Pfsense and Static Route

francesco.gabriele · Dec 19, 2012, 2:49 PM

hi guys, i've a problem and i cannot understand how to fix it: i've a firewall with 2 wan, one as default. Rules has been configured for single ip, and in every ip i specify the gateway to use, so some ips have the default and some other have the second. Everything works fine but static rules works only for the ips whic have the default gateway. Anyone Does know why this happen?

Pfsense Version 2.0.1-RELEASE

You need rules to follow static routes before rules with specific gateway.

When you add a rule forcing gateway, it will ignore routing table as you are forcing a route for it.

Thanks for the help

can you show me how to make the rule?

example

Wan1 192.168.10.1
Wan2 192.168.20.1
Static 192.168.13.0 gw 192.168.10.1
Rules Sorce ip 192.168.30.10 gw 192.168.20.1

just allow the traffic you want on remote destination without setting a gatway.
