      I have two networks:
      Office = 10.0.1.0/24

      • A Raspberry Pi (10.0.1.253) is running Tailscale as a Subnet Router advertising routes 10.0.1.0/24. This is confirmed when looking at the Tailscale web UI.
      • Any computer at the office can access the "Home" network using their IP's given out by the Home router.

      Home = 192.168.1.0/24

      • Pfsense Community Edition (192.168.1.1) running Tailscale as a Subnet Router advertising routes 192.168.1.0/24. This is confirmed when looking at the Tailscale web UI.
      • No computer on the home network can ping or ssh into any computer at the office using their IP's given out in the series of 10.0.1.0/24.
      • I attempted to do a traceroute 10.0.1.253 but the traceroute ended at the Pfsense box, so I'm guessing that I have something configured incorrectly on Pfsense. I'm very new to traceroute, so I might be reading the data incorrectly, but it never got past the first ping to the Pfsense box, the other 29 jumps never resolved to anything IP, not even what should be my Cable ISP boxes.
      • Although months ago I had it working with the same Raspberry Pi, but then I had a SD card corruption, and now months later after I get the Pi set up again with a new SD card, the two won't connect both directions. As I mentioned I can go from the Office network to any computer on the Home network, but I'm unable to go from the Home network to any computer on the Office network. I haven't changed any of the configurations on the Pfsense box so this is strange that it fails to work when it did work in the past.
      • I am able to connect from a home computer that is running Tailscale to the RPi using the RPi's assigned Tailscale IP address found in the Tailscale web UI by either ssh or I can ping it using the Tailscale IP too.

        @mowest Do you have pfSense configured to "accept subnet routes"?
