        Check your settings on Unifi controller and let us know how it went.

          ok I am still having the same issues, I did watch a video about tagging and untagging, but he was creating a DHCP on the switch and not passing the DHCP range through a VLAN.

          I did try creating a profile setting the Native network but this didn'twork as I got the same results, that I was able to ping from VLAN to anything but no from LAN to VLAN

          and here is a little picture of my network, showing there my DHCP are

            If your client is getting dhcp from your dhcp server for vlan 20... This means your tagging is correct.. Or your traffic would never hit the vlan dhcp server.

            Not being able to ping some device on vlan 20.. You sure there is no firewall on this device. Out of the box windows for example is not going to allow some device from anything but its local network to ping it.

            Simple sniff on pfsense vlan 20 interface while you ping the vlan 20 pc IP from lan.. Do you see the ping request go out?

            That pic of tagging makes NO sense.. What port is that on.. Your saying vlan 20 is native.. but then you say tag all?

            edit: One last time..

            P1 on your switch vlan 1 (lan) untagged. Vlan 20 Tagged. Port 15.. Vlan 20 untagged..

                And lets see these profiles.

                Tagging vlan 1 to port 15 makes ZERO sense.. The only thing on that port should be 20 and it should be untagged.

                    Show the profile on port 1 (pfsense), and the profile on port 15 (pc)

                        @chrischambers I have just check my firewall and this is turn off.
                        I also just check that the port is working the LAN range and this works, with no issues.
                        it is just something with VLAN 20 that is missing

                        just found the old video I used to create my vlans minus the blocking of extra vlans

                          Port 1 from your drawing is connected to pfsense... What is the profile you have assigned to port 1 on your switch..

                          port1.png

                          Port 15.. What you showed is WRONG... The only vlan on that should be native vlan 20.. nothing tagged, no other vlans

                                Ok if you have your vlans setup correctly on your switch.. And your pc on vlan 20 interface on your switch gets an IP from dhcp on pfsense for vlan 20..

                                And it has internet I take it?

                                But you can not ping it from lan?

                                What are the rules on lan? Your not policy routing traffic out some vpn are you?

                                Post up rules on lan and vlan 20 interfaces on pfsense.

                                    Ok your forcing traffic out your gateway that 1.9 IP to plextv? Not sure what is the point of that?

                                    That is wan and lan - where is vlan 20?

                                    As long as your not coming from 1.9 and going to whatever is in that alias for plextv - you would be able to go to your vlan 20 via your lan net source any any rule.

                                    So makes no difference what rules you have on vlan 20. lan should be able to ping anything on vlan20

                                    So again sniff on vlan 20 interface while your pinging from lan - do you see the ping go out.. If so then problem is not pfsense..

                                    Are you sending everything out some vpn.. I don't understand why your trying to policy route traffic out your wan gateway? Unless you have everything else going out some vpn?

                                      I have a plex server sitting behind the PFsense, and looking at videos it informed me that I needed to added that rule.

                                      is sniff the pinging within pfsense ?

                                        Sorry but NO.. How does that make any sense? Again are you using some vpn service?? Inbound traffic to your plex, would go back out your wan.. As to plex going somewhere on its own to pull metadata, etc. - why would that not work via a vpn connection. If that is what your using.

                                        What do you have in plextv alias exactly

                                        Yes go to diagnostic - packet capture.

                                            Ok if plex is just contacting plex.tv to get its public IP.. Then yeah you would want to make sure it goes out your normal wan..

                                            As long this IP is showing your actual normal wan IP from your isp then yeah that should be fine.
