between networks on the same device is automatic. Not sure if this is correct. Can anyone spot the problem?

    I have no static routes setup and the default gateway is WAN.

    Output of trace route from 192.168.1.100 > 192.168.10.2

    Tracing route to 192.168.10.2 over a maximum of 30 hops

      My guess is that your AP is probably configured wrong somehow.. Do you have it set for DHCP?

      Can you access it from a device connected to it?

      pfSense by default routes between its LAN interfaces. And your firewall rules would allow it.

      edit- how is your AP LAN setup?

        Or he is running some vpn on his client... The first hit on a traceroute on that windows machine would be pfsense IP on igb1.

        example

        $ tracert -d 192.168.2.4
        
        Tracing route to 192.168.2.4 over a maximum of 30 hops
        
          1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.9.253
          2    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.2.4
        
        Trace complete.
        

        That is from my windows box on 192.168.9.100, to an AP I have running on my 192.168.2 vlan.. Sim to the OP setup.

          Yes I believe the AP is given an IP via DHCP. Which works fine for what I need it for. If I connect to the access point control panel from my phone on its own network it works as it should.

                Why not just run the vpn client on pfsense and then just policy route what you want to go out the vpn ;)
