      I added static routes to internal networks and they are not routing at all.

      We have a router that routes to all the other internal subnets. I added static routes within pfSense to the other networks pointing to the router. However, trace routes from workstations are just sent out the WAN rather than being routed to the main router.

      I can ping the networks using pfSense's ping utility.

      what am I doing wrong?

        Do you happen to use mutliwan or loadbalancing in your setup?

          there is a select box to add rules to allow all traffic for static routes, you probably want this.
          See the advanced page.

              The checkbox did the the trick. I didn't read the description right. I thought it was implying if pfSense was doing the routing between the subnets.

              Yes, I have two WAN connections.
