Using WAN port to access a LAN
-
I want to access two separate LAN:s from a single point, so the idea was to use a netgate router with pfsense, configure two WAN ports, and connect the LAN:s to the WAN ports, and my laptop to the LAN port.
But I'm not able to access the LAN:s from my laptop, what am I missing?
Do I need to setup a static route on my laptop as well? -

Allowing the access on the firewall of the destination device?

@viragomann There is no FW on the laptop

@sminded The laptop would need pfSense as its gateway (or, custom routes to send traffic there). All 3 subnets need to be different subnets/numbering.
pfSense would by default NAT through its WAN IPs so it should just work going that direction.

Do I need to setup a static route on my laptop as well?You need to explain this in better detail.
From the sound of it, the two LANs are in the same building and you're connecting them each to a WAN port on the same pfSense (with 2 WAN ports configured), then connecting your laptop to the LAN port of that same pfSense.
Is that what you're doing??If so, just use 2 LAN ports instead.
