Radius server on the otherside of a VPN

[ssanford]

I have a radius server on the other side of a VPN tunnel and PfSense will not send authentication requests to it. The requests go out the WAN interface. I was able to make it work by adding a static route in the command line with "route add 10.54.12.0/24 192.168.67.1" with 192.168.67.1 being the LAN interface. I wanted to add this as a persistent route but the /etc/rc.conf file looks like this:

cat /etc/rc.conf
THIS FILE DOES NOTHING, DO NOT MAKE CONFIG CHANGES HERE

So is there a place to add the static route in the OS itself or is there a better way to fix this issue?

Assuming it's an IPSec VPN then that's the way to work around it.

And, yes , in pfSense you should never be manually editing a conf file like that.
