      Hi,

      We are currently looking to try and configure an onsite pfSense to be the default gateway for machines onsite, the default gateway will then be on the LAN and pointed to another pfSense which is connected via a layer 2 connection.

      The DC firewall is on the same subnet as the LAN and we have setup a gateway that points to the LAN address of the pfSense in the DC.

      From the DC I have configured a static route for the internal IP range to point at the pfSense onsite.

      Some apps seem to be struggling with this such as our remote access app when routed in this manner.

      Are there any guides or does anyone have any recommendations for this.

      The idea behind a device onsite is to be able to implement some automatic failover. The WAN of the onsite pfSense will be plugged into a backup WAN connection and that is in tier 2 of the Gateway Group traffic will be pointed at.

        Curious. Are you seeing Group Policy Errors in some of your client's Event Logs? If so, what are they? Wondering if you have a DNS issue as AD relies heavily on DNS.
