      I'm pretty new to pfsense
      I've set up VM's in Esxi in my home lab for pfsense, Windows 10 and 7. And there is an issue with inter-connectivity inside vlans.

      home gateway router 192.168.0.1
      pfsense wan 192.168.0.10/24
      pfsense lan1 192.168.1.1/24
      pfsense lan2 192.168.2.1/24

      Windows 10 192.168.1.100/24 - can ping all pfsense interfaces, home router and Windows 7
      Windows 7 192.168.2.100/24 - can’t ping any other interfaces
      pfsense can ping 192.168.2.100 , but cannot ping 192.168.1.100

      Problem being i would like Windows 7 to have pfsense lan2 as gateway and to ping-able.
      Second problem is why can’t pfsense ping Windows 10?
      Also i'm not sure how i might need to set up lan2 to send routes to pfsense wan as it's internet gateway

        Windows firewall will block ping replies by default. Run a search on how to enable ping reply in Windows firewall.

          @The_G said in Pfsense home lab vlan connectivity issue:

          Windows 7 192.168.2.100/24 - can’t ping any other interfaces

          The default pfSense LAN interface, 192.168.1.1/24, has a default firewall that passes ICMP just fine.

          The OPT1 interface - or whatever name you gave it - has no GUI firewall rules. So, by default, nothing** enters. That includes ICMP.
          So, what firewall rule did you put on OPT1 ?

          ** there are some exceptions, as DHCP traffic.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??
